  • 87% of patients said that skin is visibly brighter

By week 12 of the clinical study:

  • 87% of patients saw improvement in the overall appearance of their skin
  • 85% of patients said that skin tone is visibly even
  • 85% of patients said that skin texture is visibly improved

Protocol: a 12-week independent third-party clinical study of 46 participants to assess the efficacy potential of Retinol Skin Brightener. Participants represent females ages 40-64, with Fitzpatrick skin types II-IV. Supported with the use of Gentle Cleanser, Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30 and Hydrating Creme during the study.

Retinol's anticipated reactions such as redness, flaking, dryness or tightness are signs that a product is working. To manage reactions, start with 2-3 applications per week, then gradually increase to daily usage. Anticipated reactions will significantly diminish after tolerance is established and skin health has been restored.

I was afraid to try retinol again as I’d had bad experiences with it burning my skin in the past (after one use) but this product is lovely. I eased into it, twice a week and within a month I could use it every second day. I’m still building my skin up but it’s lovely and it works!
