What is Advanced Retinol?
Advanced Retinol is a concentrated anti-aging serum formulated with 0.5% retinol, phospholipids, and glycolipids. It visibly firms the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and pores. Softens age spots and evens skin tone. The lipids help restore the moisture barrier and minimize the dryness or flaking commonly associated with retinol.
Advanced Retinol combines retinol with bio-identical glycolipids and phospholipids to provide replacement of moisturizing lipids along with the benefits of 0.5% retinol. We offer only one retinol concentration with multiple potencies — Advanced Retinol allows you to vary the frequency of use based on your skin type on the Fitzpatrick scale.
Who it’s for
All skin types except very sensitive or post-surgical skin. Skin type 1 (Fitzpatrick) should start using it every night or three times per week. Types 2 to 4 can generally tolerate it twice daily after the first two weeks of use.

Phospholipids and Glycolipids: Lipids found in the outermost layer of the skin (stratum corneum) that protect the skin’s moisture content and barrier function to prevent redness, dryness, and irritation.
