Retinol: A Skincare Powerhouse

THE GOLD STANDARD OF SKIN CARE

Retinol is commonly known as the gold standard anti-aging skin care ingredient due to its versatility and results. Retinol boosts cellular turnover and offers an impressive range of benefits including reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles, evening skin tone, improving skin texture, and minimizing breakouts by unclogging and minimizing pores.​

Vivier retinols use industry leading PolyPore® technology and a combination of soothing ingredients and antioxidants to achieve results that are impressive not irritating so you can enjoy smoother, firmer, more radiant-looking skin.

Benefits of Retinol

• Prevent or diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles

• Smooth and firm skin texture

• Improve hyperpigmentation

• Minimize blemishes and pores

• 3 levels for all skin types

Retinol Myths: Debunked

Retinol is a powerful skincare ingredient, but it doesn't need to be aggressive on the skin to be effective and deliver incredible results. Vivier's high potency pure retinol is encapsulated using Poly-Pore® technology to deliver a sustained slow release that reduces the irritation and redness often associated with retinol products.​

Incorporating retinol into your skincare routine in your 20s to prevent the development of fine lines and wrinkles is a smart skin care strategy. Starting early at a lower strength allows the skin to develop tolerance to retinol so you can progress to a stronger product over time when anti-aging needs are greater. Beyond anti-aging, retinol offers many benefits including skin brightening, evening skin tone, improving skin texture, and reducing oil and sebum that causes blemishes and breakouts.​

Not all retinols are created equal. Ingredient quality, strength, delivery system, technology, formula base and complimentary ingredients all play an important role in product performance, skin tolerance and ultimately the results you can expect to achieve.

Even sensitive skin types can use retinol when introduced properly. Starting with a low concentration and gentle formulation, using it 1–2 times a week, and buffering with moisturizer helps minimize irritation and build tolerance.

"I have very sensitive skin, and I really thought I was someone who wouldn’t be able to use retinol products at all. However I am loving this! I’ve been following the directions and my skin has improved after a couple of weeks with no negative effects- only positive. Thank you!"

"I was using another high end brand retinol that made my skin red and flaky. NOT this one! My skin has improved greatly, much smoother and not irritated. I can even use it nightly with no issues. Noticed fine lines have diminished too. Definitely a permanent item in my skin care routine now."
