SC PRO TIP

Start by using it every other night to build up tolerance. Follow with a hydrating moisturiser. As always, we recommend using a sunscreen during the day, as retinol can increase sun sensitivity.

What does the SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 Anti-Ageing Night Cream do?

Retinol 0.5 is a concentrated night cream formulated with 0.5% pure retinol to promote skin cell turnover and improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores and blemishes. With regular use, it helps reveal smoother, firmer and more refined-looking skin.

Who is a Retinol 0.5 best suited for?

A Retinol 0.5 is ideal for those who have already built a tolerance to a lower-strength retinol, such as Retinol 0.3, and are ready to progress to a more intensive anti-ageing treatment. If you're new to retinol, it's generally recommended to start with a lower concentration before moving to Retinol 0.5.

How often should I use a Retinol 0.5?

Begin by applying a pea-sized amount one to two evenings per week to clean, dry skin. As your skin adapts, gradually increase to every second night and eventually nightly use, as tolerated. Building tolerance slowly helps minimise dryness and irritation.

Can I use a Retinol 0.5 with vitamin C?

Yes. SkinCeuticals recommends applying your vitamin C antioxidant serum in the morning and Retinol 0.5 in the evening. This routine provides antioxidant protection during the day while supporting overnight skin renewal and helping to improve visible signs of ageing.

Should I use a Retinol 0.5 with exfoliating acids?

To help minimise irritation, it's generally best to avoid using Retinol 0.5 in the same evening routine as exfoliating acids such as glycolic, lactic or salicylic acid. Instead, alternate these products on different nights and always follow with a moisturiser if your skin feels dry.

Is peeling or redness normal when I start using Retinol 0.5?

Yes. Mild redness, dryness, flaking or peeling can occur as your skin adjusts to a higher-strength retinol. These effects are usually temporary and can often be reduced by introducing the product gradually and using a moisturiser to support your skin barrier.

How long does it take to see results from Retinol 0.5?

Many people notice smoother-feeling skin and improved texture within the first few weeks. More noticeable improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and overall skin clarity typically develop after several months of consistent use, as skin renewal continues over time.
