How to use

Step 4 Treatments 1% Retinol Treatment - Travel Size

How to use a serum

Apply a pea-sized amount after cleansing, toning and exfoliating, and then follow with your serum and/or nighttime moisturiser. Avoid the lips, direct contact with the eye, and corners of the eyes. You may apply up to the orbital bone of the eye area. When first using the Clinical 1% Retinol, start with no more than 3 evenings per week, then gradually increase frequency to every other night and, finally, every evening as tolerated. 

Here's a step-by-step of your morning & evening skincare application.
Step 1: Cleanser
Wet your face and apply a small amount with gentle, circular motions. Rinse well. To remove heavy makeup, repeat or use with a clean, wet washcloth.
Step 2: Toner
With your fingertips or a cotton pad, gently apply over the face and neck. Do not rinse.
Step 3 Exfoliants
Gently apply with your fingertips or a cotton pad over the face and neck, including the eye area (avoid lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. Start slowly: Apply every other day and note your skin's response. Then use up to twice daily.
Step 4 Treatments
Dispense a pearl-sized amount to your hand and apply once or twice daily to the face, neck and eye area.
Step 5 Moisturisers
Use a day moisturiser as the last step in your morning skincare routine and apply liberally at least 15 minutes before stepping into sun exposure. As always, it's best to reapply every two hours once the skin has been exposed to direct sunlight. For a night moisturiser, apply a small amount once or twice daily to the face and neck.

FAQ

Most asked

What should I do if my skin reacts too strongly to Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?

If your skin reacts too strongly (resulting in red, scaly or dry skin) use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment less frequently or mix one pump of Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with your favourite Paula's Choice serum, Resist Moisture Renewal Oil Booster or night cream. If the skin continues to react, stop using the product. Protect skin daily with a moisturiser containing a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.

What’s the difference between the CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment and the CLINICAL PRO Retinaldehyde Dual-retinoid treatment?

The CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment uses concentrated pure retinol to target moderate to stubborn signs of aging, including etched lines, deep wrinkles and changes to the skin’s tone and texture due to sun damage. The formula also includes vitamin C and peptides to help stimulate and repair collagen – all contributing to visibly firmer skin. It’s considered a high-strength retinol ideal for experienced retinol users looking for a more concentrated skincare solution for wrinkles and sun damage. The CLINICAL PRO Retinaldehyde Dual-retinoid Treatment pairs 0,1% retinaldehyde to tackle advanced signs of ageing, combined with oleyl adapalenate as an additional supporting retinoid, giving it an advantage on helping to improve tone and texture concerns commonly linked to breakout-prone skin, such as enlarged pores and post-acne marks.

Who should try the CLINICAL Pro Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment?

If you’re already a 1% Retinol user and have additional breakout-related concerns, such as bumps, congestion, enlarged pores and post-breakout marks, on top of sun damage and signs of ageing, then you could consider switching to the CLINICAL Pro Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment. Additionally, if you have reached a plateau using a 1% retinol (meaning your skin is currently healthy but does not progress anymore) and you’d like to see further progress, then the retinaldehyde treatment could be a better option for you. Our retinaldehyde treatment, while being our strongest anti-ageing, is also a very gentle retinoid treatment. If 1% retinol still occasionally causes sensitization on your skin, then switching to the retinaldehyde may be a better option.

What is the difference between Resist 1% Retinol Booster and Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?

The Resist 1% Retinol Booster and Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment have many similarities. Both of these contain 1% retinol, peptides, a large amount of antioxidants and substances that prevent skin irritation. The difference is mainly in texture, usage and skin type (although they are both suitable for all skin types).
Resist 1% Retinol Booster has a thinner, fluid texture, so it can be easily mixed with your favourite serum or night cream. It is ideal for normal to oily and breakout-prone skin. It is also a great choice if you are looking for a higher concentration of retinol. You can blend Resist 1% Retinol Booster with your serum or night cream for a milder effect or more frequent use.
Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment has a creamy lotion texture that is ideal for normal to dry skin. It is an intensive treatment with a high concentration of retinol. This product is suitable for when you are used to retinol treatments, and are looking for more powerful results. It is best to add this product to your skincare routine gradually - initially no more than every other day.

Are there any products that I cannot combine with Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?

You can combine the Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with any other skincare product. If you combine the product with ‘active’ products such as AHAs, BHAs, products for acne-prone skin, products with retinol or with prescription retinoids, it is important that you monitor how your skin reacts, and then adapt the usage accordingly.

Can I use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

The percentage of retinol in Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment is comparable to the strength of some prescription retinoids (which must not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding). Because of the relationship between retinol (cosmetic variant of vitamin A) and retinoids, we advise you not to use this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless your doctor has given explicit permission. Although there is no direct evidence that cosmetic retinol can be harmful, we’d prefer to err on the side of caution.
