Retinol 0.5%
Vivier Retinol 0.5% is the ideal choice for the treatment of moderate skin concerns.
Our formula uses industry leading Poly-Pore® Technology to encapsulate our high potency pure retinol and gently release it over time to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture, without the irritation and redness often associated with retinol products. Specially formulated with additional powerhouse ingredients Vitamin C & E to maximize your results plus squalane to minimize irritation. Fresh skin is brought to the surface and collagen production is boosted to deliver plumper, smoother, brighter skin.
Retinol 0.5% is ideal for all skin types, maintaining results, and skin that has been pre-conditioned with Retinol 0.3%.

Cleanse and tone your face and apply any lightweight serums before use. Apply a thin layer of Retinol 0.5% to face, neck and decolletage. Follow with your favourite cream or moisturizer, as desired. Daily use of SPF 30 or higher is essential as retinol use naturally makes the skin more sensitive to the sun.
DETAILS
To reduce the chance of initial dryness or redness, we suggest beginning with one application, once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency up to every evening as tolerated by your skin.
We recommend stepping up to Vivier Retinol 1% upon completion of your first tube if daily application is well tolerated and you are seeking advanced results.

Q: Do I need a prescription for Retinol 0.5%?
A: No. Retinol 0.5% is available without a prescription.
Q: What is the precaution when using retinol?
A: Since retinol use makes the skin more sensitive to the sun, proper protection with an SPF 30 or higher is essential. To further reduce the chance of any sun sensitivity, we recommend applying our retinol complexes at night.
Q: Can retinol products be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding?
A: We do not recommend retinol products for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please consult your doctor before use.
Q: How long does it take to see results from retinol use?
A: Not all retinol products are created equal so results can vary significantly by brand. Thanks to our high potency pure retinol, complimentary quality ingredients, and Poly-Pore® slow-release delivery technology, you can expect to see noticeable results with little to no irritation in 2-3 weeks.
Q: Can I use this product after professional treatments?
A: Retinol is known to be a great results booster and can be used to help maintain results from a wide variety of anti-aging and pigmentation protocols such as peels and facials. Due to the wide range of treatments available and uniqueness of each patient’s skin, we always recommend consulting your doctor or esthetician for medical advice post-treatment.

I actually can’t believe how well this works. I’ve never used retinol before and it’s a night and day difference. My skin looks fresh and young every morning. I can’t recommend enough!

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.

I’ve been using it for almost 4 weeks now and literally haven’t noticed a difference at all yet. Hoping I do soon though….but I feel like there isn’t even a ton left in the tube…it’s so small.
