Product Summary

"REVOLUTION SKINCARE - 1% Retinol Super Intense Serum" is effective for: Evens skin tone, Anti-aging, Exfoliation and Anti-blemish

This product could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

this product contains an effective form of Retinoids (vitamin A): retinol 1.30% (declared). Retinoids are potent multitasking actives. They work to improve and prevent early signs of aging, reduce hyperpigmentation (age spots and post-acne marks), and prevent inflamed blemishes and clogged pores. The downside of Retinoids is that they can be irritating. If you are not already using a Retinoid in your routine, it is best to start slowly and apply the Retinoid product only a few times per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase the frequency to daily.
Salicylic acid (0.35% - 0.85%). This is an oil-soluble exfoliating acid. Because of this property, it can work inside pores and help reduce the congestion. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and is used to treat acne. Because it is a quite strong exfoliator, be careful with using this product too often: it could result in over-exfoliation.

Price

The product retails for 14.70CA$ in Canada, from 8.40£ up to 12.99£ in the United Kingdom and for 15.00$ in the United States.

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains retinol.
