What is Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum?
A high-dose wrinkle serum formulated with a 3.5% Retinoid Complex plus squalane to target fine lines, texture, tone, and pores while supporting the skin barrier.
Who is this serum recommended for?
Recommended for all skin types concerned with fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture and tone, and enlarged pores.
What are the key active ingredients?
Key ingredients include A complex of fast-acting Granactive Retinoid®, Retinol, time-released encapsulated Retinol, and a Retinol Booster support a continual release of skin-smoothing actives working at different speeds to address the four signs of skin aging. Concentrated Squalane works with soothing, oat-derived Beta-Glucan to help support recovery for healthier-looking skin.
How do I use this serum?
After cleansing, apply a thin layer over face. Keep out of eyes. Use nightly. If dryness or redness occurs, reduce frequency. Wear an SPF during the day.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

How much should I use?
A little goes a long way-one pump or a pea-sized amount is typically sufficient to cover the face.
Can I layer it with other products?
It layers well with hydrating serums and moisturizers. Introduce new active products slowly and avoid stacking multiple strong actives at once.
When can I expect to notice differences?
User experiences vary; many report improvements in texture, tone and pore appearance, but results depend on individual skin and routine.
