Retinol Treatment for Sensitive Skin By PCA Skin

PCA Skin Retinol Treatment for Sensitive Skin is a gentle night retinol for people whose skin reacts easily but who still want help with fine lines, dullness and uneven tone. Retinol is paired with niacinamide and bisabolol to keep the experience comfortable, making it a sensible first retinol or a step down for skin that finds stronger formulas too much. Once your skin is comfortable, the 0.5% PCA Skin Intensive treatments (Age Refining, Clarity, Brightening) are the next step up.

Key Benefits

• A gentler way to start or continue retinol use

Key Ingredients

• Retinol: a vitamin A derivative that helps visibly renew the skin's surface
