Vivier Retinol 1% – Advanced Anti-Aging and Skin Renewal Cream

Vivier Retinol 1.0% is the strongest formula in Vivier's slow-release retinol range, built for experienced retinol users who want to address the look of deeper lines, wrinkles, discolouration and blemishes. Microencapsulated pure retinol is released gradually, aiming for strong results with less of the redness and irritation common to high-strength retinol. It is the step after Retinol 0.5%.

Key Benefits

• Visibly reduces the look of deep lines and wrinkles
• Helps improve the look of uneven tone and discolouration
• Refines texture and helps reduce the look of blemishes
• Slow-release delivery designed to limit irritation
• Can be used to prepare skin ahead of in-clinic treatments, as advised by your provider

Key Ingredients

• Retinol 1.0% – microencapsulated, slow-release
• Squalane – lightweight emollient to help skin feel comfortable
• Vitamin C and vitamin E – antioxidant support

Strength Comparison

• Retinol 0.3%: first-time users, sensitive skin, early lines
• Retinol 0.5%: next step after 0.3%; visible lines and texture
• Retinol 1.0%: experienced users; deeper lines and discolouration

How to Use

1. PM only: cleanse and dry skin.
2. Apply a pea-sized amount to the face, neck and décolletage.
3. Start 1–2 evenings per week to limit initial dryness or redness, then increase gradually toward nightly as skin tolerates.
4. Follow with a barrier-supporting moisturizer such as Vivier Derma-V. On off-nights, Vivier Ultimage adds hydration.
5. Apply SPF 30 or higher every morning – retinol increases sun sensitivity.

Who It's For

Experienced retinol users, people who have used Retinol 0.5% without irritation, and those with advanced visible signs of aging, discolouration or acne-prone skin. Not the right first retinol – start with 0.3% if you are new.
