Description
Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum is a high-strength retinoid serum that targets four visible signs of ageing: wrinkles, enlarged-looking pores, uneven texture and uneven tone. It combines retinol with hydroxypinacolone retinoate in a 3.5% retinoid complex, balanced with squalane.
The formula is designed to deliver the benefits of a retinoid while helping to maintain the skin’s barrier, with ceramide NP and beta-glucan for comfort. It is gentle enough for nightly use by most skin types once skin has adjusted.
Key benefits
- Helps reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles
