Retinoid for skin

Retinoids are vitamin A derivatives that help accelerate skin’s natural surface cell renewal. They can help smooth the look of uneven texture, reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and support a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

Why your skin needs it

Retinoids including well‑known forms like retinol—are part of the vitamin A family. They support faster cell turnover, helping refine uneven texture and reveal fresher, brighter looking skin. This renewal process helps keep the complexion smoother and more refined over time.

The Clinique expertise
Clinique formulates with retinoid technologies that deliver effective skin‑renewing benefits while maintaining comfort. Our retinoid formulas are carefully balanced with soothing and hydrating ingredients to help minimise irritation and support consistent use.

How Clinique uses retinoids
Clinique combines retinoids with complementary ingredients such as peptides and hyaluronic acid. In Smart Clinical Repair™ Wrinkle Correcting Serum, 1% retinoid helps accelerate surface cell turnover, while peptides support skin’s strength and hyaluronic acid provides plumping hydration.
