What You’ll See On The Ingredient List
Retinol
Why Your Skin Needs It
If you’re looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and give your skin a youthful radiance, then retinol should be in your routine. This pure form of vitamin A helps slow down your skin’s natural ageing process, as well as rebuild collagen and elastin, two essential structures that help keep your skin smooth and firm. Retinol also accelerates cell turnover, revealing an overall smoother surface and brighter glow.
The Clinique Expertise
Retinol may cause peeling, redness, or dryness in the first weeks of use—a sign that it’s transforming your skin. Clinique Fresh Pressed™ Overnight Booster with Pure Vitamin A (Retinol) combines retinol with a soothing anti-ageing serum to minimise irritation. Also, vitamin A is most powerful when fresh, which is why it’s packaged in an air-tight, light-proof vial that keeps it at peak potency until you’re ready to use it.
What Our Clinique Derm Says
“Retinol is an essential part of any anti-ageing skin care regimen, because it makes your skin look smoother and reduces the look of wrinkles,” says Dr. Emma Wedgeworth, a board-certified dermatologist based in London.
