33. Skin Science - NEW Retinol Clearing Oil

A brand new powerhouse formula that is the first to combine two of the industry's gold standard ingredients in one product. Retinol Clearing Oil is an overnight treatment that clears breakouts and visible signs of premature skin ageing.

Many client's are struggling with skin breakouts during this unprecedented time. It is an

unusual and stressful time in our lives, and stress is a trigger that increases stress hormones and directly produces more oil in the skin. Change in hormones and an increase in sebaceous activity combined with our cell turnover slowing down from age is a recipe for breakouts on the skin.

This potent formula improves skin clarity and vibrance overnight while a skin-soothing combination of Rosehip oil, Jojoba oil and Argan oil helps to reduce visible signs of premature ageing and clear breakouts. It's a dry oil that combines Salicylic Acid and Retinol, two gold standard ingredients in a powerhouse formula.

Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid that loves oil and will unclog the pores by dissolving the debris in the follicle and help decongest it. It also enhances the skin's natural exfoliation process.

Retinol comes from the retinoid family which is part of the Vitamin A group and these come in many forms in the beauty industry, such as acne prescription, cosmetic and skincare. The retinol used in this product is gentle enough to use daily and doesn't need an introduction because it is used in a retinoid acid. Making it more quickly absorbed into the skin so that it can be utilised faster. Retinol Clearing Oil uses a proplonate retinol to give the skin a time released delivery and make it sustainable and better tolerated by many different skin types.

Retinol Clearing Oil is a high performance oil that treats marks left behind after breakouts that can accelerate the signs of ageing and it treats the breakout itself. Phytolipids such as Argan oil, Jojoba oil and Rosehip seed oil create a lightweight replenishing oil with a dry oil feel that repairs the barrier function whilst treating the skin overnight. Unlike other Dermalogica retinol products, it contains salicylic acid 2% combined with a mild retinol formula so it can be used every night.
