The Institut Esthederm Intensive Retinol+ Oil Serum is designed for adult women seeking to combat skin aging. Its key benefit is refining skin texture and reducing the appearance of wrinkles through a high-concentration pure retinol formula. A potential caveat is the need for gradual introduction to retinol for sensitive skin.

The main active ingredient is pure retinol, a derivative of Vitamin A, known for its anti-aging properties.
It is recommended to start by using it 2-3 times a week on clean skin. As your skin builds tolerance, you can gradually increase the frequency to nightly use.
Yes, you can. However, it's best to avoid using it with other strong exfoliants (like AHAs/BHAs) or vitamin C in the same routine, especially when starting. Always use a broad-spectrum SPF during the day.
While formulated to improve tolerance, retinol can be potent. Sensitive skin types should introduce it slowly and monitor for any reaction. Using it less frequently and ensuring adequate hydration can help.
The product contains a high concentration of pure retinol, with added active ingredients to enhance its effectiveness and skin tolerance.
With a small amount needed per application (typically a few drops), a 15 ml bottle should last for several months, depending on the frequency of use.
This serum is best applied at night to clean, dry skin before your moisturizer. This allows the retinol to work effectively while you sleep and minimizes sun sensitivity during the day.
Reduce the frequency of application. Ensure you are not using other harsh exfoliants simultaneously. Apply a rich moisturizer. Gradually reintroduce the serum as skin tolerance improves.
Ensure skin is clean and completely dry before application. Use only the recommended small amount; too much product can hinder absorption.
Use fewer drops of the serum. Ensure you are gently massaging it in until absorbed. Allow more time for absorption before applying other products.
Ensure consistent nightly application. Retinol takes time to show results; continue use for at least 8-12 weeks. Use sunscreen daily to protect treated skin.
How to Use:
Recommended Use:
Suitable for all skin types, but it is recommended to introduce retinol gradually, especially for sensitive skin. Start with applying 2-3 times a week and increase frequency as tolerated.
Compatibility:
This serum can be incorporated into most skincare routines. However, avoid using it with other highly active ingredients like strong exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) in the same application, especially when first starting. Always follow with sunscreen during the day, as retinol can increase sun sensitivity.
Care:
Store the serum in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to maintain product integrity. The 15 ml capacity is designed for convenient, long-term use.
