How it works

Encourages the skin to renew itself and helps promote collagen and elastin production, whilst simultaneously conditioning to reveal a smooth, even complexion.

How to use

Use in the PM, after cleansing and The Amplifier, up to 3 times a week. Massage 2-3 pumps onto the face, avoiding the eye area. Allow to absorb before moving on to the next step in your routine. 

Initially, we recommend using Retinoid 2 twice a week, gradually building up to 3-4 times per week. If you are currently using an exfoliating acid product, we would recommend you use this and the retinoid in alternate routines.

CAROLINE SAYS

This is an intermediate strength, so perfect for you if you have already tried and love retinoids.

This is my maintenance retinoid. Your skin will look brighter, smoother and more even, while fine lines, breakouts and dark spots will appear reduced.

  • "Love this product. It works great.

    I can see a difference in my face. The consistency is great and the formula works wonders. This is the best retinoid I have ever used. I can’t rave enough about it. Everyone needs it!"

  • "This product is a game changer.

    My skin is smoother, clearer and brighter. I am 58 years old and no other product has ever given me such a dramatic improvement. Love love love. I don't use this everyday as it would be too drying. I don't bother with foundation much at all anymore. Just a bit of under eye coverage and I'm happy to let my skin shine!!"

  • "New face magic!

    Waking up the morning after using this makes me think of that scene in Forest Gump, where he says his lieutenant has new legs. It's like getting a new face!! It's creamy and hydrating whilst doing some sort of magic."

  • "Glowy!

    Texture of skin is much more even and brighter since using this. I get so many compliments about my glow."

  • "Love the effect on my skin.

    Keeps it smooth and clear helping with skin renewal. Great at my age."

FAQs

You’ve got questions,
We’ve got answers.

What ACTIVE % of retinoid is in Retinoid 1/Retinoid 2?

Skin Rocks Retinoid 1 contains 0.2% hydroxypinacolone retinoate. Skin Rocks Retinoid 2 contains 0.5% hydroxypinacolone retinoate & 0.05% retinal, meaning that the product contains a total of 0.55% active retinoid.

Which Skin Rocks Retinoid is stronger? How are the Skin Rocks Retinoids different to each other?

Skin Rocks Retinoid 1 & 2 differ due to the ACTIVE vitamin A system used. Retinoid 1 contains hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR), whereas Retinoid 2 contains HPR & retinal. Skin Rocks Retinoid 2 is currently the strongest variant we offer.

Which Skin Rocks Retinoid should I buy?

The Skin Rocks Retinoids have been developed as a series – you choose the most appropriate depending on your previous exposure to vitamin A products.

Skin Rocks Retinoid 1 has been formulated for beginners, or those with concerns around sensitivity: those who have not used retinoids previously/have used low-strength retinoids irregularly in the past.

Skin Rocks Retinoid 2 has been formulated for intermediate users: those who have regularly used mid/high strength retinoids in the past, with no issues with sensitivity. If a user has been using high strength retinoids/actives previously, Retinoid 2 is sufficient for maintaining results. Retinoid 1 is suitable for those with sensitive skin, while Retinoid 2 is not. You should not use a retinoid if you have experienced previous vitamin A irritation. You should always patch test before using a new product.

How do I know when to move on to a higher strength Retinoid?

Please wait at least 4 weeks for your skin to acclimatise to any product. We recommend using our retinoid products for at least 12 weeks before moving onto a higher strength.

Are there any shipping restrictions for Retinoids?

Yes, we cannot ship our Retinoids to Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE.
