Who benefits? Anyone with normal, dry or combination skin who wants to work on fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness and uneven tone with a single nightly treatment. Not for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

How to Use

Step 1: In the evening, cleanse (and tone, if you use a toner) and pat skin dry.
Step 2: Apply a pea-sized amount evenly over the face, avoiding the eyes and lips.
Step 3: Follow with an appropriate moisturizer.
Step 4: Start twice a week, then increase to every other night and then nightly as tolerated.
Step 5: In the morning, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Caution: For external use only. Retinol increases sun sensitivity; use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and limit sun exposure. Mild redness, dryness or flaking may occur at first. Not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation persists.

Pure vitamin A at 0.5% encourages faster cell turnover to soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles and promote a clearer, more even complexion. PCA Skin uses a stabilized retinol and its OmniSome delivery system to limit irritation while extending release into the skin.

Strengthening Peptide

Myristoyl Nonapeptide-3

Tone & Hydration

Niacinamide

Vitamin B3 hydrates the skin and helps reduce the yellowing and redness associated with aging. Panthenol, vitamin E and tocotrienols add conditioning and antioxidant support.

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before choosing, using, and caring for your skin with Purity products.

Explore Help Center

How is this different from PCA Skin's other retinol treatments?

Each PCA Skin retinol treatment is built around pure retinol, and the supporting ingredients set the focus. Intensive Age Refining adds a firming peptide, orange stem cell extract and niacinamide for lines, wrinkles and firmness. Intensive Brightening is aimed at discoloration, Intensive Clarity adds salicylic acid for breakout-prone skin, and Retinol Treatment for Sensitive Skin is the gentlest option for reactive skin.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Retinol isn't recommended while pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding. Check with your physician, and ask us about retinol-free options for that season.

Where does it go in my routine?

Evening only. Cleanse (and tone, if you use a toner), apply a pea-sized amount, then follow with moisturizer. In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, since retinol makes skin more sensitive to the sun.

How often should I use it?

Start twice a week. As your skin adjusts, increase to every other night, then to nightly as tolerated. Some dryness, flaking or redness in the first few weeks is common; scale back to fewer nights if it's uncomfortable.

How soon will I see results?

Skin often looks smoother within the first several weeks, while lines, firmness and tone improve gradually with consistent use. Give it about three months of steady use before judging the full effect.

How long does a tube last?

Used as directed, a pea-sized amount for the face each evening, a 1 oz tube typically lasts about three months, and longer while you're still building up to nightly use.
