How to use
Apply to the face and neck in the evening before your Dermaceutic cream. Activ Retinol may produce dryness or flakiness of the skin. If this happens stop using the product and apply every 3rd day once the skin has settled. After two weeks apply every 2nd day and move slowly to once daily applications. Dr Alek Nikolic does recommend to start with the Activ Retinol 0.5 and then move on to the Activ Retinol 1.0

A lovely retinol product, it goes on so easily and gets absorbed deeply into my skin. No adverse effects from this product and I can see the results!

I upgraded my retinol strength to 1% with this product. I like the moisturiser-type consistency of this product, it makes it easier to apply to the skin. I experienced no irritation or flakiness on introduction to my skin which was great!

Amazing product. Best Retinol serum I’ve ever used. You just need a small amount, no irritation or redness and the results is excellent.

I was using the 0.5% for a few months and now changed to the 1%. You only need to use a small amount. I’m really enjoying it and I’m sure my fine lines have reduced too!

Using in conjunction with ZO Skin Brightening Program. My skin feels VERY smooth. I’ve been using for three weeks and can’t notice a change in pigmentation yet (I took before photos). I’m only using at night and every 2 or 3rd day.

One of the best retinol products I’ve tried. Even with a high percentage of 1% your skin adjusts quickly & tolerates it well. Abs love it.

Very good on my skin as I am sensitive to retinol.

This is one of the best Retinol products I have used.I had some hyperpigmentation on my left cheek,and this product was effective in fading the pigmentation.In addition to the aforementioned,I also experienced a reduction in fine lines.I only use it at night,not during the day.I will continue to use this product alongside the Dermaceutic C25 cream.

After reading Dr Alek’s article on what strength retinol i need i realised i needed to increase the concentration. after 3 weks of use my skin feels super smooth, well hydrated and most of my fine lines are gone. i can highly reccommend this product for antiageing and keeping the skin looking healthy.
