Kiehl’s Micro-Dose Anti-Aging Retinol Serum with Ceramides and Peptide
For a micro-dose formula that’s appropriate for sensitive skin types, opt for this formula from Kiehl’s. It works to even skin tone and texture with little irritation and discomfort. It’s also completely paraben and fragrance free.
SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0
Reach for this high-concentration formula to help improve signs of aging, minimize the look of breakouts and help unclog pores. It’s ideal for most skin types, but due to its potency, it’s important to check with your dermatologist before use. To use, the brand recommends applying this product once or twice a week, then slowly increasing frequency to every other night. Sensitive skin types are likely better suited to a retinol product with a lower concentration to build up your tolerance, such as the SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5.
