Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT DOES RETINOL SERUM DO?
Retinol is an anti-ageing ingredient renowned for its ability to increase skin cell production, which surfaces new cells to skin's outermost layer. This helps to visibly reduce signs of ageing like fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots and dullness.
CAN YOU USE VITAMIN C SERUM AND RETINOL SERUM TOGETHER?
Although vitamin C and retinol cannot be layered directly on top of each other, the two ingredients make a powerful combination to improve skin clarity and protect against visible ageing. We recommend pairing the Kiehl's micro-dose anti-ageing retinol serum with the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution to achieve youthful, glass-like skin. Apply the vitamin c serum in the morning and your retinol face serum at night. Always use SPF in the morning.
CAN YOU USE RETINOL SERUM UNDER THE EYES?
Yes, we recommend applying the Kiehl's Skin-Renewing Micro-Dose Serum under and next to the eyes to help reduce crow's feet. Be careful to avoid contact with the eye and eye lid area.
HOW MANY DROPS OF RETINOL SERUM SHOULD I USE?
We recommend using 2-3 drops of retinol face serum.
HOW MUCH RETINOL IS IN KIEHL'S MICRO-DOSE SKIN-RENEWING DAILY RETINOL SERUM?
Kiehl's Micro-Dose Skin-Renewing Daily Retinol Serum contain a targeted does of between 0.1 to 0.3% of retinol.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FAST RELEASE PURE RETINOL NIGHT SERUM AND THE MICRO-DOSE DAILY RETINOL SERUM?
Both retinol serums provide anti-ageing benefits and are a powerful addition to your skincare routine. The main difference between these face serum is the percentage of retinol they contain. Kiehl's Skin-Renewing Micro-Dose Retinol Serum uses a mico-dose of retinol that allows you to introduce the ingredient to skin, and is the best Kiehl's retinol serum for beginners and those with sensitive skin. The Fast-Release Pure Retinol Night Serum uses Kiehl's highest concentration of retinol yet, helping to visibly reduce the appearence of fine lines and wrinkles quickly by penetrating 15 surface layers of skin.
