Glossier’s New Pro-Retinol Is The Perfect Addition To Your Skincare Routine

If you’ve been hesitant to commit to a retinoid, look no further.

Figuring out what types of products to use for your skin can be a longgg process. So it's totally understandable why you might be skeptical when adding new steps to your beauty routine. But if you've been on the hunt for something that'll take your complexion to a whole new level, then it's time to add in a retinoid. And not just any retinoid — Glossier's new Universal Pro-Retinol.

Whether you’ve never tried retinoids before or you've been using them for years, you're going to want to try this magic in a bottle. It's beneficial for all skin types and does pretty much everything! It helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and texture, pores, fine lines, blemishes, and discoloration.

Clinical studies found that after four weeks of use, 100% of testers said their skin felt and looked renewed, smoother, softer, more radiant, and visibly transformed. WOW! 

The creamy texture is formulated with a plant-based power complex of 0.5% Retinyl Sunflowerate and Stevia Leaf Extract. The formula also contains soothing Mondo Grass Root Extract.

It's also vegan, cruelty-free, dermatologist-tested, and formulated without fragrance.

Promising review: "Within a few weeks of using this product a couple nights a week, my skin is noticeably smoother. The texture of the product is supersoft, which I love since many retinols can feel a bit harsh on the skin. Soothing to apply. Rapid results." —Bella

The non-irritating formula is gentle and helps to visibly improve your complexion, but with a fraction of the typical drawbacks, such as peeling and dryness.

Promising review: "I have intermittently used retinol in my skincare routine — usually ones that are pretty strong or at least strong enough for me to get that early-use retinol peeling. My biggest problem with keeping retinol in my routine has been that I am just not very consistent with it! With most retinols, this means I'm constantly stuck in the weird peeling phase and that's just not a great look. The fact that the Universal Pro-Retinol is much milder and more hydrating means it works much better for my routine (more like random skincare indulgence night) than other ones I've tried. After a couple weeks of use, it has not caused any peeling or irritation, and it's definitely added a glow to my skin! Overall, if you love skincare but are a little bit lazy about it, this is the retinol for you. If you've never used retinol before, I think this might be for you, too! It definitely seems like a great beginning point." —Sarah

Promising review: "So I’ve never used this kind of skincare product before. (I’d actually been afraid of it; I thought it would be irreversibly rough on my skin.) I received it as a preview gift and decided to give it a go! After about a week of using this, I found that my enlarged pores tightened up considerably. It also helped wake up my sometimes dull skin and gave it a glow." —Sammy T.

And, of course, the sleek packaging in Glossier's signature pink color is perfect for taking with you on the go.
