Sharon Lee's View

This serum has three ingredients proven to minimize the effects of aging -- 0.1% retinol, 1 ppm retinal and 5,000 ppm backuchiol, a plant-based form of retinol. It also includes centella asiatica extract, panthenol and vitamin E to counteract retinol's harsh effects. It absorbs quickly, leaves a nice finish and helps skin look visibly smoother and brighter. It is created with patented elastic-liposome technology to deliver active ingredients deep into skin.   

How to Use

For 1-2 weeks - Use once a week, after cleansing, toning/essence steps. Apply a pea sized amount to face - dividing between forehead, cheeks and chin. Pat in to aid absorption. To minimize irritation, use a hydrating toner beforehand and an emollient-rich moisturizer afterwards. Week 3 - Increase usage only if product has been well tolerated. For sensitive skin, only apply every other night. It is best to use retinol products at night, as increases skin's sensitivity to sunlight. If using in the day, apply sunscreen.
