It’s true; I do like to “push the envelope”.  For me, “pretty good” is not good enough.  That’s why in my new Radical Night Repair Plus, I amp’ed up the formula to put in 1% retinol.  That may not sound like much, but to your skin–it’s a whole lot!  Here’s why:

Retinol is the most effective topical ingredient for anti-aging—and the only one that is clinically proven. But for it to be effective, it has to reach a concentration in the skin of at least .60-.70%.

Typical drug-store retinol products (even the best selling one!) only contain about .15%—not enough to make a meaningful difference. No matter how much you put on—you can put it on all night—you’ll never reach .60%.

With a 1% concentration—like Ossential® Radical Night Repair Plus, you can activate and stimulate your skin cells so that they begin producing collagen and accelerate cellular turnover.

Scientists agree that an even higher concentration (for ex., 2% or 3% or 4%) would be even more effective, however the product would be unacceptably irritating. 1% is the ideal “cap rate”—the greatest concentration of retinol, with little or no irritation.

Please use Radical Night Repair gradually and apply according to label directions.  Do not use in combination with other nighttime skincare products that may compete with it or induce irritation.
