Obagi Retinol 0.5 28g

A gentle-strength evening retinol cream that helps skin look smoother and more even over time.

Key benefits

• Retinol-based evening treatment to help the look of fine lines and uneven texture
• Contains vitamins C and E and hyaluronic acid to help condition the skin
• Airless pump dispenses a controlled amount
• The lower strength of the two Obagi retinol creams, so a sensible starting point

Who it is for

Adults new to retinol or with skin that needs a gradual introduction. Obagi lists normal to oily, normal to dry and combination skin. Speak to your GP or midwife before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How to use

Patch test first. Use in the evening only: massage one pump (a pearl-sized amount) over the face until absorbed. Introduce gradually, starting every other night and building up as your skin tolerates. Mild redness or peeling can occur; reduce use if skin feels irritated. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day. Avoid the eyes and rinse with water if contact occurs. For external use only.

Why Dr Mo recommends it

A well-established retinol step for building a night routine slowly and sensibly, with the right sun protection by day.
