Retinol is an effective anti-ageing ingredient that encourages fresh, new cells to the skin's surface, visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and dark spots. The Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum is formulated with a daily strength of pure retinol to help target the signs of ageing while ensuring minimal discomfort. This makes this daily retinol serum Kiehl's best retinol for beginners and those with sensitive skin. If you are new to retinol, find out everything you need to know in our retinol for beginner guide.
What serum should go before retinol serum?
The best serum ingredient to layer directly under retinol serum is hyaluronic acid. This ingredient will help create a barrier between retinol and your skin which can help minimise any skin discomfort that may occur from retinol's potency. We recommend applying the Hydro-Plumping Serum Concentrate which is formulated with hyaluronic acid before using retinol serum. For more tips on layering retinol, read our guide, 'How to layer retinol serum'.
How should you use retinol serum?
The Kiehl's Micro-Dose Skin-Renewing Retinol Serum can be used both morning and night, after cleansing. Once skin tolerance to retinol is built, we recommend using Kiehl's Pure Retinol Night Serum in your nighttime skin routine to help visibly reduce the signs of ageing with maximum efficacy.
Can I use retinol and vitamin C serum together?
Although retinol and vitamin C cannot be layered directly onto each other, these two ingredients make an efficacious duo when used separately in your morning and nighttime routine. We recommend using a vitamin C serum like the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot solution in the morning (always followed by SPF), to help promote an even skin tone. At night, apply Kiehl's daily retinol serum to help visibly reduce fine lines. When used together, you can help reduce the early signs of ageing and achieve glass-like skin.
What is the difference between Kiehl's Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum & the Retinol Fast Release Wrinkle-Reducing Night Serum?
Both of these facial serums provide anti-ageing benefits and help to smooth and refine your skin. However, the main difference between these products is their formulas. The Kiehl's Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum is formulated with retinol, ceramides and peptides, to promote surface skin turnover while strengthening your skin moisture barrier to better receive retinol's benefits. Therefore, this retinol serum is an effective daily retinol serum for sensitive skin and retinol beginners. The Kiehl's Retinol Fast Release Wrinkle-Reducing Night Serum uses Kiehl's highest concentration of pure retinol to help achieve maximum efficacy. We recommend introducing this serum slowly into your routine and only using the product at night.
