21 Mar Now up to date: Retinol treatment at home – step by step to rejuvenated skin
Retinol is the best-researched anti-aging active ingredient of all. Studies have shown that with daily use of retinol, wrinkles disappear and pores are refined after just four weeks. The powerful active ingredient is also able to regulate hyperpigmentation and lighten pigmentation spots in the long term. We explain how to do a retinol treatment at home here.
When used regularly, retinol can visibly rejuvenate the skin. However, a successful cure requires a little patience. However, depending on the skin type, the first results may be visible after just 4 weeks. Further improvement occurs steadily in the following weeks after consistent use. And this is how it works:
The gentle retinol cure
With ZO® Wrinkle + Texture Repair 0.5% Retinol
This emulsion combines plant stem cells, antioxidants and biometric proteins. Wrinkle + Texture Repair combats the signs of skin aging and stabilizes and firms the tissue. Coarse-pored skin and wrinkles are refined and scars are reduced. The result is an improved skin structure and a clear complexion.
Application:
Apply to cleansed skin in the evening.
Week 1: 2-3 weekly
Week 2: 3-4 weekly
from week 3: 5-7 times a week
The vitamin C serum can be perfectly integrated into the gentle retinol treatment. Vitamin C helps the retinol to develop even better in the skin, as it is additionally protected from oxidation.

This product helps to create healthy new skin cells for improved texture and radiant, healthy skin. Ossential Advanced Radical Night Repair is formulated with 1% retinol – encapsulated in a patented, slow-release delivery system. Due to the high concentration of retinol, we strongly recommend a personal consultation when using the product for the first time.

Apply to cleansed skin in the evening.
Week 1: 2x per week
Week 2: 3 times a week

At the beginning of a retinol treatment, the skin will usually flake a little or be irritated. These side effects are normal. If this initial irritation persists for longer than 3 to 4 days, you should use a lower concentration of retinol or stop using the product altogether.
