Product Details

Visibly smooth fine lines, even tone, and fade dark spots with this gentle 0.5% retinol treatment. Dermatologist-developed with our signature antioxidant hinokitiol, it delivers visible results with minimal irritation. Each sample is paired with our best-selling Daily Moisturizing Cream to replenish moisture and support the skin barrier.

Key ingredients

  • Retinol - 0.5%
    Helps reduce the look of hyperpigmentation, pore size, and fine lines

  • Hinokitiol
    Hinokitiol is Riversol’s signature antioxidant, derived from the Pacific red cedar. Riversol founder and award-winning dermatologist Dr. Jason Rivers was first introduced to its potential during his time teaching at UBC, and made it the foundation of Riversol formulas. Known for its antioxidant properties, hinokitiol helps improve skin clarity, brighten the look of dark spots and support a more even-looking complexion.

  • Booster Complex
    A combination of vitamin C, which helps retinol penetrate more deeply, and a gel delivery system that keeps the active ingredients next to the skin throughout the day.

  • Vitamin C
    The Riversol vitamin C (Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate) is 10x more photostable than traditional vitamin C. This means lasting antioxidant protection to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

  • Shea Butter
    Shea butter is a gentle and effective moisturizer. It contains oleic acid, a saturated fatty acid which is highly compatible with the sebum naturally produced by human skin. This makes Shea Butter readily absorbed and is said to help the absorption of other active ingredients.

FAQ

 

Retinol Treatment Travel Pack FAQ

What is hinokitiol?

Hinokitiol is our signature antioxidant, found naturally in the Pacific Red Cedar and studied for decades. It's a natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with other skin-revitalizing properties, and in our formulas it helps to even skin tone, reduce the look of sun damage and correct dark spots.

Is Riversol hypoallergenic?

Our skincare products are produced and tested to the highest standards of tolerance on sensitive skin. They are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, colorant-free and cruelty free.

Is it made for sensitive skin?

Yes. Riversol was founded by Vancouver dermatologist Dr. Jason Rivers for sensitive skin, and our formulas have no added fragrance, including masking scents. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation. Each formula is reviewed and approved by Dr. Rivers.

Which serum is right for me?

Choose by your main concern. Anti-Aging Serum has 10 times the stabilized vitamin C (aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate) of our Anti-Redness Serum, for fine lines and uneven tone. Anti-Redness Serum has a lower level of vitamin C, formulated for visible redness. Corrector V2 helps fade the look of dark spots, and Hydrating Serum adds hydration and layers with all three.

Can I use retinol and the Glycolic Peel on the same night?

No. Use the Glycolic Peel on a non-retinol evening, up to twice a week, and go back to Retinol Treatment or the Neck Cream the next evening. Alternating this way lets you have both: the peel's exfoliation and retinol's smoothing, without asking too much of your skin in one night.
