Product Details

Cosmedix Refine Plus Retinol Serum is a potent, luxurious anti-aging treatment designed for advanced users, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. Formulated with an 8% AGP Complex, a microencapsulated retinol, alongside Retinol and Retinyl Acetate, it accelerates skin renewal to reduce imperfections, acne scars, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. Sodium Hyaluronate and Sodium PCA provide lightweight hydration, while antioxidants like Sunflower Seed Oil protect against environmental stressors that damage collagen and elastin.

Ideal for oily, congested, or acne-prone skin, this serum builds on the benefits of Cosmedix Refine, offering enhanced firming and smoothing results. Pair with Cosmedix Purity Clean Exfoliating Cleanser or Shineless Oil-Free Moisturizer for a complete clarifying routine. Consult a Skin Therapist before use, especially if pregnant or lactating, due to retinol content.
