Retinol Level 1 and 2 advanced technology

Level up with the next generation in skin innovation biotechnology. Retinol Level 1 and 2 provide a better choice for a healthier skin lifestyle. These two amazing products offer dramatic skin changes after the first application.

The skin’s activity peaks between the skin hours of 2 AM and 4 AM. The skin is more permeable to accept the benefits of Retinol Level 1 or Level 2. Therefore, an increase in skin microcirculation, microvessel elasticity (improves capillary strength), oxygen delivery, smoothness, and moisture in the epidermal layers of the skin.

Retinol Level 1 and 2 also decreases, minimizes, and reduces DNA damage, glycation, collagenase (an enzyme that contributes to the breakdown of collagen as we get older collagenase increases), and decreases and reduces erythema (redness).

There are three extraordinary Retinol Level 1 and 2 ingredients. These pure science ingredients provide maximum benefits, including cell growth and strong cell communication.

  1. Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, also known as “green tea leaf.” The natural components of green tea originated in 2737 B.C. Green tea is considered a superfood and one of the healthiest teas on the planet. Furthermore, it helps to fight free radicals, like UV damage and pollution. Additionally, it protects the skin on a cellular DNA level.
  2. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, this fairly new probiotic is highly intelligent. It communicates very well with our skin immunity and skin cells by helping with the production of peptides which provide the essential building blocks for cell strength. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate keeps the microbiome in balance while increasing skin tone, and elasticity, providing deep hydration as well as protecting against environmental damage.
  3. Retinyl Linoleate is naturally composed of pro-retinol. Linoleate is derived from safflower oil. It is safe and highly effective. When applied it penetrates the epidermal layers of the skin. As it transitions to the lower layers it converts into retinoic acid. The natural brightening effects are safe for all skin with pigment irregularities.

For optimal nightly exfoliation results, alternate Retinol Level 1 or 2 with the Renewal Serum on nights when retinol is not applied. The Renewal Serum’s 10% lactic acid gently resurfaces the skin’s surface, removing accumulated dead skin cells that can impede retinol absorption. By maintaining continuous nightly exfoliation through this alternating protocol, the skin stays primed and receptive — allowing retinol to penetrate more effectively and deliver stronger corrective results over time.

Retinol | Vitamin A FAQs

1. What is retinol and why is it used in skin care?

Retinol is a vitamin A derivative commonly used in skin care to support cell turnover, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, refine skin texture, and promote a more even skin tone. It works by encouraging healthy skin renewal and supporting collagen function over time.

2. What is the difference between retinol and prescription vitamin A products?

Over-the-counter retinol products are generally formulated to be gentler and more gradual than prescription vitamin A treatments. Prescription options may act faster but are often associated with redness, peeling, irritation, and long-term skin sensitivity. Many people choose advanced retinol alternatives for consistent results with better skin tolerance.

3. How often should retinol be used?

Retinol is typically used at night, starting one to three times per week depending on skin sensitivity. Gradual use allows the skin to adapt, helping minimize irritation while supporting long-term skin renewal and balance.

4. Can retinol be used on sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes, retinol can be used on sensitive or acne-prone skin when introduced slowly and used in controlled amounts. Choosing well-formulated retinol products and spacing applications helps reduce the risk of inflammation while still providing visible skin benefits.

5. Can Retinol Level 1 or 2 be used with other active treatments?

Yes. These retinol systems are designed to integrate into a complete skin care regimen. On non-retinol nights, gentle exfoliation with lactic acid or hydrating and antioxidant serums may be used to support surface renewal and skin balance. Daily use of antioxidants and sunscreen is recommended to protect and maintain results.

    Teresa JORDAN – October 2, 2023

    I love this retinol. I used a physician prescribed retinol for years. This is better. I have been using this for 4 days and have seen much improvement in my lines.

    • Freda Mills – June 28, 2024

      Thank you Teresa! We agree the new retinol is amazing and the results are immediate. It is like no other. We appreciate you sharing your experience.

    I love this product! Skin for Life has done it again.

    I have most of my clients on it. You can definitely see results the first week.

    I’m even using it on a few of my scars.

    Great job!
