Vivier Retinol 0.5% – Advanced Retinol for Progressive Skin Renewal
Vivier Retinol 0.5% is a pharmaceutical-grade retinol formulation designed for patients ready to take the next step in vitamin A therapy. It delivers enhanced results in skin texture, tone, and overall skin quality, while maintaining a controlled, well-tolerated profile.
Not all retinol products are created equal. Vivier uses USP-grade (United States Pharmacopeia) retinol, ensuring high purity, consistency, and reliability. Combined with Vivier’s proprietary delivery system, this formulation supports optimized absorption and stability, allowing for a controlled release of retinol into the skin. This helps maximize results while minimizing unnecessary irritation.
Retinol 0.5% supports cellular turnover and collagen stimulation, improving the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and dullness, while promoting smoother, more refined skin over time.
This strength is ideal for:
Patients who have previously used prescription retinoids but found them too irritating, and are looking for a more controlled, tolerable alternative
Patients who are using Retinol 0.3% nightly without irritation and are ready to progress
Patients who are new to retinol but do not have sensitive skin, and are seeking a more results-driven starting point
With consistent use, the goal is to build up to nightly application, as tolerated, to achieve optimal results.
Retinol should be used only on intact, non-irritated skin and is not recommended immediately following aesthetic treatments until the skin barrier has fully recovered.
Use & Application:
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin in the evening, starting 2–3 times per week and gradually increasing to nightly use as tolerated. Follow with moisturizer.
Important Use Considerations:
Begin gradually to minimize dryness or irritation
Mild redness, dryness, or flaking may occur during the adjustment phase
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential while using retinol
Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
