Safety information
When using this product, you may experience mild redness, peeling, or skin irritation. These are normal, temporary indications the product is working. If irritation occurs, limit use to every other night, or as tolerated. When skin has adjusted, revert to daily use. Daily use of a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher is highly recommended. Avoid getting into eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.
Patch test on a small area 24 hours before first use. Stop using and seek advice if irritation, redness or swelling persists.
Contains vitamin A (retinol). Do not use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding unless your GP or midwife has said it is safe. Use SPF daily, and stop use a week before waxing or a peel.
If you have a skin condition or take prescribed medication, ask our team at your collection appointment.
What Retinol 0.5 does
Obagi Retinol 0.5 is a gentle, cream-based retinol and the best starting point for anyone new to vitamin A. It suits all skin types and is ideal for early signs of ageing, dullness or uneven texture.
This Obagi retinol cream uses entrapped retinol that releases gradually, encouraging skin turnover while keeping irritation low. Used regularly at night, it helps resurface the skin and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, fresher complexion. Once your skin is comfortable, you can step up to Retinol 1.0. Some dryness is normal at first, so start slowly and always apply SPF the next morning.
Key benefits
- Gentle introduction to retinol
- Smooths fine lines and texture
- Slow-release delivery for less irritation
- Ideal before stepping up to 1.0
How to use Retinol 0.5
Apply one pump or a pearl-sized amount to the face once a day in the evening and massage until absorbed. Use SPF the next morning.
