iS CLINICAL's Maximum Strength Retinol Emulsion 1.0 is a potent anti-aging powerhouse, expertly formulated to minimize the common side effects of retinoids such as dryness, irritation, and redness. Unlike traditional retinoids, this advanced emulsion not only smooths fine lines and enhances skin texture but also promotes hydration and supports overall skin health.
The formula combines a highly effective botanical form of retinol with Bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative, offering similar benefits without the harshness. It also features rice bran extract, rosemary extract, and vitamin E—powerful antioxidants that enhance retinol’s efficacy, providing a synergistic boost for radiant, youthful skin.
