Good Molecules | 1% Retinol Night Oil
What It Is:
Powered by 1% potent retinol in a base of plum oil, this nourishing treatment goes to work while you sleep to improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, lack of elasticity, and uneven skin tone.
How to Use:
Dispense a few drops onto fingertips and press into skin, focusing on areas of concern. Use up to 3x per week at night. Do not use retinol in combination with exfoliating acids, such as AHAs or BHAs. Wear SPF during the daytime, as retinol can cause heightening sun sensitivity. Avoid contact with eyes.
Editor Feedback:
“This is a great example of accessible skincare performing like a prestige product. The oil format cushions the retinol, allowing skin to wake up looking calm, smooth, and subtly brighter instead of feeling stressed.” —Sarah Eggenberger, senior editor-at-large
Key Ingredients:
High-strength concentration of 1% retinol promotes visible anti-aging benefits and soothing, hydrating plum oil nourishes skin with omega fatty acids and polyphenols.
Expert Insight:
“The plum, rosehip, and jojoba oils really help bring up the best of retinol, soothing and replenishing the skin overnight. The 1% Retinol Night Oil delivers a high retinol punch, so I recommend you start slow, progressively building it up to 3 times a week. And don’t forget your favorite SPF.”—Ivan Souza, Ph.D., director of R&D
