Dermaquest RiQ Retinol 1% 1oz / 30ml

Product Description:

A high-potency, intelligent retinoid serum designed to visibly transform skin tone, texture, and clarity.

DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% is a high-performance retinoid treatment formulated with an advanced blend of four different retinoid forms to deliver powerful corrective benefits while helping minimize irritation. This next-generation serum targets multiple visible signs of aging and skin damage, including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, discoloration, acne blemishes, and rough texture.

Using a microencapsulated delivery system and time-released technology, the formula gradually releases active ingredients into the skin for maximum effectiveness with minimal downtime. This controlled delivery helps improve skin renewal while maintaining comfort, making it suitable even for those transitioning into higher-strength retinoid treatments.

The formula is further enhanced with Madonna Lily Plant Stem Cells to brighten skin and support collagen production, while tyrosinase inhibitors such as tranexamic acid help visibly reduce hyperpigmentation and discoloration. Hydrating and soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, squalane, and botanical extracts support the skin barrier while improving overall radiance and smoothness.

The result is clearer, smoother, firmer-looking skin with a more even tone and refined texture.
