Retinoids for advanced users — deep renewal and rejuvenation
Riq Retinol Radiance 1% is a serum designed for skin that is ready for the highest concentration of retinol. This formula is for those seeking comprehensive anti-aging care — one that not only smooths the surface but also initiates the process of deep cellular renewal. In one bottle, it combines the power of pure retinol with the wisdom of modern DermaQuest cosmeceutical technology.
The effect? The skin becomes smoother, firmer, and visibly radiant — with noticeable improvement in skin tone, reduction of wrinkles and discolorations. This care restores a youthful appearance and fresh, healthy luminescence to the complexion.
The power of retinol, tamed by technology
Retinol at a concentration of 1% is one of the strongest anti-aging ingredients available in home care. It accelerates cellular renewal, improves skin texture, and systematically reduces the visibility of wrinkles and discolorations. To ensure this power works for the skin — not against it — DermaQuest has encapsulated retinol in a microencapsulated delivery system.
This allows the ingredient to be released gradually and evenly into the skin. This solution minimizes the risk of irritation typical of high concentrations of retinol and ensures that the serum's action is consistent rather than abrupt. Retinol is supported by peptides and plant stem cells, which together create a comprehensive response to signs of aging.
Three pillars of the formula
Evening ritual — introduce gradually
Apply the serum in the evening to cleansed and dry skin of the face, neck, and décolletage. Apply a small amount, gently massaging and avoiding the eye and lip areas. Due to the high concentration of retinol, introduce the product into your routine gradually:
- First 2 weeks — use the serum every third evening.
- Next 2 weeks — use every other evening.
- Then — use every evening if the skin tolerates the product well.
During the retinol treatment, avoid sun exposure and use a high SPF sunscreen daily. Do not combine the product with other strong active ingredients, such as AHA/BHA acids, to minimize the risk of irritation.
Mature skin and with discolorations
Riq Retinol Radiance 1% has been developed for comprehensive care of mature skin and skin with pigmentation issues. It is a proposition for those who are already familiar with the effects of retinol and want to transition to its advanced, high concentration — consciously, with sensitivity, and according to the introduction protocol.
- Mature skin with visible signs of aging
- Skin with discolorations and uneven tone
- Advanced users of retinoids
The place of serum in evening care
Retinol likes order. In the evening, after thorough cleansing, allow the skin to dry and only then apply a thin layer of serum. This step sets the rhythm for the entire treatment — so it is worth making it a conscious, repeatable ritual, not an accidental addition.
During the day, the partner of retinol is a high SPF sunscreen — it protects the renewal effects and secures the skin sensitized by the treatment. Avoid combining the serum with AHA/BHA acids at the same time; if you use them in your routine, space them out to avoid accumulating irritation.
FAQ
Is this serum suitable for beginners with retinol?
This is a formula with a high, 1% concentration of retinol — from the Retinol & Vitamin A line described as retinoids for advanced users. If you are just starting your journey with retinol, introduce the product particularly carefully, starting with using it every third evening.
Why use it only in the evening?
Retinol makes the skin sensitive to the sun, which is why the serum is applied only in the evening, on cleansed and dry skin. During the day, be sure to use a high SPF sunscreen and limit sun exposure.
Can I combine it with acids?
To minimize the risk of irritation, avoid using the serum simultaneously with other strong active ingredients, such as AHA/BHA acids.
When will I see results?
Retinol works systematically. Regular use leads to noticeable improvement in firmness, elasticity, and skin tone, reduction of wrinkles and discolorations — the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant.
