Glossier - a Millennial-focused cosmetic brand - just launched its first-ever retinol product.
As Millennials enter their 30s, the brand wanted to grow with its primary customer base by offering products meant for maturing skin. Glossier's new Universal Pro-Retinol is a creamy formula designed to renew the skin overnight. The cream is made using a 0.5 % concentration of a retinol-hybrid called Retyinyl Sunflowerate derived from sunflowers. This derivative is rich in Vitamin A and fatty acids, which help nourish the skin.
Glossier's retinol will help minimize the presence of fine lines, blemishes, uneven texture, and skin tone. Its creamy formula ensures it will moisturize the skin, unlike traditional retinol products. In addition, the product comes in a pump-top bottle which conserves the product and makes the application process mess-free.
