Retinol is best introduced into a skincare routine gradually, and IMAGE Skincare's new AGELESS+ retinol collection offers a tailored, step-up approach that suits beginner and advanced users alike. In all, there are six hyper-customized formulas in the collection and IMAGE Skincare's proprietary, patent-pending XOSM Technology enhances the performance of retinol alongside encapsulated antioxidants—ectoin, vitamin C, and astaxanthin-rich micro-algae—to help reduce redness and irritation.
While the AGELESS+ Pure Liquid Retinol 0.1% is an oil-serum ideal for those new to retinol, the AGELESS+ Pure Liquid Retinol 0.75% is a high-performance formula better suited to advanced users. The collection's pure liquid retinols launched alongside three retinol complexes with a similar approach for gradually increasing to higher strengths over time. There's a multi-functional formula, a dual-action hydrating mask, and a triple-action treatment for a plumper, smoother, lifted appearance.
