Nighttime Retinol Serums

Trader Joe’s Retinol Night Serum Revitalizes Skin Overnight

There's nothing better than waking up with fresh looking skin and Trader Joe's new Retinol Night Serum helps you do exactly that.

The new Retinol Night Serum is the latest addition to Trader Joe's very limited lineup of skincare products. The new product is a dermatologist-formulated serum that works as an exfoliant, sloughing off dead skin cells while you sleep. While Retinol (vitamin A) is the star ingredient, the product is also made up of powerful ingredients such as sodium hyaluronate, vitamins C & E, salicylic acid, and, skin-soothing Baobab Seed Oil.

As far as using the new serum, Trader Joe's recommends starting by slowly incorporating it into your skincare routine one or two nights a week. As the brand explains, "Whether you’re a retinol rookie or a seasoned pro, we think you’ll be over the moon for this midnight miracle."
