Transform Your Skin with DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1%

When it comes to retinol, not all products are created equal. At SkinAddict, we believe in offering skincare that truly works, and DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% is a prime example. This high-potency, high-iQ serum is formulated with 1.0% retinol, making it a powerful ally in the fight against visible signs of ageing, like fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and rough texture.

Advanced Formulation for Targeted Results
What sets this serum apart is its unique combination of retinol, plant stem cells, and peptides, expertly designed to rejuvenate the skin. The 1% retinol concentration encourages cellular turnover, visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and discolouration, while plant stem cells and peptides work in harmony to support the skinโ€™s natural collagen production and repair process. The result? Smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

Intelligent Delivery for Minimal Irritation
One of the key benefits of DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% is its microencapsulated delivery system. This technology allows the active ingredients to be time-released into the skin, minimising the irritation and downtime often associated with stronger retinol formulas. For those familiar with retinol and ready to take their routine to the next level, this serum offers a potent yet balanced approach to anti-ageing.

Customisable Potency for Tailored Results
Whether you’re a seasoned retinol user or transitioning from a lower concentration, this serum can be customised to suit your skinโ€™s needs. The powerful formula adapts to deliver potent results while keeping irritation at bay, making it ideal for anyone looking to target stubborn signs of ageing without compromising on comfort.

How To Use

How to Use

Introducing retinol into your skincare routine can be transformative, but itโ€™s important to approach its use with care. DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% is a potent, high-concentration retinol serum designed to deliver maximum rejuvenation with minimal irritation, thanks to its microencapsulated delivery system. Whether youโ€™re an experienced retinol user or transitioning from a lower strength, this formula will help you achieve smoother, more radiant skin over time.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Evening Use Only: Apply at night, as retinol increases skinโ€™s sensitivity to sunlight.
  2. Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to prepare the skin.
  3. Apply Retinol: Dispense a pea-sized amount of DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% onto clean, dry skin, focusing on areas of concern.
  4. Wait: Allow the serum to absorb for a minute or two before applying your next product.
  5. Moisturise: Follow with a rich moisturiser to lock in hydration and support the skinโ€™s barrier.
  6. SPF in the Morning: Always use a broad-spectrum SPF during the day while using retinol to protect against sun sensitivity.

For first-time users of this concentration, start with 2โ€“3 times a week and gradually increase usage as your skin builds tolerance.

FAQs

What makes DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% different from other retinol products?

DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% stands out due to its microencapsulated delivery system, which releases retinol slowly over time, reducing the risk of irritation often associated with high-potency retinol. It also features plant stem cells and peptides to further enhance the skinโ€™s ability to rejuvenate and repair itself. This combination makes it a powerful anti-ageing serum that minimises fine lines, wrinkles, discolouration, and rough texture, all while reducing potential side effects like dryness or redness.

Is DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% suitable for sensitive skin?

While this product is a high-potency retinol serum, the microencapsulated formula ensures that it is delivered gradually into the skin, making it gentler than many other 1% retinol products. However, if you have very sensitive skin, we recommend starting with a lower concentration or patch-testing the product on a small area of skin to assess how your skin reacts. It's always best to consult with your skincare professional to tailor the use to your specific skin needs.

Can I use DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% if Iโ€™ve never used retinol before?

DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% is intended for more experienced retinol users. If youโ€™re new to retinol, itโ€™s better to start with a lower concentration, such as DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.2% or 0.3%. As your skin builds tolerance to retinol, you can gradually increase to the 1% formula to achieve more significant anti-ageing results. This progression helps prevent irritation and ensures optimal results.

How long does it take to see results from DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1%?

Retinol requires patience, and noticeable results from DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% typically take several weeks to a few months. In the short term, you may see brighter, smoother skin, but the significant improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, and discolouration may become more apparent after 8โ€“12 weeks of consistent use. Remember, itโ€™s important to continue using the product regularly for sustained benefits, as retinol works best over time.

Can I use DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% every day?

Retinol can be quite potent, so itโ€™s generally recommended to start by applying the product two to three times a week and gradually increasing the frequency as your skin adjusts. Depending on your skin type and tolerance, you may be able to use it nightly. If irritation occurs, reduce the frequency of use. Always pair retinol with a broad-spectrum SPF during the day, as retinol increases skin sensitivity to the sun.

Is it safe to use DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Retinoids, including retinol, are generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks. While topical retinoids may not be absorbed in significant amounts, itโ€™s better to be cautious. If youโ€™re pregnant or nursing, we recommend avoiding products containing retinoids and consulting with your healthcare provider for safer alternatives during this period.

Can I use DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% with other skincare products?

Yes, you can incorporate this serum into your existing routine, but there are a few guidelines to follow. Avoid using other exfoliating products like AHAs, BHAs, or physical exfoliants on the same night as retinol to prevent over-exfoliating the skin. Itโ€™s also best to avoid combining retinol with vitamin C in the same routine. Instead, use vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night. Always finish with a hydrating moisturiser to protect the skinโ€™s barrier.

How should I store DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1%?

Retinol is sensitive to light and air, so itโ€™s essential to store DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 1% in a cool, dark place. Ensure the lid is tightly closed to prevent oxidation, which can diminish its effectiveness over time. Avoid keeping the product in areas exposed to heat or sunlight, such as bathroom counters or windowsills.
