Obagi Retinol 1.0 Cream
Obagi Retinol 1.0 Cream is a highly effective slow-release retinol formulation designed to promote skin turnover, helping to even skin tone and minimize signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. This cream is suitable for normal to oily, normal to dry, and combination skin types, providing visible improvements in skin texture with minimal irritation. Clinical studies have shown that retinol can significantly improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Formulated with Bisabolol to minimize irritation, it is packaged to preserve potency, making it suitable for those new to retinol.
