Glossier Universal Pro-Retinol Nightly Retinoid Treatment
A retinoid everyone will love. Whether you're new to retinol or a long-time user, Glossier Universal Pro-Retinol is a formula designed for visible, transformative results without the typical drawbacks of traditional retinoids: no irritation, no dryness, no flaking.
What makes this formula special?
At the heart of the product is 0.5% Retinyl Sunflowerate – an innovative hybrid ingredient combining pure retinol with fatty acids from sunflower seeds. This next-generation retinoid is clinically shown to be less irritating than its predecessors, while maintaining equally high efficacy. It visibly improves the appearance of:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Blemishes and breakouts
• Enlarged pores
• Dark spots
• Uneven skin tone and texture
The formula is complemented by nourishing ingredients that support the retinoid's action:
• Stevia Extract – Derived from the stems and leaves of the stevia plant, it smooths the overall appearance of the skin and acts on fine lines as a naturally derived complement to retinol.
• Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract (Mondo Grass Root Extract) – A plant-based humectant that helps the skin retain moisture, keeping it conditioned and minimizing the irritation often associated with retinoid use.
Clinical Results
In a dermatologist-supervised clinical study, after just 4 weeks of use:
• 100% of users confirmed visible skin transformation
• 100% felt skin smoothing
• 98% observed an improvement in the appearance of imperfections and generally clearer complexion
• 84% confirmed a visible reduction in wrinkles
Why is it worth it?
Developed to be tolerated by all skin types – even sensitive – this nightly treatment combines the power of a retinoid with the comfort of a nourishing cream. It is vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and dermatologically tested, making it a trustworthy element of any evening skincare routine.
Available in a practical 35 ml pump bottle, designed for regular nightly use – gentle enough for those just starting with retinoids, yet effective for experienced users.
For sensitive skin, combine with a moisturizing serum applied before and after application. Always use sunscreen in the morning – retinoids can increase skin's sensitivity to the sun.
