DryCombinationand SensitiveFine Lines and Wrinkles and Loss of Firmness and Elasticity

Apply a thin layer to the face at night after cleansing and applying treatments.

Fig. 1 Retinol Night Cream has a hydrating cream base that allows it to be used as a moisturizer, though you can also follow with Ceramide Moisturizer (sold separately) for added hydration.

If you’re new to retinol or have sensitive skin, start by using every other night to build tolerance.

Refill Instructions:

Fig. 1 packages their formulas in glass bottles with refillable cartridges and airless pumps to keep air, light, and bacteria out, preserving the potency of active ingredients.

Routine fit

Integrating Retinol into Your Night Routine

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin in the evening. If you're new to retinol, start by using it every other night and gradually increase frequency as tolerated. You can use it as your sole treatment step before moisturizer, or layer it under another moisturizer like Fig.1's Ceramide Moisturizer for extra hydration.

Why it works

Where it earns the slot and where it does not

The useful question is not whether this product is good in a vacuum. It is whether it makes your routine easier to run or just adds one more bottle with a familiar ingredient on it.

What it actually does well

High retinol concentration (0.6%)
Encapsulated retinol for stability and reduced irritation
Hydrating cream base
Refillable and sustainable packaging
Addresses multiple signs of aging

Where it starts to feel redundant

Requires careful introduction for sensitive skin
Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding
Higher price point

Routine fit

Where it belongs in the stack

Nighttime

This is a night cream designed to work while you sleep. Always apply sunscreen diligently during the day when using retinol products.
