"I am obsessed with the Retinol Night Cream No. 2 - it's the creamiest, most moisturizing retinol and after acclimating to our Retinol No. 1, I easily use this every night without any redness. It's the last thing I put on my face every. single. night!"

"As a dermatologist, I love the Fig.1 Level-Up System. Many patients struggle with retinol side effects from lack of guidance. This system builds tolerance safely through three levels—0.15% for beginners, 0.3% for intermediate users, and 0.6% for advanced users seeking transformative results."
