Maximize Results. Maximize Comfort.
Mary Kay has designed an eight-week retinization protocol to help minimize potential discomfort from dryness, flakiness and temporary redness that can occur when you first start using pure retinol at a 0.5% concentration. The unique usage protocol was developed in association with dermatologists to help you experience the amazing benefits of retinol, regardless of age, ethnicity or skin type.
