FAQS
Is IMAGE Skincare AGELESS+ Retinol Repair Crème 0.3% good for retinol beginners? +

Yes - IMAGE lists it for new retinol users and sensitive skin types. The 0.3% retinol complex is the brand's low dose, bakuchiol shares the work with the retinoid, and XOSM Technology cushions the barrier with encapsulated antioxidants, so most people can build to nightly use within a couple of weeks.

What is a retinol complex and why does it contain bakuchiol? +

IMAGE's 0.3% retinol complex is 0.1% retinoid plus 0.2% bakuchiol. Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient the brand uses alongside retinol to visibly smooth and brighten while keeping the overall formula gentle - you get the visible renewal of retinol with less of the dryness.

What is XOSM Technology? +

XOSM is IMAGE's proprietary, patent-pending technology that smart-encapsulates the antioxidants ectoin, vitamin C and astaxanthin-rich micro-algae. The brand says it boosts the performance of retinol while protecting and nourishing the skin's barrier.

Do I need a moisturiser on top of AGELESS+ Retinol Repair Crème 0.3%? +

No. It is formulated as a silky moisturiser with shea butter, squalane and hyaluronic acid built in, so it replaces your night cream. If your skin is very dry you can layer a plain moisturiser over the top, but most people will not need to.

Can I use IMAGE Skincare AGELESS+ Retinol Repair Crème 0.3% with vitamin C or exfoliating acids? +

Vitamin C is best in the morning, with this crème at night. The crème already contains glycolic, kojic and lactic acid, so keep separate exfoliating acids and scrubs to mornings or alternate nights, especially during the first few weeks.

What is the difference between Repair Crème 0.3% and Pure Liquid Retinol 0.1%? +

Repair Crème 0.3% is a night moisturiser with a 0.3% retinoid-and-bakuchiol complex plus brightening acids and niacinamide. Pure Liquid Retinol 0.1% is a lightweight oil-serum of pure retinol in a seven-oil blend that goes under moisturiser. Choose the crème for a one-step routine with brightening, the serum if you prefer pure retinol you can layer.

What did the clinical study show? +

In IMAGE's four-week study on 30 participants aged 36 to 55 across Fitzpatrick types I to VI: at two weeks 97% reported uneven tone was improved and 93% agreed dark spots looked faded; at four weeks 100% agreed skin felt supple, 97% agreed skin was brighter with more even tone and 97% agreed skin felt firmer with improved elasticity.

When should I step up to Treatment Crème 1.2%? +

IMAGE positions AGELESS+ Retinol Treatment Crème 1.2% for skin that is fully acclimated to retinol. A sensible marker is finishing a full jar of Repair Crème 0.3% at nightly use without redness, flaking or tightness before moving up.

Can I use IMAGE Skincare AGELESS+ Retinol Repair Crème 0.3% during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

IMAGE Skincare asks customers to speak with their healthcare professional before using any of its products while pregnant, and most clinicians advise avoiding vitamin A, including retinol, while pregnant or breastfeeding. For this time the brand points to its ORMEDIC collection, which it states is formulated without the specific ingredients doctors typically recommend avoiding during pregnancy or breastfeeding; ORMEDIC Balancing Biopeptide Crème is the retinol-free night moisturiser we suggest in its place.
