✓ Botanical Retinol + Bakuchiol | ✓ Extremozyme Technology for Comfort | ✓ Moisturising Emulsion Texture

iS Clinical Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 is a fast-acting yet gentle retinol emulsion that combines retinol of botanical origin with a proprietary blend of bakuchiol, botanical boosters, antioxidants and iS Clinical's Extremozyme technology. Designed to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles while evening skin tone and texture, it is the entry-strength retinol for a smoother, more radiant complexion without the usual retinol trade-offs.

The 0.3 in iS Clinical Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 marks it as iS Clinical's gentler retinol strength, and the formula is built to make that strength go further. Bakuchiol shares many of retinol's visible benefits with higher skin tolerability and, iS Clinical says, is even more powerful when combined with retinol. Ectoin, an Extremozyme found in plants that thrive in high-salt environments, helps protect from environmental stressors; a bio-available, stabilised vitamin C adds brightening and antioxidant support; and squalane, shea butter, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, rice bran, rosemary and tripeptide-1 round out a moisturising emulsion that feels like a night cream and works like a resurfacing serum.

A clear, slow introduction schedule from iS Clinical, so beginners are not left guessing

Best For

First-time retinol users wanting a gentle, well-supported start

Choose iS Clinical Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 if you want visible retinol results with the comfort of an emulsion, and introduce it slowly as iS Clinical directs.

As an aesthetic nurse with more than two decades in specialist skincare and medical aesthetics, Becci has watched too many clients give up on retinol after a week of flaking, so her honest advice is to start low and stay comfortable. iS Clinical Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 is the retinol she recommends for that start: bakuchiol-boosted, cushioned in squalane and shea, with Extremozyme protection built in.

FAQS

Is iS Clinical Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 a good retinol for beginners? +

Yes - it is the strength iS Clinical positions as the starting point. The botanical retinol is paired with bakuchiol for higher tolerability, wrapped in a moisturising emulsion, and the brand gives a slow introduction schedule: every 3 days for 3 weeks, then every 2 days if well tolerated.

What does the 0.3 in the name mean? +

It denotes the retinol level in the formula - iS Clinical's gentler, entry strength. The plus sign refers to everything added around the retinol: bakuchiol, botanical boosters, antioxidants, vitamin C, tripeptide-1 and Extremozyme technology.

What is bakuchiol and why is it combined with retinol? +

Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient that shares many of retinol's visible benefits with higher skin tolerability. iS Clinical says it is even more powerful when combined with retinol, which is why the two sit together here: more visible results, less of the irritation people expect from vitamin A.

How often should I use iS Clinical Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 when starting? +

Follow iS Clinical's schedule: every 3 days for the first 3 weeks, then every 2 days if your skin is comfortable, always at night. Keep your normal routine on the nights in between and never skip sunscreen the next morning.

Do I need a moisturiser on top? +

Often not - the emulsion contains squalane, shea butter, hyaluronic acid and panthenol, so many skin types find it hydrating enough on its own. If your skin is dry or you are in the first weeks, layer Reparative Moisture Emulsion or SHEALD Recovery Balm over the top.

Can I use Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 with vitamin C or acids? +

Keep them apart: vitamin C serums such as GeneXC Serum or Super Serum Advance+ in the morning under SPF, Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 at night. Do not use exfoliating acids or peels on the same evening as the retinol; save them for an off night.

Will it make my skin peel or sting? +

It is formulated to minimise that: bakuchiol, Ectoin, squalane and shea are all there for comfort, and the every-3-days start is deliberate. Mild dryness in the early weeks is normal with any retinol; if it goes beyond that, reduce frequency and buffer with a moisturiser.

Does Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 contain fragrance? +

Yes - Fragrance/Parfum appears at the very end of the ingredient list, so the amount is small. If you are sensitive to fragrance, patch test behind the ear first.

Can I use iS Clinical Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

iS Clinical's UK site states its formulas are non-systemic and considers them suitable in pregnancy, including those containing retinol, while its US site asks you to consult your physician first. Most clinicians advise avoiding vitamin A while pregnant or breastfeeding, so check with your midwife or GP; Super Serum Advance+ is iS Clinical's vitamin A-free alternative for lines and firmness.
