GlyMed Plus Retinol Rejuvenation Serum is a corrective gel serum formulated with a maximum concentration of 5% retinol to visibly reduce fine lines, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and breakouts over time. The retinol is micro-encapsulated, meaning it penetrates quickly and releases gradually into the skin, which helps minimize the dryness and irritation that often comes with high-strength retinol formulas. It carries a light herbal scent from rosemary leaf oil and geranium oil.

Key Benefits

Speeds Up Cell Turnover A 5% concentration of micro-encapsulated retinol accelerates the rate at which your skin sheds and renews itself, which gradually fades pigmentation, smooths rough texture, and reduces the frequency of breakouts.

Stimulates Collagen Production Retinol signals the skin to produce more collagen, which means fine lines and wrinkles become less defined with consistent use over time.

Firms and Strengthens Skin Two peptides, palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminobutyroyl hydroxythreonine and palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminohydroxybutyrate, work alongside retinol to support the skin's structural proteins, improving firmness and resilience.

Draws In and Holds Moisture Hyaluronic acid pulls water into the skin and helps retain it, so the serum delivers active correction without leaving skin feeling tight or stripped.

Delivers Antioxidant Support Tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) and acne-safe refined olive oil help neutralize environmental damage while supporting the skin barrier throughout the renewal process.

If you are ready to address fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, or recurring breakouts with a high-strength retinol, this serum is built for that goal. It is best suited for skin that has some previous experience with retinol and is ready to step up to a maximum-concentration formula.

Ideal for normal, oily, combination, or acne-prone skin types looking for visible correction over time. The micro-encapsulated delivery makes the high retinol concentration more tolerable than traditional formulas, but this is still a potent serum that requires a gradual introduction.

This serum is not recommended for very sensitive, reactive, rosacea-prone, or eczema-prone skin without guidance from a skincare professional.

Start with every 2 to 3 nights for the first two weeks, then build toward nightly use only once your skin has adjusted without significant dryness or flaking. If irritation does appear, scale back frequency rather than stopping entirely, consistency at a lower cadence still delivers results.

Cleanse and tone your skin before applying.

Apply 1 pump to the face, neck, and chest in the evening.

Layer a moisturizer on top to support the skin barrier.

Frequency: Begin by applying every 2 to 3 days for the first 1 to 2 weeks, then gradually increase to nightly use as tolerated. Some initial redness, dryness, or peeling is normal as your skin adjusts.

Morning routine: Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF the following morning and for at least one week after use, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.

Important: Avoid combining with other exfoliants or acids, including AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C, unless directed by a skincare professional.
