When beginning your COSMEDIX retinol skincare journey, we recommend starting with Define Age-Defying Treatment. This multi-tasking cream gently exfoliates the skin to promote a smoother-looking texture by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and imperfections. Formulated with 2% AGP Retinol Complex and Alpha Hydroxy Acids, this rich treatment helps reveal the next layer of skin while restoring hydration to the complexion for a more supple, even-looking skin tone.
Directions
Night
Apply a small amount to freshly cleansed and toned skin 2-4 times weekly as part of your nightly regimen. Use as tolerated. Follow with a moisturizer if further hydration is needed.
Day
We do not recommend this product for use in the morning as it may cause skin sensitivity to sun.

Benefits
- A combination of science and botanical ingredients help firm skin and smooth lines and wrinkles.
- Conditioning moisturizers help attract and retain vital moisture in the skin.
- Helps to even skin tone by reducing the look of acne scars, dark spots and hyper-pigmentation.
- Free radical-fighting antioxidants defend skin from environmental stress that can cause inflammation and damage to collagen and elastin.
- Acne is caused when oil, hair and dead skin cells clog pores. Ingredients such as Salicylic Acid and AGP Complex help stimulate cell turnover to curb breakouts.
- Improved texture and proper product absorption is due to exfoliation. When the surface layer of the skin is removed, fresh skin is revealed and can absorb active ingredients easier.
- AGP Complex – an AGP Retinol Complex for oily, congested and blemish-prone skin – encourages skin renewal to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and imperfections.
- For those with severe gluten sensitivities or Dermatitis Herpetiformis, rest assured this product is gluten free.
