Product Overview - SUZANOBAGIMD Retivance Skin Rejuvenating Complex | 30g

The SUZANOBAGIMD Retivance Skin Rejuvenating Complex is a revolutionary anti-ageing serum that combines the transformative power of Retinaldehyde with advanced Peptides and Antioxidants to deliver visible results without irritation. Developed by renowned dermatologist Dr. Suzan Obagi MD, this clinically studied formula improves skin texture, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and addresses photoageing concerns whilst remaining gentle enough for sensitive and reactive skin types. The lightweight, silky formulation glides effortlessly onto skin, making it suitable for all skin types including combination, dry, normal, oily, and sensitive skin.

This three-in-one rejuvenating complex features Retinaldehyde (a Vitamin A derivative that converts directly to retinoic acid), Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 for collagen support, and stabilised Vitamin C and Vitamin E for powerful antioxidant protection. Enriched with soothing Bisabolol and Chamomile Extract, this dermatologist-tested, formulated for sensitive skin serum minimises irritation whilst delivering enhanced anti-ageing results for a smoother, more radiant, and youthful-looking complexion.

Key Benefits at a Glance:

Immediate Benefits:

Calms redness and inflammation with soothing bisabolol and chamomile extract
Provides free radical protection through powerful antioxidants vitamin C and vitamin E
Gentle on sensitive skin with a non-irritating, formulated for sensitive skin formula suitable for reactive skin types

Long-Term Benefits:

With consistent use, the SUZANOBAGIMD Retivance Skin Rejuvenating Complex works to increase cellular turnover, revealing fresher, more youthful-looking skin over time. The advanced retinaldehyde formulation helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity whilst reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and roughness. Enhanced collagen production, supported by the peptide complex, strengthens skin structure for improved resilience and a visibly smoother, more refined complexion.

The comprehensive antioxidant protection shields skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage that accelerate ageing, whilst the gentle exfoliating action helps to fade hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Over time, your complexion becomes noticeably brighter, more even, and healthier, with a reduction in visible signs of photoageing and a restored youthful radiance.

How will it feel on my Skin?:

The SUZANOBAGIMD Retivance Skin Rejuvenating Complex has a luxuriously lightweight, silky texture that applies like a soft balm. The serum glides smoothly across the skin, absorbing quickly without leaving any greasy or sticky residue. Upon application, you'll experience a gentle, comfortable sensation with no tingling or irritation, making it ideal for those with sensitive or reactive skin. The fatty acid-rich base provides nourishment whilst the formula works its rejuvenating magic overnight, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed by morning.

Directions

How To Use

Application: After thoroughly cleansing and toning your face in the evening, apply up to 3 pumps of Retivance Skin Rejuvenating Complex to your face. Massage gently into the skin using upward motions. Feather the serum onto your jawline and neck for comprehensive anti-ageing benefits.

Frequency: Use once daily in the evening for optimal results. For sensitive skin, you may start with every other night and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin builds tolerance.

Timing: Apply as part of your evening skincare routine after cleansing and toning, but before your facial moisturiser.

Layering: Follow with your preferred Obagi or Skintique facial moisturiser to seal in the benefits. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher the morning after using Retivance, as retinoids can increase sun sensitivity.

Expert Tips: Allow the serum to absorb for 15-20 minutes before applying additional products for maximum efficacy. Speak to our experts for personalised application guidance tailored to your specific skin concerns.

FAQ

How does retinaldehyde differ from traditional retinol?

Retinaldehyde is one step closer to active retinoic acid compared to retinol, requiring only one enzymatic conversion rather than two. This means it works more efficiently and delivers results more quickly, whilst remaining significantly gentler on the skin. Many individuals who cannot tolerate traditional retinol products find retinaldehyde to be well-tolerated and effective.

Can I use this product if I have sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes, the SUZANOBAGIMD Retivance Skin Rejuvenating Complex is specifically formulated to be gentle enough for sensitive and reactive skin types. The formula is dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and includes calming ingredients like bisabolol and chamomile extract to minimise irritation. Many users with sensitive skin who cannot tolerate prescription-strength retinoids have found success with this product.

How long will it take to see results?

Initial improvements in skin texture and radiance may be noticed within the first few weeks of consistent use. More significant results, including reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, typically become visible after 8-12 weeks of regular evening application. For optimal results, our experts recommend continued use as part of your long-term skincare routine.

Should I use this product every night?

Most individuals can use this product nightly once their skin has adjusted to the formula. If you're new to retinoids or have particularly sensitive skin, start by applying every other night for the first 2-3 weeks, then gradually increase to nightly use as tolerated. Speak to our skincare experts for personalised application guidance.

Can I use this product around my eyes?

Whilst the formula is gentle, we recommend avoiding direct application to the delicate eye area and feathering the product carefully along the jawline and orbital bone. For targeted eye area treatment, consider pairing with a dedicated eye cream from the Obagi range.

Do I need to use sunscreen with this product?

Yes, daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is absolutely essential when using any retinoid product. Retinoids increase skin's sensitivity to UV radiation, and sun protection is critical to prevent sun damage and maximise the anti-ageing benefits of your treatment.
