Retinol Capsules

Retinol Capsules are a wonderful way to add retinol to your existing skin care without adding another product. You simply open a capsule each day, add it to an existing product - either a serum or cream - and apply it with the other product. An added bonus is that you know the retinol inside is fresh and potent.
