The Innisfree Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule is a barrier-aware retinol treatment created for people who want the benefits of retinol — without overwhelming their skin.

Instead of pushing strength, this formula pairs low-dose retinol with cica (Centella Asiatica) and soothing support ingredients to help skin adjust gradually. The focus is on consistency, tolerance, and long-term skin health, not fast or aggressive correction.

Skin texture looks smoother over time, pores appear more refined, and skin feels more resilient — without the redness, peeling, or discomfort commonly associated with stronger retinoids.

This is an ideal option if you’re:

  • new to retinol

  • returning after irritation

  • or maintaining results between stronger treatments

-
WHO IT’S FOR

✔ Retinol beginners
✔ Sensitive or easily irritated skin
✔ Uneven texture or early fine lines
✔ Skin transitioning back to actives

Not ideal for:
✘ Advanced retinoid users seeking high-strength correction
✘ Use alongside prescription tretinoin


TEXTURE & FEEL

  • Lightweight ampoule

  • Absorbs quickly

  • No heavy residue

  • Comfortable for layering under moisturiser

When to Use

  • Evening only
  • As a beginner retinol or gentle maintenance retinol
  • During periods when skin feels fragile or reactive
  • Not on the same nights as other retinoids or strong actives

-
How to Apply

  1. Cleanse and apply toner.
  2. Wait until skin feels fully dry (important for retinol comfort).
  3. Apply 1 pump of the ampoule to face, avoiding eye and lip area.
  4. Follow immediately with a barrier-supporting moisturiser.

-
Beginner Retinol Schedule (Very Important)

  • Weeks 1–2: 2 nights per week
  • Weeks 3–4: Increase to every other night only if skin feels calm
  • Long-term: Many people stay at every-other-night — this is effective

💡 If irritation appears, pause use and switch to barrier-only care for a few days.

-
Pro Tips

  • Never apply on damp skin — dry skin = less irritation.
  • Do not “catch up” if you miss a night. Just continue your schedule.
  • Retinol works through consistency, not frequency.
  • Always wear SPF50 daily while using retinol — even on cloudy days.
