We couldn’t be more excited for the launch of iS Clinical Retinol + Emulsion 0.3. Retinol is one of the most talked-about ingredients in skincare — but also one of the most misunderstood.
Some of the most common myths we hear?
- All retinols are the same
- If you experience peeling, you should stop using it
- The more you apply daily, the better the results
Let’s set the record straight and uncover the real power behind our Retinol + Emulsion.

Myth #1 — All Retinols Are Not the Same: Why iS Clinical Retinol + Emulsion is Different
Not even close. iS Clinical has spent over 20 years developing an advanced retinol formulation that’s unlike any other.
Using gene activation studies that analyse 20,000–25,000 genomes, we’ve crafted a highly active, fast-acting retinol of botanical origin — encapsulated in bio-identical lipids for efficient delivery and optimal skin health.
The result? Pioneering technology + precision ingredient pairing = enhanced results with excellent tolerability.
Myth #2 — The More Retinol You Apply, the Better the Results
Retinol isn’t about how much you apply — it’s about concentration, timing, and consistency.
For Retinol + Emulsion 0.3:
- Apply 2–3 pumps to the face, neck, and décolletage in the evening.
- New to retinol? Start with use every three days to build tolerance.
More product won’t speed up results — but it can increase irritation.
Myth #3 — Peeling Means You Should Stop Using Retinol
Mild peeling is normal when starting retinol. It’s a sign your skin is gently resurfacing.
Benefits of continued use include:
- Reduced redness
- Fewer fine lines & wrinkles
- More even skin tone
- Smoother texture
- Improved firmness & elasticity
Our formulation balances active and anti-inflammatory ingredients to protect your skin barrier while delivering results.
What Makes iS Clinical Retinol + Emulsion Stand Out from Other Retinols
We’ve perfected a lipid-encapsulated vitamin A system with targeted “boosters” that:
- Encourage gentle cell turnover
- Improve delivery and absorption
- Reduce potential side effects
- Amplify performance without compromising skin health
Our Advanced Retinol ‘Boosters’ for Maximum Skin Benefits
- Bakuchiol — plant-based retinol alternative that enhances retinol’s benefits without added irritation.
- Poria Cocos Extract — traditional medicinal ingredient for anti-ageing.
- Rice Bran Extract, Rosemary Extract & Vitamin E — antioxidant trio that boosts retinol by 32%.
- Extremozymes (including Ectoin) — protect and restore DNA, like “bubble wrap” for skin cells.
- Vitamin C + Colloidal Gold — brightens, heals, stimulates collagen.
- Shea Butter — maintains a healthy, strong skin barrier.
- Copper Tripeptide-1 — supports skin’s natural healing process.
The Bottom Line
Retinol + Emulsion 0.3 is the result of decades of research, precision formulation, and the highest quality ingredients — designed to deliver visible results while respecting your skin’s integrity.
If you’re ready to experience the right kind of retinol, now is the time to start.
