Why You'll Love It

The fear of retinol is real — and understandable. Most people who are hesitant have either had a bad experience with a harsh formula or know someone who has. Redness, flaking, sensitivity, purging. None of that is inevitable. It's the consequence of the wrong dose, wrong delivery, or wrong introduction. The AGELESS+ Pure Liquid Retinol 0.1% is designed to eliminate all of it. The 0.1% concentration is the entry point in IMAGE's intentionally designed progressive retinol system — low enough that even the most sensitive skin can introduce it without disruption, but genuine pure retinol rather than an encapsulated derivative, meaning it is immediately bioavailable and does actually deliver results. XOSM™ Technology boosts retinol's performance in real time while delivering ectoin, fat-soluble vitamin C, and astaxanthin alongside it to protect and nourish the barrier as the retinol works. Bisabolol and ginger actively neutralise any inflammatory response before it can manifest as redness or irritation. The seven-oil blend — squalane, sea buckthorn, moringa, grape seed, avocado, argan, and sunflower — provides deep nourishment and actually helps sea buckthorn deliver the retinol deeper into the skin. The result is the retinol experience it should always be: gradual, visible, comfortable, and genuinely exciting when you notice the difference at week two. Use nightly. Build to consistent use. Then step up.

How To Use

Apply one pipette every night directly to clean, dry skin. Press gently into face and neck — do not rub. Follow with moisturiser. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF the next morning. Begin with 2–3 evenings per week and increase to nightly as tolerated. After using nightly for 2+ months without any signs of flaking, redness, or irritation, consider stepping up to the AGELESS+ Pure Liquid Retinol 0.3% for enhanced results.

Your questions, answered by your NP

Pure Liquid Retinol 0.1% - everything you need to know before you buy.

What makes this different from other retinol serums at 0.1%?

Most retinol products at any concentration use encapsulated retinol — the retinol is wrapped in a delivery vehicle that releases it gradually after application. Encapsulation reduces irritation but also delays bioavailability: the retinol has to escape the capsule before it can work. The AGELESS+ Pure Liquid Retinol 0.1% uses non-encapsulated pure retinol — immediately bioavailable from the moment it contacts skin. At 0.1%, that immediate bioavailability matters because the concentration is calibrated to be gentle enough that direct contact is appropriate, and the performance benefit of pure retinol over encapsulated retinol at this dose is meaningful. The formula then protects the barrier alongside that pure retinol through three layers of support. XOSM™ Technology — IMAGE's patent-pending smart-encapsulation system — delivers ectoin, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (fat-soluble vitamin C), and astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis alongside the retinol to protect and nourish the barrier as it works. Bisabolol and ginger root extract actively neutralise any inflammatory response before it can manifest as redness or irritation. The seven-oil blend — squalane, sea buckthorn, moringa, grape seed, avocado, argan, and sunflower — provides deep nourishment and lipid replenishment; sea buckthorn specifically has transdermal delivery properties that help carry the retinol deeper into the skin. Panthenol, phosphatidylcholine, rice bran extract, rosemary, and vanilla planifolia complete the nourishing base. The anhydrous (water-free) format — the INCI lists Aqua very low — means the retinol exists in a stable, oil-rich environment that protects its potency throughout the product's shelf life. This is also the entry point into IMAGE's intentionally designed progressive retinol system, with a clear upgrade path to 0.3% after two months of comfortable nightly use.

Is Pure Liquid Retinol 0.1% suitable for sensitive skin?

It's designed specifically for it — and the clinical data says so directly. IMAGE's own testing shows 90% of participants experienced no redness or discomfort using this product. That's an exceptionally strong result for any retinol product, even at 0.1%, and it's a direct consequence of the bisabolol and ginger anti-inflammatory system working to actively suppress any inflammatory response rather than simply hoping the low concentration is gentle enough on its own. The skin types listed on the page are new retinol users, sensitive and dry skin, and ageing skin — sensitive skin is a primary target, not an afterthought. For clients who have previously tried retinol and had a bad experience — redness, peeling, flaking, reactivity — the combination of pure retinol at an entry concentration with active anti-inflammatory support and a seven-oil barrier-nourishing base is a genuinely different proposition from what they likely tried before. Start at two to three evenings per week and increase to nightly as tolerated; that introduction protocol, combined with the formula's built-in sensitivity management, gives sensitive skin the best possible start to a retinol routine.

How do I use it, and does technique matter?

Apply one full pipette every night to clean, dry skin — the dry skin instruction is more important here than with most serums. Applying retinol to damp skin increases penetration and irritation risk; dry skin ensures the oil-rich formula absorbs as intended. Press gently into face and neck — do not rub. The pressing technique distributes the product without mechanical friction that can sensitise the skin at this step. Follow with your moisturiser. Always use broad-spectrum SPF 50+ the following morning — retinol accelerates cell turnover and increases UV photosensitivity, and skipping morning SPF actively counteracts the renewal the retinol is producing. Begin at two to three evenings per week. Add an extra evening per week as your skin tolerates it, building toward nightly use over two to four weeks. Once you've been using it nightly for two or more months without any flaking, redness, or irritation, the How To Use copy explicitly recommends stepping up to the AGELESS+ Pure Liquid Retinol 0.3% for enhanced results.

When will I see results?

Earlier than most clients expect from a 0.1% retinol. Pure non-encapsulated retinol at immediate bioavailability delivers results faster than an encapsulated equivalent at the same stated concentration. Most clients notice improved skin texture and a more refined appearance within the first two to three weeks of consistent use — pores appear smaller and skin looks smoother as cell turnover increases. Visible improvement in fine lines and skin brightness typically becomes clear at the four to six week mark. The clinical data shows meaningful reduction in fine lines and improvement in skin tone in four weeks. All five TRSA reviewers rated this five stars. The full anti-ageing benefit — firmness, deeper line improvement, sustained brightness — compounds progressively over months of consistent nightly use and builds further when you step up to the 0.3% after your two-month introduction period.

Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

No — and this is the same unequivocal position I hold for every retinol product regardless of concentration. This formula contains retinol, a vitamin A derivative, and all retinoids in all forms are contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The 0.1% concentration does not change this position — there is no established safe threshold for topical retinoid use during pregnancy, and the conservative clinical guidance is complete avoidance for the duration of pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding and looking for a nightly treatment that delivers visible results without retinol, there are excellent options across the ORMEDIC and BIOME+ ranges that I'm happy to recommend. Contact me or book a consultation for alternatives that are appropriate for your current skin needs.

How does the 0.1% fit into the AGELESS+ retinol system — and when do I step up?

IMAGE has designed the AGELESS+ Pure Liquid Retinol range as a progressive system with a deliberate entry-to-advanced pathway. The 0.1% is the starting point — appropriate for new retinol users, those returning after a break, or sensitive skin introducing retinol for the first time. The upgrade condition is specific: two or more months of comfortable nightly use at 0.1% with no flaking, redness, or irritation. At that point, the skin has acclimated to retinol and is ready for enhanced results from the 0.3%. This progression matters because stepping into a higher concentration before acclimation is complete is where most retinol experiences go wrong. The 0.1% period isn't a compromise — it's doing real work and producing real results, and the acclimation it builds makes the 0.3% more effective when you get there. Don't rush the step-up.

Which size should I choose — 15ml or 30ml?

The 15ml ($109.95) is a meaningful trial — at once-nightly use of one pipette, it lasts approximately six to eight weeks, which covers the full introductory acclimation period and gives you a clear sense of how your skin responds. If you're new to retinol or new to this formula specifically, the 15ml is the right starting size. The 30ml ($189.95) lasts approximately three to four months at nightly use, covers the full two-month acclimation period plus the early weeks of nightly use, and represents better value per ml. If you've used retinol before and are confident this formula is right for your skin — or if you're transitioning from another retinol product and are ready to commit — the 30ml is the better buy.

Is it worth $189.95 for the 30ml?

The value question for a retinol serum at any price is whether it actually delivers retinol results without compromising your skin in the process. Pure non-encapsulated retinol at immediate bioavailability, protected by XOSM™ Technology antioxidant delivery, actively calmed by bisabolol and ginger, nourished by a seven-oil blend including sea buckthorn for enhanced retinol transport, and validated by 90% of participants experiencing no redness or discomfort — that's a formula that earns its price through performance and tolerance simultaneously. At nightly use over three to four months per 30ml bottle, the per-night cost is modest for the most evidence-backed anti-ageing active in over-the-counter skincare, delivered in a formula designed to work without disrupting your skin getting there. My 30-day results guarantee means you try it without risk.
