Who is it for?

People already using a prescription retinoid or separate retinol product who still want antioxidant protection, gentle exfoliation, hydration support, and barrier focused skincare without overcomplicating their routine.

Who should avoid this routine?

Everything But Retinol may not be suitable for people with highly sensitive, broken, or actively irritated skin barriers, or for those already struggling with irritation from multiple active skincare products.

If your skin is easily reactive, introduce Protective Glow and Brighten slowly and monitor how your skin responds.

What problem do we solve you?

Many of our patients using prescription retinoids were still struggling with dryness, irritation, dehydration, or overly complicated skincare routines built around too many conflicting products.

Others were unknowingly combining active ingredients in ways that left the skin feeling constantly irritated or overwhelmed.

Everything But Retinol combines the rest of the Epitology active range into a structured routine designed to complement retinoid use while helping support hydration, skin comfort, and overall skin health.

Why these products?

This routine was designed to support a more balanced and manageable active skincare routine around prescription retinoid use.

Gentle Cleanse helps remove oil, sunscreen, and daily build up without leaving the skin feeling stripped or overly dry after cleansing.

Protective Glow combines vitamin C, ferulic acid, and vitamin E to help support a brighter, more even looking complexion while helping defend against the visible effects of environmental stress and oxidative damage throughout the day.

Radiant Repair combines niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and resveratrol to help support the skin barrier, improve hydration, and reduce visible redness while helping support skin comfort alongside retinoid use.

Brighten uses 10% mandelic acid, an exfoliating acid chosen for its slower penetration compared to stronger acids like glycolic acid. This helps support smoother looking skin texture and a more even looking complexion over time while remaining better tolerated by many people already using active skincare products.

Hydrate helps support hydration and skin comfort while helping reduce the dryness and tightness commonly associated with retinoid use.

Together, the routine was designed to support a more balanced and manageable active skincare routine around prescription retinoid use.

Application tips+
Use Gentle Cleanse morning and evening. Apply Protective Glow in the morning after cleansing, followed by Hydrate moisturiser and sunscreen.

In the evening, alternate Brighten with your prescribed retinoid product rather than using them together initially, then follow with Radiant Repair and Hydrate moisturiser.

Build up use gradually as tolerated.
