VI DERM Retinol Age-Defying Moisturizer — Fragrance-Free 1.7 fl oz, Glycolic Acid & Vitamin C

VI DERM Retinol Age-Defying Moisturizer is a lightweight, water-based daily face cream that pairs retinol with glycolic acid, vitamin C and azelaic acid to hydrate, refine texture and support a smoother-looking complexion.

This formula combines several active ingredients—retinol to encourage cellular renewal, 10% glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation, stable vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) for antioxidant support, and azelaic acid for tone and clarity—into a fast-absorbing, fragrance-free lotion designed for both women and men. Brought together in a non-greasy base, the moisturizer is intended to be used nightly (with daytime SPF recommended) and suits a variety of skin types seeking age-defying hydration and improved surface texture.

How does this moisturizer support skin renewal overnight?

The product uses retinol and glycolic acid together to encourage the removal of dull surface cells while promoting a more refined skin texture by morning. Retinol helps promote turnover, and glycolic acid assists with surface resurfacing so pores and fine lines appear less noticeable over time.

• Retinol promotes cellular turnover for smoother-feeling skin.
• Glycolic acid (10%) provides gentle chemical exfoliation.
• Water-based formula absorbs quickly without heaviness.
• Best used in evening routines with daytime SPF for protection.

Will this moisturizer help brighten and even my complexion?

Yes — the combination of a stable vitamin C derivative and azelaic acid targets uneven tone and helps support a brighter-looking complexion. Vitamin C variant in this formula is oil-soluble and more stable, designed to deliver antioxidant benefits while azelaic acid works to reduce the appearance of discoloration and promote clarity.

• Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate helps with radiance and environmental defense.
• Azelaic acid supports tone-evening and reduction of discoloration.
• Regular use can lead to a more uniform, luminous appearance.

Is this suitable for sensitive or combination skin types?

The lightweight, non-greasy, fragrance-free formula is designed to work well across skin types, including combination and many sensitive skin profiles. Because it contains active exfoliating ingredients, start slowly to assess tolerance—apply every other night or pair with calming hydrators if you have sensitivity.

• Fragrance-free base reduces risk of irritation from added scent.
• Water-based texture minimizes pore-clogging for combination skin.
• Introduce gradually to monitor tolerance to retinol and glycolic acid.

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine?

Apply this moisturizer in the evening after cleansing and any lighter serums; allow acids and retinol to work overnight. Because active renewal can increase sun sensitivity, pair morning skincare with a broad-spectrum SPF to protect improvements and maintain results.

• Use on clean, dry skin at night for best results.
• Follow with daily SPF during daytime to protect renewed skin.
• Consider alternating nights if you use other retinoids or exfoliants.

Who is this for: VI DERM Retinol Age-Defying Moisturizer is aimed at adults seeking a targeted, multi-active nightly cream to improve hydration, refine texture and support a more even-looking complexion. It suits both men and women who want a streamlined anti-aging step that combines resurfacing, antioxidant support and tone-balancing ingredients in a single, fast-absorbing lotion. If you are new to chemical exfoliants or retinoids, consult a skincare professional and introduce the product gradually.
