✨ Key Benefits
• Revitalizes skin texture and tone for a luminous, radiant complexion
• Encapsulated retinol technology delivers optimal potency with enhanced stability
• Gently reduces dead skin buildup for a smoother, more refined appearance
• Targets visible signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture
• Helps lock in moisture to minimize dryness, irritation, and sensitivity


✨ What It Is
NourishMax Retinol Cream is an advanced age-defying treatment formulated with 0.5% encapsulated retinol for controlled, sustained release. Encapsulating retinol within a phospholipid layer enhances stability and improves delivery, ensuring the ingredient reaches the skin effectively and comfortably. This velvety cream helps renew the skin’s appearance, refine uneven texture and tone, and visibly soften expression lines and wrinkles.

The formula offers a two-tier approach:
Targeted Renewal: Each retinol molecule is individually encapsulated to protect its potency and convert into retinoic acid upon absorption.
Advanced Hydration: A balanced blend of humectants, emollients, and barrier-supporting lipids keeps the skin hydrated, supple, and comfortable as retinol works overnight.


✨ How It Works
Encapsulated Retinol Delivery
Retinol is housed inside a phospholipid shell that protects the ingredient from degradation and allows for gradual, targeted release. Once absorbed, retinol converts into retinoic acid the active form of vitamin A responsible for encouraging cell turnover, smoothing fine lines, and promoting a brighter, more youthful complexion.

Multi-Level Hydration System
The cream features a multi-level hydration system designed to counter the dryness often associated with retinol by combining glycerin to draw in deep, continuous moisture, squalane for lightweight, skin-identical replenishment, jojoba and safflower seed oils to nourish, soften, and condition, and ceramide-3 to strengthen the moisture barrier and reduce moisture loss.

Together, they create a long-lasting hydration matrix that supports smoother, calmer, and more resilient skin.


✨ Why It’s Special
Vitamin A exists in several forms, each requiring conversion to retinoic acid before it can improve the skin. These forms range from mildest to most potent:
• Retinyl Esters
• Retinol
• Retinaldehyde
• Retinoic Acid

This formula strategically uses retinol and retinyl palmitate a combination that provides meaningful results while maintaining skin comfort. It supports natural exfoliation, refines texture, improves clarity, and promotes a more youthful appearance without excessive irritation.


✨ What’s In It
Retinol & Retinyl Palmitate: Vitamin A derivatives that convert into retinoic acid to smooth, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin.
Jojoba Seed Oil: Lightweight emollient rich in fatty acids that soften and condition.
Squalane: Olive-derived hydrator that mimics natural skin lipids.
Safflower Seed Oil: Nourishing botanical with moisturizing benefits.
Glycerin: Plant-based humectant that increases hydration and skin softness.
Hydrolyzed Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride): Enhances softness with a lightweight conditioning feel.
Ceramide-3: Key lipid essential for a strong moisture barrier and improved skin resilience.


✨ How to Apply
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area. Begin by using 1–2 times per week, gradually increasing frequency as the skin builds tolerance. Follow with moisturizer if needed. Always use SPF during daytime when incorporating retinol into your routine.

The best retinol cream

I’ve tried many retinol creams from very well known skincare brands and I find NourishMax the most effective. My skin looks great and I’ve been using it for 2 years already.
I 100% recommend it.

I think I am seeing progress in my skin tone

Excellent Quality

I did a lot of research on retinol creams before ordering NourishMax. I have only been using it for two weeks now and I have started slowly (2-3 per week). So far, I love how easily it absorbs and a little goes a long way. Even in as little as two weeks, my skin is responding well, and fine lines are getting less and less. I look forward to the benefits once I start using it more often. I use it in my regime in the following order: first cleanse, (sometimes an extra deep cleanse with the exfoliating pads), tone, retinol, then moisturizer. No redness or irritation at all. I am going by the recommendation to start 2x per week. Will be using it regularly soon.

Magic

Retinal cream works magic. Occasionally , I have a skin breakout. After several days , with nightly application , the area becomes smoother to the touch.

So far, so good. Noticed wrinkles appear to be "less deep", only used about a week.

Amazing results

This product has significantly reduced breakthrough bleeding due to thinning skin (due to aging and aspirin intake) on the back side of my forearm. My dermatologist suggested that Retinol cream might help, I tried a couple of products. NourishMax was the winner! Thank you.

Not sure yet

I just started using this product and haven't reached the daily useage yet. So far it isn't irritating to my face but it smells rancid. Not being able to find any other ratings that state that I am not sure this is a good product to continue using. I sent a message to the company asking about the smell but didn't get a response.

The consistency is totally different

This was my 4 purchase and it poured out, not at all like the last 3.
I’m not sure if there is something wrong with this and if it will work the same or not. I have 2 more containers since I bought 3 and I’m not sure if they will all be the same.
I might call customer service if I have time to see if this is unusual. I’m not sure what to think, all I can say is that it is different than the last 3.

Great results

I have noticed my face looking brighter and younger. I am 79 years old and have been in the sun a lot during my life. I have many sun spots all over my body, but the ones on my face are fading. Thank you!

Softens yet tightens skin

I’m seeing a difference in my skin in that it feels firmer, but also softer. Will continue to use.

great product

I'm 71 years old and the product has decreased lines above and below my lips and on my face. My face looks much younger and friends say my skin looks really good. I also use the hyaluroric day cream and hyaluronic serum as well as the neck cream. Mourishmax products are my favorite because they work so well and are priced affordably.

Love it so much, I ordered 5 jars in my second order

I love this cream! Been using it for about 3 wks and I already ordered a second order of 5 jars! It's much cheaper that way and I already know that I will use it up with no problem.
I will mention a few things that are not recommended but I am doing: I use this cream with another retinol serum of the same concentration, and I use this cream both at night and in the morning. Here is the caveat though, I don't have sensitive skin and my skin tolerates retinol well. Please don't do this if you're not in this situation.
Here is what I love about this cream: it feels very light on the skin. I am in Houston where it is super hot and humid right now and for months to come. I love a cream that I cannot even feel.
Little goes a long way, there is no irritation, it works well with both spf and tinted moisturizer. In terms of effectiveness, it's too early to say, but the skin does feel very nice.
If you buy 5 $30 per jar is actually quite affordable for a good retinol cream. Highly recommend!

Retinol That Works

This retinol product is the real deal. I’ve used other retinol products, but this one is stronger and is giving me great results. I’m 64 and feel like it’s the most potent without a prescription.
