Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Intense Wrinkle Cream (60ml)

A retinol moisturizer that works as hard as your serums.

The Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Intense Wrinkle Cream is a rich, buttery moisturizer powered by the Phyto-Retinol Blend - two forms of retinol, Bakuchiol, Rambutan, and Ferulic Acid - that visibly firms, plumps, and smooths fine lines and wrinkles while delivering long-lasting hydration. Unlike standard moisturizers that sit on the surface, this one actively works at three levels: reinforcing the moisture barrier, thickening the epidermis through accelerated cell turnover, and stimulating collagen-producing fibroblasts deeper in the dermis. Arnica and Centella Asiatica help replenish and soothe, while four forms of Hyaluronic Acid and a lineup of nourishing oils keep skin genuinely hydrated throughout the day and night. 

Leaves a silky matte finish. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. 

Who's It For

Anyone dealing with dry fine lines, deeper wrinkles, loss of firmness, dryness, or uneven skin tone who wants a moisturizer that delivers active anti-aging results alongside hydration. Works across all skin types - oily, normal, combination, dry, and sensitive - and is designed for consistent AM/PM use.

Key Benefits

• Diminishes Fine Lines and Wrinkles - Clinically proven to significantly reduce fine lines in two weeks. The Phyto-Retinol Blend combines two types of retinol with Bakuchiol, Rambutan, and Ferulic Acid to smooth wrinkles without irritation.
• Instantly Hydrates - Clinically proven to boost hydration immediately, with a rich, buttery texture that replenishes moisture and maintains it throughout the day and night.
• Firms and Lifts - Retinol and Bakuchiol increase the thickness of the epidermis and dermis by stimulating collagen production, resulting in visibly firmer, more elastic skin over time.
• Supports Natural Collagen Production - Retinol, Bakuchiol, and Rambutan directly stimulate collagen-producing fibroblasts in the upper dermis to build new collagen while protecting existing collagen from breakdown.
• Reinforces the Moisture Barrier - Bakuchiol, Ceramides, and Phospholipids strengthen the skin's barrier function to prevent moisture loss and keep skin supple and comfortable.
• Non-Irritating Retinol - Ferulic Acid counteracts the sensitizing effects of retinol, making this suitable for sensitive skin types and safe for daily AM and PM use.
• Clinically Tested - In a two-week clinical and consumer perception study, 94% immediately saw smoother skin, 94% showed a clinically significant reduction in dry fine lines immediately, 97% saw an improvement in overall skin appearance after two weeks, 91% saw stronger and more youthful skin, and 85% saw firmer skin with improved elasticity.

Key Ingredients

• Retinol - Used in two forms - trans-retinol and encapsulated retinol - to stimulate collagen production, smooth texture, fade dark spots, and visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles without irritation.
• Bakuchiol - A plant-derived retinol alternative that delivers the same level of efficacy as retinol on firming, cell turnover, and collagen support while reinforcing the moisture barrier and preventing irritation.
• Rambutan (Nephelium Lappaceum Leaf Extract) - A potent antioxidant that protects natural collagen levels from environmental damage and aids in collagen production.
• Ferulic Acid - Counteracts the irritating effects of retinol, reduces visible sun damage, and enhances the stability and performance of antioxidants in the formula.
• Hyaluronic Acid Complex (Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate) - Four forms of Hyaluronic Acid that work at different depths to deeply hydrate, visibly plump, and maintain moisture levels throughout the day.
• Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) - A rich emollient that deeply nourishes, softens, and helps maintain skin's natural moisture balance.
• Squalane - A lightweight, non-greasy emollient that prevents moisture loss and keeps skin soft and supple without clogging pores.
• Ceramide (Ceramide NG) - Restores the skin's lipid barrier to lock in moisture and protect against irritation and transepidermal water loss. 
• Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil) - Rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and essential fatty acids that nourish skin and support overall skin health and radiance.
• Evening Primrose (Oenothera Biennis Oil) - Rich in essential fatty acids that support the moisture barrier and help soothe dry, sensitive skin. 
• Centella Asiatica Extract - Soothes and calms skin, supports barrier repair, and helps improve overall skin resilience.
• Arnica (Arnica Montana Flower Extract) - Helps reduce redness and inflammation while supporting skin recovery and comfort.
• Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum Extract) - A potent antioxidant that helps protect skin from oxidative stress and supports overall skin health.
• Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil) - A nourishing emollient rich in fatty acids that softens and conditions skin.
• Willow Bark (Salix Alba Bark Extract) - A natural source of salicin that complements cell turnover and helps calm skin sensitivity.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) - An antioxidant that works synergistically with Ferulic Acid to protect skin from free radical damage.
• Adenosine - Helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting overall skin firmness. 

How To Use

Use morning and night. Massage into clean, dry skin. Work down to the neck and décolletage. Follow with SPF during daytime use.

Why MASC Recommends This

Most moisturizers hydrate. This one hydrates and actively works on your skin's structure at the same time. The Phyto-Retinol Blend does the heavy lifting on collagen, cell turnover, and wrinkle reduction, while an exceptionally well-rounded supporting cast - four forms of Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides, Shea Butter, Sea Buckthorn, Evening Primrose, and Sweet Almond Oil - ensures the texture and hydration delivery matches the anti-aging ambition. The matte finish makes it practical for daytime use without looking greasy, and the sensitive skin compatibility means it works for a broader range of skin types than most retinol-containing moisturizers. If you want your moisturizer to do more than moisturize, this is the upgrade.
