Remedy Science Hand & Cuticle Retinol Butter Cream — 0.1% Retinol, 2.25 fl oz | Fragrance-Free, 20% Shea Butter & Ceramides

This buttery hand cream was developed by dermatologist Dr. Shah to address the visible signs of aging and environmental damage on hands and cuticles without irritating sensitive skin. The formula pairs a stabilized, encapsulated form of retinol to encourage gentle surface renewal with high levels of nourishing shea butter and barrier-reinforcing ceramides. Fast-absorbing and non-greasy, the tube is sized for daily carry at 2.25 fl oz so you can treat hands throughout the day.

How does this hand cream improve the look of aging hands?

The encapsulated 0.1% retinol works to support surface cell turnover while remaining gentle on delicate skin. Combined with occlusive and repairing ingredients, the product helps soften the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture without a heavy finish.

• 0.1% encapsulated retinol for gradual surface renewal
• 20% shea butter for deep, long-lasting emollience
• Ceramides to rebuild and protect the skin barrier
• Fast-absorbing base avoids greasy residue so hands feel usable quickly

Will this cream irritate sensitive or reactive skin?

Formulated fragrance-free and tested on sensitive skin, the cream minimizes common irritants while using a low, encapsulated retinol dose to reduce the chance of irritation. Patch testing is still recommended for anyone with extreme sensitivity or retinoid reactions.

• Fragrance-free to limit irritation triggers
• Encapsulated retinol releases slowly for milder effects
• Dermatologist-developed by Dr. Shah with sensitive skin testing
• Suitable for hands and cuticles, where skin is thin and reactive

How and when should I use it for best results?

Apply a small amount to washed, dry hands and cuticles once daily—preferably in the evening when retinoids are most commonly used. During the day, pair with sunscreen on exposed hands; frequent application of the cream is fine whenever hands need restoration or extra moisture.

• Use nightly for retinol benefits; daytime use provides hydration and barrier support
• Squeeze-controlled tube allows precise, hygienic application
• Apply to cuticles and between fingers for targeted repair
• Follow with SPF on exposed hands during daytime

What texture and finish can I expect?

The formula feels rich to the touch but absorbs quickly, melting into the skin without leaving a heavy or slippery layer. It leaves hands feeling supple and protected, ready for daily tasks without a sticky or oily residue.

• Buttery, concentrated texture with rapid absorption
• Non-greasy finish suitable for daytime use
• Leaves skin soft, not tacky
• Convenient 2.25 fl oz tube fits in bags for on-the-go use

Who this is for: Remedy Hand and Cuticle Retinol Butter Cream is designed for people who want more than basic hydration — those looking to visibly soften lines, restore dry or rough hands, and strengthen the skin barrier while minimizing irritation. It’s appropriate for anyone with normal to sensitive hands who prefers a dermatologist-formulated, fragrance-free treatment that combines the renewing power of retinol with rich moisturizers and barrier lipids.
