How to Use
-
Prep: Apply to a clean, dry face after toning.
-
Apply: Smooth a pea-sized amount over the face, avoiding the delicate eye and lip areas.
-
The "Slow Start": If you are new to retinol, use it 2–3 times a week at night, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
-
Protect: Always follow with a rich moisturizer and apply SPF 30+ the next morning, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.
Ingredients
Retinol (Vitamin A): The Gold Standard for Skin Regeneration Retinol is a powerhouse derivative of Vitamin A renowned for its ability to accelerate cell turnover and stimulate collagen synthesis. By encouraging the skin to renew itself, it effectively diminishes the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, and enlarged pores. It is the go-to ingredient for anyone seeking a firmer, more youthful complexion through science-backed anti-aging care.
Bakuchiol: The Natural, Plant-Based Retinol Alternative Often celebrated as a "clean beauty" breakthrough, Bakuchiol is a botanical extract that offers clinical results similar to retinol but without the risk of redness, peeling, or skin sensitivity. This gentle yet potent ingredient improves skin texture and targets hyperpigmentation, making it the perfect retinol alternative for those with sensitive skin or those looking for a pregnancy-safe* glow.
