What is the difference between our regular and advanced retinol:

🌸 Regular (Pink Range) Retinol 🌸 Meet the trusty sidekick! Made with vitamin A palmitate, this version takes a little longer to unleash its magic because it has to undergo more conversions when applied to your skin. It's mild, gentle and perfect for those with sensitive skin or for Retinol beginners before moving on to the advanced version.

💥 Advanced (Professional Range) Retinol 💥 Enter the superhero of skincare! This retinol is like a magic potion for your skin. It undergoes just two conversions to Retinoic Acid – talk about efficiency! It's your go-to solution for dark marks, textured skin, anti-ageing, acne and post-acne marks. This potent serum delivers amazing results, but if you are a babe with sensitive skin we recommend you start with the pink range and work up to this advanced version.

Benefits:

Anti-Aging: minimises fine lines and wrinkles
Improves uneven skin tone and brightens dull skin
Reduces the appearance of large pores
Clears and unclogs pores
Improves skin texture for softer & smoother skin
Improves collagen production
Reduces post-acne scarring
Helps to manage the symptoms of acne by increasing cell turnover and decreasing oil production

How to use

Apply 3-4 drops after toner on clean, dry skin, before oil-based serums, and moisturiser.

Recommended use: 2-3 times a week. Once you've built tolerance, daily use is okay, but be sure to avoid clashing ingredients. Nighttime use is recommended, but it's suitable for day and night. Always use SPF50

If you are new to Retinol: start with our 0.3% Regular Retinol and work your way up to the Advanced Retinol.

Combinations (Besties & No-No's)

We recommend a 4 day skin cycling routine where you can use an exfoliant on day 1 (E.g AHA's or BHA's) and Retinol on day 2. Days 3 & 4 are rest days.

HERO INGREDIENTS

0.3% Retinol

A liposoluble (oil soluble) Vitamin A derivative that converts to Retinoic Acid once applied to the skin. It stimulates collagen production, promotes skin renewal, and helps to inhibit MMP expression, preventing premature aging. Our Retinol is modern grade making it more sustainable, free of BHA and BHT, and stabilised with a naturally derived mix of alkanes and a potent version of Tocopherols.
2% Niacinamide

Balances ceramides and fatty acids, reducing TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss) and maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Diminishes dark marks, protects against environmental stress, and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
1% Hyaluronic Acid

A super potent humectant that hydrates and nourishes skin cells, locking in moisture and providing an immediate plumping effect. Helps maintain a healthy concentration of Hyaluronic Acid in and on the skin, preventing water loss and keeping the skin moisturized.
