What is the difference between our regular and advanced retinol:

🌸 Regular (Pink Range) Retinol 🌸 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  magic for your skin. It undergoes just two conversions to Retinoic Acid.  It's your go-to solution for dark marks, textured skin, anti-ageing, breakout and post-breakout 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-breakout scarring
  • Helps to manage the symptoms of breakout by increasing cell turnover and decreasing oil production

Full Ingredients

Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Polysorbate 80, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor oil, Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopherol, Retinol, Undecane, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Sodium Phytate, Tridecane, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin

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)

Do not use in the same daily routine as the following products – AHA’s, BHA, Azelaic Acid, Vitamin C and Vitamin C derivatives.

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.

Cautions/Warnings

Patch test before use. Avoid contact with eyes. This product contains a retinoid, apply SPF during the day. Not recommended to use on or by children. Keep in a cool, dark place. NOT pregnancy safe.

    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.

    happy with my purchase!!

    It’s been a week since I started using the 0.3% Advanced Retinol in 1% Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide from Standard Beauty, and I wanted to share my first impressions.

    For full transparency, I’m posting my “before” picture since I’ve just started my retinol journey. Even though it’s early days, I’m honestly impressed!

    Formulation: I love that it’s a thoughtful blend of retinol, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. It’s gentle enough that I haven’t experienced any irritation, yet feels potent.
    Results so far: My skin already feels smoother to the touch. It’s too soon to talk about major changes, but I’m optimistic given how promising the first week has been.

    Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase. It’s exciting to find a local brand that delivers such high-quality skincare!

    Becoming celestial 😇

    This product right here is thee one besties. I swear even if I’ve run out of any other one of the Standard serums I use, this 1 I’ve got to ensure never runs out on me because WHAT⁉️ Since using this on my face I’ve noticed having not 1 wrinkle and as 33 year old I see people my age or even younger literally aging past me. The complements keep coming especially about my forehead area looking a smooth as balloon 🎈One of my colleagues actually said to me on Monday my facial skin has the glow of an angel 😇 and my response was “and thats on Standard chile”
