Ingredients and how they help
- Retinol — a vitamin A derivative that helps improve the appearance of fine lines and skin elasticity by encouraging turnover and renewal.
- Bakuchiol — a plant-based alternative that supports retinol benefits with less irritation for many users.
- Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil — hydrates and nourishes while helping to soften the skin’s surface.
- Allantoin — soothes, helps hydrate, and may aid in calming redness or dryness.
- Acmella Oleracea Extract — known for potential smoothing and soothing properties.
- Other nourishing ingredients (glycerin, squalane-derived components, and emollients) work together to support a comfortable, non-stripping feel.
Usage tips and who this is for
- Gently massage onto clean skin after serums. Use 3-4 times per week at night.
- Layering with other acids (AHAs, BHAs) and retinoids may heighten skin sensitivity — discontinue use or adjust your routine.
- Apply SPF during the daytime to protect newly renewing skin.
- External use only. Avoid the eye area.
- Test a small area first to check tolerance, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
The product’s 30 mL size makes it easy to integrate into a gradual retinoid routine, and the fragrance-free formula helps reduce irritants for sensitive skin types. For best results, pair with a hydrating serum and a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
Safety and storage notes: keep out of reach of children. Follow the included product instructions for specific usage and any cautions related to your skin type.
