Benefits
  • Accelerates skin renewal to soften the look of fine lines and uneven texture
  • Targets blemish-prone areas while supporting a clearer, more balanced complexion
  • Promotes firmer, more elastic-looking skin with a radiant, even tone
  • Lightweight emulsion absorbs quickly without greasy residue or heavy feel
How to use
  • PM: After cleansing and drying skin, apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
  • Start 2–3 nights per week; increase to nightly as tolerated.
  • Follow with a simple moisturizer; skip other strong actives the same night.
  • AM: Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily while using retinal.
  • Do not use with other retinoids; patch test before first use.
Ingredients
  • Retinal (0.2%): High-potency vitamin A that converts efficiently to retinoic acid for rapid visible results
  • Squalane: Cushions skin and helps counter potential dryness from actives
  • Lipid Emulsifiers: Enhance delivery and reduce irritation by supporting the skin barrier
  • Glycerin: Attracts water to maintain a comfortable, well-plumped complexion
