CLINICALLY PROVEN TO

  • Target skin cell turnover + renewal
  • Even skin tone + texture
  • Firm + improve elasticity to reduce the appearance of fine lines
  • Improve overall skin health, targeting the signs of aging

0.3% PURE RETINOL

Retinol is a form of vitamin A - an essential micronutrient for new cell development that is clinically proven to target skin cell renewal, improve elasticity and combat signs of aging

BAKUCHIOL FROM BABCHI FLOWERS

A broad spectrum antioxidant and functional analog of retinol that shields retinol from reactive oxygen and improves the efficacy as well the skin's tolerance of retinol

LOOKS LIKE

Lightweight lotion

The formula glides on easily and absorbs quickly without residue. Powered with bakuchiol to improve skin compatibility, the formula minimizes irritation + the
redness / dryness typically associated with retinol

SMELLS LIKE

Nothing

We don’t add any fragrances to avoid sensitivity or irritation - added fragrances tend to be a common source of allergens in topical products

Use at night - we recommend the sandwich method for better skin tolerance: after cleansing, apply a hydrating serum before retinol and layer a rich moisturizer after (sandwiching the retinol between two layers of hydration)

Apply 2 pumps to clean face + neck and follow with moisturizer (always use SPF in the morning)

Tip: Start slow (2x per week) if new to retinol, building up to daily use as your skin adapts

How do I use this serum?

Apply 2 pumps at night to clean face and neck, avoiding direct eye contact and follow with moisturizer. Always apply SPF during daytime.

Tip: This serum contains an intermediate strength of retinol, suitable for sensitive skin, but it is always recommended to start slow with retinoids and increase frequency of use based on skin tolerance. To maximize tolerance, we recommend the sandwich method:

hydration (serum) + retinol + hydration (moisturizer)

Is it safe to use this serum on sensitive skin?

This serum has been safety tested on sensitive skin under dermatologist supervision but it is always recommended to take it slow with retinoids - if you have not used pure retinol before, we recommend patch testing on the back of your hands and starting slow, increasing frequency once your skin is acclimated.

When will I start seeing results after using this serum?

Everyone’s skin is different but based on clinical testing, it is normal to notice benefits (skin smoothness/fine lines) in as little as 4 weeks. Other long term benefits like improvement in skin firmness and overall skin health may take longer.

Should I pair this serum with sunscreen?

Yes, it is always recommended to apply sunscreen (with SPF 30 or higher) during the daytime.
Tip: Use retinol at night for better skin permeability and minimal sun sensitivity.

Can I use this serum daily?

Yes, this serum is safe for daily use but everyone’s skin tolerance is different.
It is always recommended to start slow with retinoids and increase frequency of use based on skin tolerance. If you're not sure about your skin tolerance yet, limit initial use to once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, then every night once your skin is acclimated.

To maximize tolerance, we recommend the sandwich method:
hydration (serum) + retinol + hydration (moisturizer)

Is this serum safe for beginners who have not used retinol before?

Yes, this serum is designed for beginners and users with sensitive skin.
0.3% pure retinol is considered the optimal effective concentration for beginners that does not put their skin at as much risk of irritation. However, if you're not sure about your skin tolerance yet, limit initial use to once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, then every night once your skin is acclimated.

At what age should I start using retinol?

There are no set rules on how old you should be to use retinol. You can start using retinol in your mid to late 20s as a preventive measure against early signs of aging. However, if you're dealing with acne, you can use it earlier (even in your teens) under a dermatologist’s guidance.

Is this serum safe to use during pregnancy?

Yes, this serum is considered as safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. However, if you’re uncertain about using any new skin care product or ingredient, please consult your physician.

How to use

Apply 2 pumps at night to clean face and neck. Follow with moisturizer. Always apply SPF during daytime.
Tip: Start slow (2x per week) if new to retinol, building up to daily use as your skin adapts
