The ideal Retinol for beginners to introduce your skin to this powerful ingredient. Specially formulated with a slow-release, less irritating form of Retinol, the skin-renewing serum targets first signs of aging and hyperpigmentation. Working to visibly improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and overall skin tone and texture with continued improvement over time.​ ​

Hero ingredient Retinyl Acetate is a derivative of vitamin A and works to gently resurface and enhance surface skin cell turnover, improving appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. This form of slow-release Retinol has been specifically chosen as a gentler anti ageing serum option. The added Squalane, a key antioxidant ingredient, provides additional hydrating and soothing benefits whilst helping to smooth skin's appearance.​ ​

If you are looking to reduce the appearance of post-acne scars, wrinkles and dark spots, once your skin is comfortable with our Retinol Serum, upgrade to the next level with our higher-strength Scar, Mark, and Wrinkle Solution with 1% Retinol.

    Great so far

    I’ve been using this for a month or so and have definitely noticed an improvement in my skin. The lines around my mouth area don’t seem some prominent and I have a spot of pigmentation in my cheek which has faded a lot. Will continue to use

    Gentle and effective

    The only retinol treatment that doesn't dry out my skin. I apply it after my moisturizer, then add a layer of moisturizer 15-30 minutes later. The next day, but the skin is not dry at all. It's perfect for me.

    Reduced visible fine lines

    A little goes a long way, use caution if you have sensitive skin. Follow instructions and you should have smooth skin without fine lines
