A lightweight, gel-like, fast-absorbing retinol serum made for people who are new to retinol or want a gentler experience. It pairs 0.1% retinol with bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative, to support the skin’s natural renewal, so the look of fine lines, uneven texture, and enlarged pores improves and skin looks smoother, firmer, and more even over time. Panthenol, soybean oil, birch sap, and allantoin keep skin hydrated and comfortable, and a botanical flower extract blend soothes, so the formula is designed to minimize dryness and irritation. The texture is non-sticky and non-greasy, with no residue. It suits all skin types, especially sensitive, dry, and combination skin, and beginners. The formula contains lavender and other botanical extracts.
Key ingredients:
-
Retinol (0.1%): supports skin renewal and the look of lines and firmness over time
-
Bakuchiol: supports smoother texture and a more even tone, and complements the retinol
-
Panthenol, soybean oil, and birch sap: hydrate, soothe, and support the barrier
-
Allantoin and flower extracts (chamomile, cornflower, lavender, clary): calm the skin
How to use: In the evening, after cleansing and toner, apply a small amount to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Tap lightly to help it absorb, then follow with moisturizer. If you are new to retinol or sensitive, start 2-3 nights a week and build up gradually. You can also use the sandwich method: moisturizer, then serum, then moisturizer. Always use sunscreen in the morning. Mild, temporary dryness or slight peeling can happen when you start. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Check with your doctor.
Best for: Fine lines, early signs of aging, rough or uneven texture, loss of firmness, and anyone starting retinol.
