Retinol is renowned for its anti-ageing benefits. It stimulates collagen production and enhances skin turnover, effectively reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and preventing acne and breakouts. The formula also contains plant-derived squalane to deeply moisturise and protect the skin from environmental influences and tocotrienol (vitamin E) to mitigate visible signs of ageing and skin damage. The product is housed in a glass bottle with a dropper that ensures you always get the right amount.

The Best Way To Use It:

To apply, in the evening, dispense 1-2 drops of the product onto your face and use your fingertips to gently pat it in, starting from the centre of your face and working outward. As retinol is a potent active ingredient, it is best to slowly incorporate it into your skincare routine. Start using it 2-3 times a week and apply 1-2 drops to targeted areas. After your skin has adjusted, you can gradually increase usage to every other night and apply it to your entire face. It is recommended to refrigerate the product after opening.

The Sustainable Side:

The glass bottle and cardboard box can be recycled.
