Why This Formula Works

The 0.15% retinol concentration provides targeted texture and firming care while remaining suitable for gradual introduction. Bakuchiol complements the retinol-focused formula, while panthenol, Centella Asiatica leaf water, ceramide NP, madecassoside and tocopherol help keep the skin feeling moisturised and comfortable.

Its lightweight, watery cream texture spreads easily and absorbs without leaving a noticeably greasy residue.

How to Use

1. Use during your evening skincare routine after cleansing, toner and serum.
2. Apply a small, pea-sized amount evenly over the face.
3. Avoid direct contact with the eyes, eyelids, lips and irritated areas.
4. Beginners should start two or three evenings per week and gradually increase according to skin tolerance.

The brand recommends applying it as the final step of the skincare routine and wearing sunscreen during the daytime.
