Squalane + Retinol Night Serum
Advanced retinol + retinal serum that improves fine lines, blemishes and dark spots with minimal irritation.
287An innovative formula with an encapsulated duo of time-release retinol and retinal, working to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, and texture, with minimal irritation. Paired with a squalane and saffron antioxidant blend to hydrate skin & boost radiance.
- Effective retinol serum for sensitive skin types made with non-irritating, sustainably-sourced ingredients, including squalane, saffron, rosemary, sunflower, rice bran and vitamin E.
- Optimized by both squalane and an antioxidant blend to help deliver and enhance the results of the retinol and retinal, keeping the skin hydrated, with minimal irritation.
- Time release technology, squalane and a powerful blend of antioxidants, proves to be an effective delivery system that allows the retinoids to penetrate more deeply into the skin while being gradually released over 8 hours, gently delivering dramatically visible results.
Retinoids are not recommended for those pregnant or nursing; always consult a physician before using new products.
Directions:
- Apply pea-size amount to clean, dry skin at night.
- Start by using 2x per week and gradually increase.
- Apply sunscreen the following morning after use.

Retinoids are the group of Vitamin A derivatives that have been proven to stimulate cell renewal, increase collagen production and improve collagen density. The active ingredient of Vitamin A is retinoic acid. Your skin is only able to use retinoids that are—or can be converted to—retinoic acid, because retinoic acid works by binding to retinoic acid receptors found on the outer membrane of cells. This serum contains two powerfully gentle retinoid ingredients, retinaldehyde and retinol. Retinaldehyde needs only one conversion to retinoic acid in the skin. Retinol goes through two conversions, first to retinaldehyde then it is converted to retinoic acid. The retinaldehyde in this formula is time released to ensure maximum stability and absorption while allowing the Vitamin A active to be released gradually into the skin while you sleep for minimal irritation.
-
We recommend this serum in evening use because retinol and retinal can cause sensitivity to the sun. It is also important to wear a daily sunscreen every morning and reapply during the day.

Yes, our Squalane + Retinol Night Serum is made with sustainably-sourced ingredients that are safe for people and the planet. This serum is best for those concerned with signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Can be used as a preventative and corrective treatment. It should not be used while pregnant.
-
We recommend using Squalane + Retinol Night Serum in the evening and choosing a day serum, like our Squalane + Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum or Squalane + Copper Peptide Serum. Be sure to start using a small, pea size quantity of retinol when starting out, even alternating between the nights used. Since our retinol is a powerful serum, we don't recommend layering with other treatment products, but encourage you to layer with other moisturizers and oils.

Retinol and retinal work together to increase performance and minimize irritation of the skin for powerful, yet gentle results.

Not impressed
For the price point I thought this would have been a great night time serum but using it regularly I see no difference and the packaging isn’t the best. The top(pump) basically comes off every time you take the cap off. It is a very gental retinol so those that have more sensitive skin this make work really well for. I have been using chemical exfoliants for yrs soy skin isore seasoned

United StatesDries me out
I bought this to try when I first saw it come out, and began using it three weeks ago.. once I ran out of the Phyto-retinol... I have previously used retinol years and years ago... With the highest available concentration over the counter, with those I typically peel the first few uses and then adjust with out any further irritation. During my three weeks I still wake up with dry patches after use (use it 3x a week), and I find I am now sensitive or feel a burning sensation when I use dark spot Vit C, lactic acid between uses or when I use this retinol. Maybe it's to do with my age, but I never experienced this before and this retinol is the only new thing I added to my regime. I plan to give it another week, it does noticably work, but I already have dry skin and this formula is making me sensitive to my other products and a constant red hue.

United StatesGentle
This is my first retinol product I've tried and I was prepared for all the phases of starting a retinol but I honestly have not had much discomfort with this product. I think I'm going on week 3 and I'm seeing a change in my skin and I'm pleased.

United StatesGreat regular retinoid
This stuff works great once your skin is used to it. I have sensitive skin and really had to start slow (1x a week for several weeks before building up), but after that, it really does brighten and tone the skin!
