What it is

A creamy retinol complex formulated to improve visible texture, uneven tone, and fine lines while buffering dryness with humectants and soothing support.

Who it's for

• Normal, combination, or slightly dry skin ready for mid-strength retinol care.
• Users transitioning from beginner retinol to a more advanced retinoid blend.
• Those seeking resurfacing benefits with a cushioned, hydrating base.

Key ingredients (INCI)

• Retinol complex (encapsulated retinol + supportive retinoids) — targets texture, tone, and fine lines.
• Encapsulation system — modulates release to help improve tolerability.
• Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate — humectants to maintain hydration during retinoid use.
• Soothing components (e.g., panthenol, centella derivatives) — support comfort and barrier feel.

Free-from / texture

• Fragrance-free, alcohol-free base.
• Cream texture that absorbs without a greasy film.
• Designed for nightly use with a breathable, cushioned finish.

How to use & order

• Use at night on clean, dry skin after toner/essence has fully dried.
• Apply a pea-sized amount for the face; avoid the eye area unless directed otherwise.
• Follow with moisturizer to buffer. Always apply SPF the next morning.

Conflicts & layering tips

• Do not combine with other retinoids or strong exfoliating acids in the same routine.
• Introduce slowly if using vitamin C or benzoyl peroxide; alternate days or separate routines.
• Use hydrating, barrier-supportive products and avoid over-cleansing to minimize dryness.

Evidence & notes

• Retinol is well-studied for improving signs of photoaging and texture; encapsulation can improve tolerability.
• Results depend on consistent use and sun protection; expect gradual visible changes over weeks to months.
• Hydration and buffering help manage the typical dryness associated with retinoids.

Safety

• For external use only; stop use if persistent redness, peeling, or irritation occurs.
• Patch test before first use; avoid broken or compromised skin.
• Use sunscreen daily; retinoids can increase sun sensitivity.
• Pregnancy/breastfeeding: retinoids are typically avoided; consult your clinician for personal guidance.
