About this product

A dermatologist-developed retinol treatment serum combining encapsulated retinol with lactic acid to reduce fine lines, improve texture, and boost radiance without excessive irritation.

How to use

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin at night, 2-3 times per week initially, building to nightly use. Always follow with SPF in the morning.

Encapsulated retinol paired with lactic acid delivers gradual, lower-irritation anti-aging exfoliation and collagen support, while hyaluronic acid and panthenol hydrate and soothe.
