Key Ingredients

Retinol (0.15%) – A vitamin A derivative that promotes cell turnover, helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and supports a more even skin tone and texture.

Niacinamide – Strengthens the skin barrier, reduces redness, and helps minimize the appearance of pores while counteracting potential retinol-induced irritation.

Ceramides – Help lock in moisture and support the skin's natural protective barrier, especially important when using active ingredients like retinol.

How to Use

1. Start with clean, completely dry skin (retinol works best on dry skin)
2. Apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck, avoiding the eye area
3. Use 2–3 times per week initially, then gradually increase frequency as skin builds tolerance
4. Always use broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases sun sensitivity
5. Evening application is recommended; wait 20 minutes after cleansing before applying
