Pure retinol at 0.3% with vitamin E. Odd texture, serious results.

Pure retinol rather than a weaker derivative, held stable in a silicone-oil network that protects it and gives it a powdery, cushiony finish people either love or find peculiar. Vitamin E alongside to nourish and to keep the retinol from degrading. Smooths fine lines, refines texture, softens pigmentation, with less of the dryness that puts people off retinol.

How to use: night only, on completely dry skin. A pea-sized amount, avoiding the eyes. Moisturiser once it’s absorbed. Start once or twice a week and build up. SPF every day without exception.

After a peel: use it instead of your repair cream for the three nights straight after treatment.
