Key Ingredients
- Retinol (0.5%): A vitamin A derivative that accelerates skin turnover to improve firmness, clarity, and tone
- Squalane: Biomimetic emollient that boosts suppleness and offsets retinol-related dryness

- Jojoba Seed Oil: Balancing oil that provides additional cushion and helps maintain a comfortable feel
- Tomato Fruit Extract: Antioxidant support to help defend against environmental stressors
How to Use
- PM only. After cleansing and fully drying skin, apply a few drops to face and neck.
- Follow with a simple moisturizer; avoid using other strong actives in the same routine.
- Start 2–3 nights per week, then increase frequency as tolerated.
- Use sunscreen every morning while using retinol. Avoid the eye area and any broken or compromised skin.

worked quickly for breakouts but was badly burnt
This product was effective in stopping my very frequent breakouts but I was badly burnt . Thinking of trying the lower percentage . and see if that works . I only recommended if you do not have very sensitive skin .

Accidentally frozen
Ive accidentally frozen my retinol in squalene , it got thick and icy, can I put it in room temperature and use it once it gets back to the liquid form or it will damage its formula ?

Takes time but it is worth it
My sensitive and very very dry skin loves this product. I've been using this for over a year now (new bottle every 3 months as it expires) and the change in my skin great. The only thing is it makes your skin super super sensitive to the sun so I will probably stop using it for the summer.
