Most retinols hit your skin barrier all at once. That’s why your skin freaked out before, it was too strong, too fast.
This one absorbs gradually so your skin stays calm while still getting results.
Formulated with micro-encapsulated retinol + hydrating botanicals to strengthen your barrier, not destroy it.

Why this formula
The gentle retinol your skin can actually handle
- ✔ Slow-release retinol that delivers results without the burn.
- ✔ Barrier-supporting formula with hydrating ingredients to keep skin calm.
- ✔ No purge, no heavy peeling — designed for sensitive and first-time retinol users.
- ✔ Clinically inspired, gentle results for fine lines, texture and tone.
You may notice smoother and softer skin within the first few uses. With consistent nightly use, visible improvements in texture and radiance can appear in 2–4 weeks. Everyone’s skin renews at its own pace!
Yes! Our formula is dermatologist-inspired and balanced with hydrating ingredients to help minimize dryness or irritation. If you have very sensitive skin, start by using it every other night to allow your skin to adjust.
Absolutely. Apply your serum after cleansing and before moisturizer. It pairs well with hydrating serums, niacinamide, and gentle moisturizers — avoid layering it with other strong actives like exfoliating acids at the same time.
We are currently in our early release phase and using lab packaging before our final branded packaging arrives. The bottle may not be filled to the very top — this is intentional and follows laboratory standards to protect the stability of the active retinol. You are receiving the full active formula volume, identical to what will be in our final retail version.
Early access members are receiving this formula first (at a discounted rate) before our full brand launch.
It’s best to use retinol at night, as sunlight can reduce its effectiveness. If you do use it in the morning, always follow with SPF protection to keep your skin safe and glowing.
