Two retinoids in one bottle, built for nightly use without the usual sting. Most retinol serums make you choose between strong enough to work and gentle enough to use.
- Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate at 0.15%, which works quickly
- Encapsulated Retinol at 0.15%, released slowly through the night
- Coenzyme Q10 and Hyaluronic Acid
- D-panthenol, Vitamin E and Aloe Vera, so your barrier is looked after
How to use. 3 to 4 drops on clean, dry skin at night. Start at 2 to 3 nights a week and build up only once your skin is comfortable. Moisturiser after, sunscreen every morning.
Worth knowing. This is the strongest thing we make. Dryness or flaking in the first fortnight is normal. Burning, swelling or a rash is not, so stop and see a dermatologist.
Safety. Patch test 24 hours first, without exception. Not on the same night as another retinoid or an AHA or BHA. Do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
For: all skin types, at night. Oil free serum, 30 ml.

Safety
Safety
- This is the strongest thing we make. Please read all of this before your first night.
- Patch test 24 hours before first use, without exception.
- Start at 2 to 3 nights a week and build up only once your skin is comfortable.
- Keep it off the eye area, the lips, and any broken or peeling skin.
- Do not use it on the same night as another retinoid, or as an AHA or BHA exfoliant. Alternate nights instead.
- Wear sunscreen every morning. Retinoids make skin more sensitive to sun, and without it you undo the work.
- Do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Ask your doctor what to use instead.
- Some dryness or flaking in the first fortnight is normal. Burning, swelling or a rash is not. Stop and see a dermatologist.
- Store below 25C, away from direct sun, with the cap closed.
What it does
01
TWO RETINOIDS, NOT ONE
Hydroxypinacolone retinoate works quickly. Encapsulated retinol is released slowly through the night. They are paired rather than stacked.
02
BUILT FOR NIGHTLY USE
Coenzyme Q10, hyaluronic acid, D-panthenol, vitamin E and aloe are in the formula so your barrier is looked after while you use it.
03
MADE FOR TEXTURE AND FINE LINES
This is the step for fine lines, rough patches and dullness, not for active breakouts.
How to use
01
At night only, on clean dry skin.
02
Start 2 to 3 nights a week, then build up as skin settles.
03
3 to 4 drops, avoiding eyes, lips and broken skin.
04
Moisturiser after. Sunscreen the next morning, without fail.
The two that matter
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate
A retinoid ester that skin can use without converting it first. It is chosen in formulas aiming for retinoid activity with less of the usual sting.
Encapsulated Retinol
Retinol held inside a shell that opens gradually. The point of encapsulating it is a steady release overnight rather than one hit.
Questions
I have never used a retinol. Start here?
Go slowly if you do. Two nights a week for a fortnight, then three. If your skin stays comfortable, build from there.
What should I not mix it with?
Keep it off the same night as other retinoids or AHA and BHA exfoliants. Alternate nights instead so nothing competes.
Can I use it while pregnant?
No. Avoid retinoids during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and speak to your doctor about what to use instead.
