Experience the power of Retinol with our beginner-friendly duo, designed to target early signs of aging and hyperpigmentation with minimal irritation. Featuring a gentle, slow-release formula, these skin-renewing serums promote a smoother, more radiant complexion. ​

The hero ingredient, Retinyl Acetate, a vitamin A derivative, supports skin cell turnover, helping to refine texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. This slow-release Retinol was specifically chosen as a gentler anti-aging serum option. Infused with squalane, a powerful antioxidant, it delivers deep hydration, soothes the skin, and enhances smoothness. ​

This duo includes: 2x Retinol Serums (30ml).

Suitable for:

  • All Skin Types

Targets:

  • Fine Lines & Wrinkles

  • Before and after comparison
    "So I must tell you my skin used to look really dull and highly pigmented. I came across your products specially having acne scars and spots I thought of going with Retinol Serum and Vitamin C Serum, and now I can't believe how my skin looks. It just boosted my confidence and makes me feel sooo good. Thank you!"

Reviews Summary
Customers say this serum has a gentle, smooth texture that absorbs well into skin. Many reviews mention seeing noticeable improvements in skin texture and appearance after consistent use. The lightweight formula works well in nighttime routines, with users gradually building up frequency of application. While most find it effective for their needs, some note it's quite liquid in consistency. Reviews indicate it layers well with other products. A few users report not seeing desired results, though most describe the formula as suitable for beginners. Common feedback highlights the product's gentle nature and how it leaves skin feeling soft in the morning.

    The retinol is not too strong for a beginner, did not cause breakouts

    Great so far

    I’ve been using this for a month or so and have definitely noticed an improvement in my skin. The lines around my mouth area don’t seem some prominent and I have a spot of pigmentation in my cheek which has faded a lot. Will continue to use

    Gentle and effective

    The only retinol treatment that doesn't dry out my skin. I apply it after my moisturizer, then add a layer of moisturizer 15-30 minutes later. The next day, but the skin is not dry at all. It's perfect for me.
