Our Starter Retinol contains a gentle, slow-release retinol formulation perfect for those new to vitamin A skincare. It's designed to introduce your skin gradually to retinol benefits with minimal irritation. Advanced Retinal features a more potent retinal (retinaldehyde) formula for experienced users who want enhanced anti-ageing results. The key difference is potency and your skin's tolerance level – start with Starter Retinol if you're new to retinoids, or choose Advanced Retinal if you're ready for the next level.
Our Starter Retinol Serum is specifically formulated for retinol beginners. This gentle introduction features slow-release technology that helps minimise potential irritation whilst delivering visible results. Start by using it 2-3 times per week in your evening routine, gradually building up frequency as your skin adapts. The lightweight serum format makes it easy to layer with your existing skincare routine. Learn which retinol product is right for you
Beginners: Start with our Starter Retinol 2-3 times per week, applying in the evening only. Gradually increase to every other night, then nightly as tolerated. Always use SPF during the day. Experienced users: Our Advanced Retinal can typically be used 4-5 times per week initially, working up to nightly use. If transitioning from another retinol, start conservatively and adjust based on your skin's response. Remember: consistency matters more than frequency. Better to use retinol regularly at a lower frequency than inconsistently at higher doses.
Retinol serums are clinically proven to address multiple skin concerns through enhanced skin cell turnover: Fine lines and wrinkles: Stimulates collagen production for smoother skin Uneven skin tone: Helps fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots Rough texture: Resurfaces skin for improved smoothness Enlarged pores: Regular use can minimise pore appearance Dullness: Reveals brighter, more radiant skin Our retinol collection targets these concerns with formulations suitable for different experience levels.
Safe combinations: Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides, and peptides work beautifully with retinol. Always apply retinol to clean skin, then layer hydrating ingredients on top. Avoid combining with: Vitamin C, AHA/BHA acids, and benzoyl peroxide in the same routine, as these can increase irritation risk. Pro tip: Use vitamin C in your morning routine and retinol at night for maximum benefits without interactions. Our retinol serums pair perfectly with hydrating serums and moisturisers. Learn what not to mix with retinol
Our retinol collection stands out through: Slow-release technology: Gradual delivery minimises irritation whilst maximising results Clear progression: From Starter Retinol to Advanced Retinal, we guide your retinoid journey Knowledge-first approach: Transparent formulations with clear usage guidance Accessible pricing: Professional-grade ingredients without premium pricing Beginner-friendly: Specifically formulated options for those new to vitamin A We believe effective anti-ageing skincare should be accessible to everyone, regardless of experience level.
