This deeply nourishing oil blends 0.5% pure, stabilized retinol with skin-loving squalane and antioxidant vitamin E, delivering powerful renewal without sacrificing comfort. Designed for intermediate retinol users, it targets deeper lines, loss of elasticity, uneven texture, and visible pores while cocooning skin in silky hydration. With nightly use, complexion appears smoother, firmer, and visibly more radiant — refined, resilient, and renewed.
Key Ingredients
Key Ingredients
Retinol (0.5 %): Stimulates collagen production and accelerates cell turnover — helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and improve skin firmness and texture.
Plant-derived Squalane: Softens and nourishes skin, supports barrier health and helps lock in moisture.
Super Vitamin E: Works as antioxidant support, helps protect skin from oxidative stress and supports skin resilience.
How To Use
How To Use
At night: After cleansing (and after lighter layers like toner/serum), apply 1–2 drops to clean, dry skin. Gently tap or massage into face, avoiding eyes and lips. Initially use 2–3 times per week, then gradually increase to every other night or more often if tolerated. Always use sunscreen during the day after use.

Very good results right away - I am pleasantly surprised.
My favorite retinol serum. It works really well under my eyes. I have only been using for a few weeks and can already see a difference. I use it every night and morning. I put it on after I wash my face and before my moisturizer. I will buy this again.
Always and forever
Favorite retinol! Love this product so much. Great hydration, absorbing, clears my skin of blemishes overnight and tightens wrinkles. My skin glows by morning & lasts 1-2 days. Amazing quality!
I wish I had looked at the full ingredients before I purchased. It has palm oil and sunflower oil which are very greasy and worst of all has BHT which can be toxic!
From Google:
Potential negative effects
Skin irritation and allergies: BHT can cause mild irritation, redness, itching, and even allergic reactions like contact dermatitis or hives.
Compromised skin: Reactions may be more likely in people with damaged or compromised skin.
Potential for other health concerns: Some research suggests potential long-term issues, such as endocrine disruption and toxic effects on the liver, kidneys, or lungs with high doses.
I’ve used it maybe four times and can’t tell if it’s doing anything. I use it last after several other products per instructions so not sure if it can even penetrate through those other products.
