A slow-release retinol serum designed to refine skin texture, support skin cell renewal and improve signs of ageing—without irritation. With a soothing aloe vera base, this nourishing formula contains vegetable glycerin, a skin-identical ingredient and natural humectant to lock in moisture, working while you sleep to nurture skin impacted by sun damage, congestion or the early signs of ageing.

How To Use
Apply 2–3 pumps to clean, dry skin at night, avoiding the eye area. Begin with 2–3 uses per week, gradually increasing as tolerated. Follow with your chosen IF moisturiser. Always apply SPF during the day when using retinol products.
We recommend patch testing if you have sensitive skin.
