Retinoid Complex Renewal Serum 0.5% — Serum

Retinoid Complex Renewal Serum 0.5%

Serum

Together, HPR and Bakuchiol form the Retinoid Renewal Complex 0.5%, offering an improved balance of efficacy and tolerance.
A gentler way in, for skin not ready for traditional retinol. Hydroxypinacolone retinoate drives the renewal, bakuchiol adds plant-derived antioxidant support, and five hyaluronic acid technologies with jojoba oil keep skin comfortable through the adjustment, so lines and tone soften without the usual trade-off. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF every morning.

Benefits
  • Improves skin texture: Helps refine uneven skin texture for a softer feel.
  • Reduces signs of aging: Supports the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Boosts radiance: Helps minimize hyperpigmentation for a more uniform complexion.
  • Deeply hydrates: Delivers multi-level moisture with five hyaluronic acid technologies.
  • Supports skin comfort: Jojoba oil helps reinforce the skin barrier for a soft, non-greasy finish.
How to Use

Use in the evening only, as the final active step of your nighttime ritual.

Cleanse and gently pat the skin dry. Retinoids work best on clean, dry skin.

Dispense a small amount, about the size of a pea, and warm it between your fingertips.

Apply evenly across the face, avoiding the immediate eye area and lips.

Follow with your usual moisturizer to lock in hydration.

Ingredients
  • Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR): an advanced retinoid that delivers visible renewal benefits while being gentler than traditional retinoids, with anti-aging and blemish-reducing benefits and improved skin tone.
  • Bakuchiol: a plant-derived antioxidant that complements the retinoid and supports smoother, more even-looking skin and a brighter complexion.
  • Tranexamic Acid: a synthetic amino acid beneficial for reducing dark spots and uneven skin tone.
  • Jojoba Oil: closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, supporting the skin barrier and adding lightweight hydration without a greasy finish.
  • Hyalomatrix™: a comprehensive hyaluronic acid complex that combines five hyaluronic acid technologies for multi-level hydration and enhanced moisture retention.
