Description:
A gentle yet high-performance retinal serum designed to visibly refine pores, smooth texture, and support firmer-looking skin without the harshness often associated with traditional retinoids.

Powered by Retin-A Complex™ 2%, this advanced formula combines Retinal, Caffeine, Ectoin, Peptides, and barrier-supporting lipids to help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and tired-looking skin while maintaining hydration and skin comfort.

Using advanced LDH nano-encapsulation and multi-liposome technology, the formula helps deliver retinal deeper into the skin for enhanced absorption and longer-lasting efficacy while minimizing irritation. The lightweight cream-serum texture absorbs smoothly, leaving skin feeling soft, refined, and comfortably hydrated.

  • Smile lines improved by 44.12%
  • Eye wrinkles improved by 16.58%
  • Neck wrinkles improved by 14.93%

* Based on the instrumental and self-report evaluation of 22 subjects. Individual results may vary

Hero ingredients

Retinal (Vitamin A)
A next-generation retinoid that helps support skin renewal, improve visible firmness, smooth texture, and soften the appearance of fine lines.

Ectoin
A protective stress-response molecule that helps soothe irritation, defend against environmental stressors, and maintain hydration balance.

Caffeine
Helps energise dull, fatigued-looking skin, reduce the appearance of puffiness, and improve microcirculation for a smoother, more awake complexion.

Bakuchiol
A plant-derived retinoid alternative that helps promote skin renewal and supports the effects of Retinal with a gentler profile.

8-Peptide Complex
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-2, Hexapeptide-9, Tripeptide-1, Pentapeptide-3, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, and Copper Tripeptide-1 work together to support collagen integrity, improve skin firmness, and help reduce the visible signs of ageing.

Barrier Complex
Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, and Fatty Acids work together to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss during retinal use.

What this does for your skin

As skin ages, cell turnover naturally slows down, which can contribute to rough texture, visible pores, dullness, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Traditional retinoids can also feel overwhelming for sensitive or first-time users.

Formulated with Retinal (Vitamin A), this serum helps support skin renewal to visibly smooth texture, refine pores, and improve firmness. Caffeine helps refresh tired-looking skin and reduce the appearance of puffiness, while Ectoin helps calm irritation and support the skin barrier against environmental stress.

A blend of Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, and Fatty Acids helps reinforce the moisture barrier to reduce dryness and improve overall skin resilience during retinal use.
