Encapsulated Retinol + B5 Serum

Product Information

Whether you are dealing with acne, rough texture, post-acne marks, or early signs of aging, this serum offers a clinical yet gentle solution.

At the core of the formula is 1% encapsulated retinol, delivered through advanced Time Release Technology. This allows gradual penetration into the skin, helping to increase cell turnover, unclog pores, and reduce fine lines — without overwhelming or irritating the skin.

To balance the effects of retinol, the formula includes 5% panthenol (B5) to hydrate and repair the skin barrier, and 2% niacinamide (B3) to calm inflammation, control oil, and improve uneven skin tone. Stabilized vitamin C provides antioxidant protection while supporting brighter and healthier-looking skin.

The formula is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for regular nighttime use.

Backed by a UK-certified cosmetic scientist, this serum is designed for those who want effective retinol results with better skin tolerance and long-term use.

Instructions of Use

Step 1: Cleanse
Wash your face with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser. Pat dry.

Step 2: Apply serum
Apply the serum at night on clean, dry skin as the first step after cleansing.

Step 3: Build tolerance
If you are new to retinol or have sensitive skin, start 2–3 times per week and increase to nightly as your skin builds tolerance.

Step 4: Follow with moisturizer
Always follow with a simple moisturizer to lock in hydration and support your barrier.

Step 5: Apply sunscreen
During the day, sunscreen is a must while using retinol to protect your skin and prevent sensitivity.

Extra Tip (Moisture Sandwich Method):
For extra comfort in the early weeks, apply your moisturizer first, then the serum. This helps buffer the retinol and reduces any risk of dryness or irritation.
