-
Reduces Hyperpigmentation: Retinol helps fade dark spots, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone and a brighter complexion.
-
Gentle on Sensitive Skin: With a low concentration of retinol (0.1%), this serum is formulated to minimize irritation, making it a great choice for those with sensitive skin or those new to retinol.
-
Prevents Acne: Retinol helps to unclog pores and prevent the formation of acne, making it beneficial for those prone to breakouts.
-
Hydrating and Nourishing: This serum also hydrates and nourishes the skin, helping to maintain a healthy moisture balance while addressing signs of aging and skin imperfections.
How to Use:
- After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount of the serum to your face, avoiding the eye area.

- Follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration and reduce any potential dryness.
- Begin by using the serum 2–3 times per week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
