How it delivers
The Skin Formulas Retinol A+ Serum delivers a targeted night-time treatment designed to help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin texture, and loss of firmness. It supports a smoother, more refined complexion while helping to promote a more even skin tone and improved overall radiance. With consistent use, it helps the skin appear renewed, healthier, and more youthful-looking over time.

How it feels
It feels like a lightweight, silky serum that absorbs easily into the skin without heaviness or residue. The texture is smooth and comfortable, designed for evening use and layering well with moisturiser. It leaves the skin feeling conditioned and supported rather than dry or tight when used as directed.

How it works
This serum works using retinol alongside supporting ingredients to encourage skin renewal and improve the appearance of ageing and uneven texture. Retinol helps to speed up the skin’s natural exfoliation process, supporting smoother-looking skin and improving clarity over time. It also works alongside hydrating and soothing components to help maintain skin comfort while supporting overall skin renewal and refinement.

In the evening as your step 3, apply 1 pump of Retinol A+ Serum to the skin. Apply once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated. Follow with a night time moisturiser.

Liposomal Retinol:
A next-generation, encapsulated retinol that delivers visible results, without the usual signs of irritation. Encased in a liposomal structure that mimics the skin’s own cell membranes, this advanced formula ensures retinol reaches the deeper layers of the skin, enhancing efficacy and stability.

Vitamin E:
Antioxidant that provides soothing and moisturising benefits, enhancing overall skin barrier function.

Squalane:
A skin-identical emollient that reinforces the lipid barrier, and locks in moisture.

Rosa Damascena Flower Extract:
Revitalises the skin while providing soothing effects and enhancing its natural glow. Rich in antioxidants, it supports healthy skin by minimising the appearance of pores and boosting radiance.
