LOSS OF VOLUME: we lose collagen as we age

UNEVEN TEXTURE

DEEP DARK MARKS: lines and marks deepen over time

How it Works

What It Does

✅ Targets: uneven texture, early lines, post-blemish roughness, dullness.

✅ Targets fine lines
post-blemish roughness

✅ Supports cell-turnover and collagen pathways.

Science Mechanism

⚡️ Retinyl palmitate converts in skin to active retinoids that support cell-turnover and collagen pathways.

⚡️ Rosehip delivers natural retinoid precursors and lipids.

⚡️ Borage provides gamma-linolenic acid to calm and support the barrier - key for deeper tones prone to PIH from irritation.

Ingredients

Proprietary

Melanin-Rich Skin Notes

Balanced retinoid strength + barrier lipids helps reduce irritation that can trigger PIH. Start 2 nights/week and build tolerance. Alternate with NUWR on non-retinoid nights if targeting dark spots. Do not combine with strong exfoliants in the same routine.

What You Should Know

Day 1–3

Comforted barrier

Feels cushy and nourished; tightness calms as borage (GLA) and rosehip EFA’s soften dryness. No “retinoid purge” expected at this strength.

Week 2

Texture behaves

Flakiness, if any, is mild and transient; skin looks more supple and makeup sits smoother from improved barrier lipids.

Week 8–12

Subtle smoothness

Early refinement in fine surface lines and a touch more even tone as retinyl palmitate slowly converts along the retinoid pathway.

Week 12–16+

Healthy-aging gains

Noticeable softening of fine lines, steadier tone, and better bounce; post-blemish marks clear a bit faster when paired with daily SPF and your brightening serum. Maintain 3–5×/week, then build to nightly as tolerated.

What Women Like You Are Asking

While you may see improvements in skin texture and brightness sooner (around 4-6 weeks), more significant changes to fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots take longer as they rely on consistent cell turnover and collagen production.

Yes. This is a gentler retinoid designed specifically for darker skin tones prone to rebound and PIH. It is in a lipid base to minimise irritation. Introduce gradually and moisturise as needed.

No. Retinoids are generally avoided during pregnancy/breastfeeding. Do not use. Consult your healthcare provider.

PM only. Start 2–3 nights/week; increase as tolerated. Buffer with moisturiser if needed.

No. It refines by renewal. No bleaching agents.
A brief adjustment phase is possible. Reduce frequency, buffer with moisturiser, and build up as tolerated.

Yes. Use this to tackle shaving bumps and spots.

This is see-through oil. It does not leave any cast on your skin.

Do not layer other retinoids. Alternate nights with acids. NUWR (ethyl-VC) on alternate nights is fine.
