the science

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 5% does several things at once: it supports the barrier, evens out tone, and helps where blemishes have left a darker mark. All of it while you sleep.

Retinol

We chose 0.2% retinol, with 0.3% retinyl palmitate alongside it. Deliberately not stronger: retinol only works if you keep using it, and that only happens if your skin tolerates it.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E at 1% is there for comfort. It is an antioxidant that also conditions, so skin stays soft instead of feeling dry by morning.

how to use

Apply 1 pump to clean, dry skin in the evening, face and neck. Dry matters here: damp skin absorbs more, and with retinol more absorption means more irritation, not better results.

Start with two or three nights a week for the first fortnight. If your skin is comfortable, build up to nightly. Follow with Dewy Dream, or any moisturiser, to seal it in.

Skip it on nights you use an exfoliating acid, and wear SPF the next morning (as you always should).

when it helps most

Evening only

Retinol makes skin more sensitive to sun, and it does its work while you sleep anyway.

After a breakout

Retinol and niacinamide work together so the marks left after a breakout fade faster.

Stressed skin

Short nights, long weeks, too much city. Skin gets dull and congested before it gets anything more dramatic, and this is the step that works on it while you sleep.

frequently asked questions

When will I see results?

Texture usually shifts first, around four to six weeks of consistent use. Tone and post-blemish marks take longer, closer to eight to twelve weeks. Retinol is slow by nature, and anything promising faster is overselling.

I've tried retinol before and my skin hated it. Is this different?

Possibly. Most bad retinol experiences come from starting too strong, too often, on skin that had no support. This is a moderate concentration with 5% niacinamide and vitamin E built in to calm alongside it. Start at two nights a week and build from there.

Can I use it in the morning?

No. Retinol increases sun sensitivity, so this is an evening product. If you want something for daytime, Protective Power is the morning serum.

Do I need SPF?

Yes. Retinol makes skin more sensitive to UV, so daily SPF is not optional while you are using it. Daily Defense is the final morning step.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. Topical retinoids are generally advised against during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Stop using it and check with your doctor or midwife if you are unsure.

Can I use it with vitamin C or exfoliating acids?

Keep them on separate nights, or use vitamin C in the morning. Using too many strong ingredients in one routine is the quickest way to irritate your skin, and you can no longer tell what is working.

The serum has turned yellow. Is it still good?

Yes. The yellow colour is inherent to the retinol. Retinol darkens over time, that is simply what the molecule does. The airless pump slows it down considerably by keeping air and light out, but a warmer colour is normal and not a sign the formula has failed.

Is it vegan and fragrance free?

Yes to both. Also free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, microplastics and essential oils. 94% of the formula is of natural origin, and the pH is 5.8. It contains vitamin A, so consider your total daily intake across all products.

How long will one bottle last?

With nightly use, roughly three months. The airless pump means you get the last of it out at the quality of the first pump.

Why does this have a faint smell if it's fragrance free?

Fragrance free means we have not added any. What you are smelling is the formula itself: retinol, vitamin E, soybean and sunflower oil all have a natural scent, and plant oils in particular carry a slightly nutty, faintly waxy note. It is subtle, it fades within a minute of application, and it is not a sign that anything has gone off.
