Complimentary three-step discovery ritual with every order over $120
Three years of stability work went into this one formula. Retinal is the most direct precursor to retinoic acid, and also the least patient - it oxidises in light, in air and in the wrong pH. We hold 0.3% of it inside a lipid capsule that opens gradually on the skin, which keeps 94% of its potency at twelve months and softens the adjustment period most people associate with a retinoid.
The base does as much work as the active: squalane and ceramide NP to support the barrier while the retinal is working, and 4% panthenol to keep the first fortnight comfortable. In a 12-week user trial of 118 volunteers, 89% reported visibly smoother skin texture and 76% reported a reduction in the appearance of fine lines around the eye. Begin two evenings a week and build from there.

I am a dermatology nurse and I have started and abandoned four retinoids. This is the first one I got past week three with. No flaking, no stinging around the nose, and the texture change on my cheeks was obvious by the second month.
The 10% niacinamide is the only thing that has ever calmed the redness around my nose without making it worse first. It is not a dramatic product. It is just quietly better every month, and the pH being stated on the bottle is why I bought it.
No cast on my skin tone, which has never been true of a zinc sunscreen before. It does take a good minute to blend properly, so take the instructions seriously. The powder layers over it without any mismatch at the jaw.
I wrote asking whether I could use the bakuchiol oil while pregnant and one of the chemists replied the next morning with the actual reasoning, not a disclaimer. The oil itself is beautiful - eight drops on damp skin and nothing else needed.
