Retinol Anti-Aging Firming Face Serum – Lifting Formula

Address the visible signs of skin ageing with the Retinol Anti-Aging Firming Face Serum — a potent yet elegantly formulated serum that combines the power of retinol with supporting ingredients to help minimise the appearance of fine lines, support skin firmness, and promote a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion over time.

Benefits

• Helps minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a visibly smoother, more youthful-looking complexion
• Supports the appearance of skin firmness and elasticity with consistent use
• Promotes a more even-looking skin texture and tone over time
• Fast-absorbing, lightweight formula layers well under moisturiser without heaviness
• Supports a visibly refined, healthy-looking skin surface with regular evening application

Key Ingredients

• Retinol (Vitamin A) — A well-researched cosmetic active that supports the appearance of smoother skin texture and helps visibly reduce fine lines with consistent use
• Hyaluronic Acid — Provides surface-level hydration to help counteract the drying effects that can accompany retinol use
• Peptide Complex — Supports the look of skin firmness and elasticity for a lifted, toned appearance
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — An antioxidant that helps support skin's natural barrier and provides a conditioning effect
• Squalane — Lightweight emollient that helps restore skin's surface smoothness and comfort during retinol use

How to Use

1. Use exclusively in the evening — apply to clean, dry skin after cleansing and toning
2. Dispense 2–3 drops onto fingertips and press gently across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area
3. Allow the serum to absorb for 1–2 minutes before applying a nourishing moisturiser on top
4. Begin with 2–3 applications per week and gradually increase frequency as skin acclimates
5. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen the following morning when using retinol products

Best For

• Skin type: Normal, dry, combination, and mature skin; introduce gradually for sensitive skin
• Concern: Fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, uneven skin texture
• Finish: Smooth, refined, visibly rejuvenated skin surface
• Routine step: Evening serum step; apply after cleansing and toning, before moisturiser

Warnings & Patch Test

• For external use only — avoid contact with eyes and lips; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water
• Conduct a patch test 24 hours before first use; introduce retinol gradually to allow skin to adjust
• Retinol increases photosensitivity — always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen the morning after use
• Do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding without consulting a healthcare provider
• Keep out of reach of children; store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this retinol serum every night?
It is recommended to start with 2–3 evenings per week to allow your skin to adjust. Once your skin has acclimatised over several weeks, you may increase to nightly use if your skin tolerates it well without irritation.

What should I pair with retinol to prevent dryness?
Following this serum with a nourishing, hydrating moisturiser — particularly one containing ceramides, peptides, or squalane — helps buffer the skin and minimise potential dryness or sensitivity associated with retinol use.

Can I use this serum with other actives like vitamin C or AHAs?
It is generally recommended to avoid combining retinol with strong acids (AHAs/BHAs) or high-concentration vitamin C in the same evening routine, as this can increase the risk of irritation. Alternate actives on different evenings or use vitamin C in the morning and retinol in the evening.
