Renewal Retinol and Peptide Face Serum
Phospholipid retinol + Hexapeptide-11 for nightly skin renewal
Product Description
Suggested Use
Where It Fits in Your Routine
Apply every evening as the last serum step before moisturizer. Retinol is a nighttime-only ingredient.
Double cleanse in the evening to remove SPF and makeup fully.
Allow skin to fully dry before applying. Applying retinol to damp skin increases irritation potential.
Dispense 3 to 4 drops. Press gently over face, avoiding the immediate eye area and nostrils.
Apply moisturizer after the serum to support barrier integrity during overnight renewal.
Note: Start with 2 to 3 nights per week for the first 2 to 4 weeks, then increase to nightly use as tolerance develops. Always use SPF 30 or higher every morning when using retinol. Compatible with niacinamide moisturizers applied after.
How Its Made
When will I get my order?
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible normally within 2 business days. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
Phospholipids are structurally similar to the skin's own lipid matrix. When retinol is encapsulated in a phospholipid delivery system, it is released more gradually and evenly across the skin surface, reducing the concentration peaks that cause irritation while maintaining the sustained activity that drives skin renewal results.

Who This Is For
The phospholipid delivery system makes this formula more accessible for first-time retinol users. It provides retinol's renewal benefits with a reduced irritation profile appropriate for consistent nightly use from the beginning.
Retinol accelerates the skin's natural cell turnover cycle, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, improving skin texture, and supporting collagen maintenance through consistent nightly use. Hexapeptide-11 adds complementary renewal signaling.
Users who have experienced dryness, peeling, or redness from standard retinol serums may find the phospholipid delivery system significantly more tolerable. The graduated release mechanism reduces irritation without eliminating the renewal activity.
Retinol is a nighttime-only ingredient: it is photosensitive and provides no benefit when applied under SPF. This formula is designed as a dedicated nightly step for the renewal-focused half of a morning and evening routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this serum used for?
This serum is formulated to support skin renewal, help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture with consistent nightly use. Retinol supports cell turnover; Hexapeptide-11 provides complementary renewal signaling. These are cosmetic claims, not medical treatments.
How often should I use retinol?
Start with 2 to 3 nights per week for the first 2 to 4 weeks to allow skin to build tolerance. Increase to nightly use as your skin adjusts. Consistency over time is the key variable in retinol results.
Does retinol increase sun sensitivity?
Yes. Retinol supports cell turnover and temporarily increases photosensitivity. Always use SPF 30 or higher every morning when using retinol, even on cloudy days.
How long does one bottle last?
At 3 to 4 drops per nightly application, one bottle typically lasts 60 to 90 days.
Can retinol beginners use this serum?
Yes. The phospholipid delivery system and bisabolol soothing component make this more accessible for first-time retinol users than standard formulas. Start with 2 to 3 nights per week and build up as your skin adjusts.
