Why this formula works

Encapsulated Retinol

Retinol is encapsulated to help reduce irritation while supporting visible skin renewal.

Liposomal Delivery

Liposomes help improve stability and even out how the retinol is released, for a gentler experience.

Barrier-supportive base

A nourishing base with skin-identical lipids helps minimize dryness and support resilience.

How to use

Night Routine

Use 2โ€“3 nights per week initially, then increase as tolerated. Always wear SPF daily.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

How is this different from Renewal Cream?
Face Serum uses encapsulated retinol with liposomal delivery โ€” gentler, more beginner-friendly. Renewal Cream uses standard retinol in a barrier-supportive cream. Choose based on whether you want a serum-light or cream-rich format and your retinol experience level.
Will I experience the retinization period?
Likely yes, but more manageable than with conventional retinol. Encapsulation moderates the release pattern, reducing (not eliminating) the first-month flaking and tightness most people experience.
Can I use this if I'm new to retinol?
Yes โ€” this is one of the more beginner-friendly retinol formats specifically because of the encapsulation. Start every other evening for the first two weeks, then assess tolerance before increasing to nightly.
Do I need to use SPF the next morning?
Yes โ€” always. Retinol increases photosensitivity. Sunscreen the next morning isn't optional with any retinol product.
