Retinol Firming Moisturiser 0.2%

A rich, silky cream that combines encapsulated retinol, vitamin C, and hydrating hyaluronic acid to tackle visible signs of ageing and blemishes. This must-have moisturiser works to reduce the appearance of fine lines, smooth uneven texture, and reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion.

0.2% Retinol

This retinol uses an encapsulated delivery system which keeps the retinol stable until it can be delivered onto the skin where it can be absorbed. Studies conducted by the ingredient supplier have shown it to effectively combat visible signs of ageing.

Hyaluronic Acid

A naturally occurring substance in the skin which has earned its skincare star status for its ability to attract and hold 1000 times its weight in moisture.

Vitamin C (SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE)

A derivative of vitamin C which was chosen for its superior stability when compared to pure ascorbic acid. Studies show it's a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger that visibly brightens, evens skin tone, reduces the appearance of age spots, and stimulates the production of collagen to increase skin firmness. It also works to reduce the appearance of blemishes.

As part of your nighttime routine, apply to clean, dry face and neck, avoiding the eye area. To start, use 2-3 times, gradually increasing frequency to every night, as tolerated.

SPF is always essential, but it becomes especially crucial when using products containing vitamin A, as exfoliated skin becomes more vulnerable to UV damage. Try our Glow-C Daily Moisturiser SPF30 for your daily dose of glow and sun protection!

Limit the use of AHAs and BHAs on days you use this product, as combining them with vitamin A can over dry or irritate the skin.

How often can i use this?
We recommend you use 2-3 times a week to start, gradually increasing frequency to every night as your skin tolerates. Everyone's skin is different, so it's important to listen to your skin's tolerance and not rush moving to a higher strength—especially if you have sensitive skin. You'll still see results, they may just take a little longer.

Can I use this during pregnancy and/or while breastfeeding?
No. We do not recommend use of this product during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding. It is always best to consult your doctor or healthcare professional for further guidance.

How does the strength of this product compare with Retinal Supreme MultiCream?
This product has 0.3% retinol in it which has the equivalent vitamin A content as the Retinal Supreme Multi-Cream 0.2%

What skin types is this suitable for?
This product is suitable for all skin types.

Why can I only use this product at night?
The key active ingredient in this product is retinol which is photosensitive which means its efficacy can degrade in the sunlight. It can also make your skin more sensitive to UV rays so we recommend you only ever apply at night and make sure that you use SPF every morning (even in the winter and when it is cloudy outside).
