Supercharged age-defying retinol serum / 1 oz full size

Marie Veronique's Gentle Retinol Night Serum was developed to provide the long-proven benefits of retinol without the irritation and questionable preservatives. To which we replied, “Where has this formula been all our lives? We’ll take tons of it. Tons.”

As you may know, we adore retinol — which, like Retin-A, is a derivative of Vitamin A. It has decades of data to attest to its safety and powerful effects, which include smoother and more radiant skin, unplugged pores, improved elasticity and firmness, less hyperpigmentation, fewer breakouts, and even the reversal of sun damage. Basically, it’s magic.

BUT/AND more recent studies show how Vitamins A, C and E work together to support superior collagen-building and antioxidant effects. Marie Veronique’s formula combines a whopping 0.4 - 0.6% microencapsulated retinol with anhydrous (very stable) Vitamin C; Vitamin E; and a heap of sodium salicylate, a powerful anti-inflammatory, for remarkable results without irritation. And, like all of Marie’s formulas, it’s as clean as a non-toxic whistle can be.

To learn more about how Marie has managed to engineer this product to deliver such meaningful results without irritation, check out our interview with her here.

Note of clarification: Retinol is widely regarded as a "safe" Vitamin A derivative — not to be confused with retinyl palmitate, which should not be used in the presence of UV, or isotretinoin, which dermatologists prescribe for severe acne.

How to Use

Use at night only. Shake well. Apply a thin layer after cleansing; Balanced to Dry skin types can follow it with an application of an oil or cream (like Dara's Oil). May be used every night.
Not recommended for pregnant women, nursing mothers, or anyone who finds it too irritating. Please use sunscreen daily, as retinoid products can increase sun sensitivity.

Ingredients

“It isn't going to strip the skin of its barrier oils and make it vulnerable, but you still get the benefits of vitamin A: increased collagen and cellular turnover, and decreased inflammation.”
