Smooths fine lines and improves skin texture

Expression lines softened with peptide technology (around eyes/forehead)

Brighter, more even tone and a healthier glow

Firmer, more resilient feel by supporting renewal and collagen-related processes

More hydrated, plumper look with less tightness and dryness

Who it’s for (by strength):

0.03%: first-time retinoid users, very sensitive skin, or anyone who wants the gentlest start

0.06%: already tolerating retinoids and ready for stronger visible smoothing/texture results

0.12%: experienced retinoid users targeting deeper lines/texture with maximum strength

For best results, use serum in the evening:

  • Cleanse: Start with clean, dry skin.
  • Apply: Massage a small amount over face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
  • Moisturize: Follow with a nourishing moisturizer to lock in hydration.
  • SPF (morning): Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, as retinoids can increase sun sensitivity.

Pro tip for new retinoid users: Start 2–3 nights per week, then increase frequency as your skin adjusts. If needed, begin with the lower strength (0.03%) and move up once you tolerate regular use.

Important: Do not use retinoids during pregnancy or while trying to conceive.

Retinaldehyde: High-efficacy vitamin A that converts to retinoic acid in skin—faster visible renewal, smoother texture, and wrinkle-softening with typically less irritation than retinol.

SNAP-8™ + Argireline®: Biomimetic peptides that help relax micro-tension to visibly soften expression lines.

Niacinamide: Strengthens the barrier, improves radiance and tone, helps reduce redness, and supports smoother texture.

Retinaldehyde

Biochemical research shows retinaldehyde converts to retinoic acid up to 11× faster than retinol. In clinical studies using 0.05–0.1% retinaldehyde formulas, wrinkle depth reduced by up to 30% and elasticity improved by 20% after 12 weeks of daily use, with visible results reported within 8 weeks.

SNAP-8™

In a 28-day clinical study (22 women, 35–55), wrinkle depth was reduced by 38% and skin smoothness improved by 11.9% versus placebo. Laboratory testing showed neurotransmitter release reduced by up to 43%.

Argireline®

In clinical studies (22 women, 35–60), wrinkle volume reduced by 20.6% and length by 15.9% after one week; after four weeks, skin roughness decreased by 20.4%.

Niacinamide

Clinical studies show niacinamide can increase ceramide levels and reduce transepidermal water loss within 4 weeks. Continued use over 12 weeks improved the appearance of hyperpigmented spots and fine lines, supporting smoother texture and more even tone.
