Product Highlights

• 0.3% Mid-Strength Retinol accelerates surface cell turnover to noticeably smooth deep wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. 
• 2% Plant-Derived Bakuchiol stabilizes retinol molecules, amplifies its wrinkle-fighting power, and calms the skin to reduce potential irritation. 
• Firming Peptide Complex provides multi-level structural support to boost the skin’s natural elasticity and resilience against sagging. 
• Lightweight Lotion-Cream Base glides on effortlessly and absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy, sticky, or greasy residue.
• 30 mL (1 fl. oz.) Airless Pump container features an opaque, hygienic dispenser design that protects the sensitive active ingredients from light and air. 
• 100% Fragrance-Free and Cruelty-Free composition formulated without parabens, sulfates, silicones, phthalates, or drying alcohols.

Key Benefits

• Advanced Wrinkle Defense: Minimizes the appearance of deep expression lines, stubborn crow's feet, and structural creases.
• Multilevel Firming & Bounce: Restores structural density and bounce to collagen-depleted skin while visibly tightening enlarged pores.
• Discoloration & Tone Correction: Fades stubborn dark spots, sun-induced pigmentation, and post-breakout marks for a brighter, more uniform complexion.
• Enhanced Skin Tolerance: Harnesses the natural anti-inflammatory benefits of bakuchiol to make retinoids accessible for sensitive or reactive skin types. 

Hero Ingredients

• Retinol (0.3%): A proven vitamin A derivative that prompts healthy cellular renewal and targets the root causes of premature aging.
• Bakuchiol (2%): A powerful botanical antioxidant that mirrors the anti-aging benefits of retinol while actively soothing skin redness and preventing flaking.
• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 & Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7: Restorative peptides that signal the skin matrix to reinforce elasticity and firm sagging contours.
• Ceramides & Shea Butter Glycerides: Deeply replenish the lipid barrier to lock in weightless moisture and mitigate common retinoid dryness. 

Suitable For

• Skin Types: All skin types (normal, dry, combination, and oily). Highly recommended for those who find traditional 1% retinol treatments too harsh.
• Skin Concerns: Deep wrinkles, fine lines, loss of firmness, structural dullness, sun damage, and uneven skin texture.
• Caution: Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Always avoid combining this treatment in the exact same evening routine with other retinoids or strong vitamin C products (above 20% L-ascorbic acid).

How to Use

1. Cleanse & Tone: Cleanse your face thoroughly and apply your favorite hydrating toner or BHA exfoliant.
2. Dispense: Press the pump to dispense 1 to 2 pea-sized drops of the cream onto your fingertips. 
3. Apply Safely: Smooth evenly over your face and neck. Carefully avoid direct contact with your lips, eyelids, and the corners of your eyes. 
4. Moisturize & Protect:
   • Follow with your nightly moisturizer to seal in hydration.
   • Frequency: Limit initial application to 3 evenings per week. Gradually build up to every other evening, and eventually to nightly use as tolerated by your skin barrier.
   • Sunscreen is Mandatory: Retinol increases UV sensitivity. Finish every single morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or higher.
