- Vitamin E: A skin-nourishing antioxidant that moisturises and shields skin from everyday environmental damage.
Ideal for
Ideal for those who want to take control of their skin's ageing journey and wake up each day looking and feeling visibly younger and firmer.
For the best results
- Week 1: Skin may start to feel softer, smoother, and more comfortable from the first few uses.
- Week 4: With regular use, you may begin to notice a difference in skin texture and tone — skin can appear fresher and more even.
- Week 8: Over time, with consistent daily use, skin may appear more rested, with improvements in firmness and overall radiance that can vary from person to person.
How to use
Cleanse your face thoroughly and pat dry. Apply a few drops of serum to your fingertips and warm slightly. Press and smooth over the face and neck — avoid the eye area. Allow to absorb fully before applying your moisturiser. Use morning and evening as part of your regular routine.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Can I use retinol serum if I'm new to retinol?
A: Yes, this is a great place to start — but build up gradually. Begin using it 2-3 times a week at night, then increase frequency as your skin adjusts.
Q: Should I use SPF when using this retinol serum?
A: Absolutely — retinol can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so wearing a broad-spectrum SPF every morning is essential when using retinol in your routine.
