Will retinoid make my skin peel?

Some initial dryness or flaking is normal as your skin adjusts, usually in the first 1-2 weeks. Start by using every other evening and build to nightly use. Always use sunscreen during the day as retinoid increases sun sensitivity.

Can I use retinoid with the other serums?

Use retinoid on alternate nights from other active treatments like Vitamin C. On retinoid nights, follow with moisturiser only.

Problematic skin

How To Use

Use in the evening after cleansing. Apply a few drops to your fingertips and press gently into the skin across your face and neck. Do not rub. Allow two to three minutes to absorb. Follow with the Anti-Ageing Elixir and Daily Moisturiser. Start with every second night if your skin is sensitive, increasing to nightly use once comfortable.

Best For

All skin types. Particularly beneficial for men over 35 dealing with slow cell turnover, dullness, uneven texture, or sun damage.

What To Expect

Skin feels nourished and smooth immediately after application. After four weeks of consistent nightly use cell turnover visibly improves, with a clearer, fresher skin surface and reduced dullness. After eight to twelve weeks the barrier-repairing fatty acids from Rosehip and Seabuckthorn produce meaningful improvements in skin resilience and texture, particularly for men with sun-damaged or environmentally stressed skin.

Ingredient Spotlight

Seabuckthorn Extract

Vitamin-rich botanical

Intense skin nourishment: Seabuckthorn is one of the only plant sources of Omega 3, 6, 7, and 9 fatty acids simultaneously. Omega 7 in particular, which comes from palmitoleic acid, is naturally present in human skin tissue and declines with age. Replenishing it topically supports the skin's ability to retain moisture and maintain its natural softness. Anti-ageing through carotenoids: The deep orange colour of Seabuckthorn oil comes from its high carotenoid content, including beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. These compounds are powerful antioxidants that neutralise the free radical damage responsible for collagen breakdown and premature lines. Used consistently at night, they work while the skin is in its natural repair cycle. Skin regeneration: Seabuckthorn has been used clinically to support skin recovery after radiation damage and burns, which points to a genuine regenerative capacity rather than just surface-level hydration. For men dealing with sun damage, post-shave irritation, or generally stressed skin, this regenerative action is the most practical benefit. Anti-inflammatory action: The plant sterols in Seabuckthorn calm inflammatory pathways in the skin, which reduces redness and sensitivity over time. This makes it valuable in formulas designed for men who react to environmental stress or have unpredictable skin behaviour.
