Read MoreThe ultimate retinol for beginners, Potent Retinol Serum enables you to gently and more easily introduce Vitamin A into your routine before progressing to stronger formulations like Retinol Concentrate. Perfect for age prevention, the vitamin A serum increases cell turnover to visibly diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, clarify skin texture and deliver firmer, younger-looking skin.
Our retinol for beginners is powered by Vitamin A that helps stimulate your skin’s collagen production while triggering its natural renewal process to shed dead skin cells and promote the growth of new, young skin cells. This contributes to improved skin clarity and texture, boosted by our trademark V8 Peptide Complex, antioxidants and other active ingredients that help condition the skin, minimise irritation and help relax muscles.
Our vitamin A serum is formulated with a 0.5% concentration that harnesses pure and encapsulated Vitamin A that stabilises its active compound, allowing for a slow and controlled release of its therapeutic properties to minimise irritation.
While our retinol for beginners offers a gentle approach to introducing this highly active ingredient to dry, oily, congested and mature skins, we recommend waiting until inflamed and irritated skin has soothed and completely subsided before incorporating it back into your routine.
On your first application, we recommend using it during your evening routine and mix it with an O Hydrator of your choice and use every two to three days. Allow your skin to acclimatise to its active ingredients before using it directly on your skin and increasing your application to four to five times a week.
Experienced Vitamin A users can apply it neat to the skin. For beginner users, simply mix up to 1 pump of O Treatment Hydrator to 1 pump of Potent Retinol Serum. If the skin should become red, itchy, uncomfortable and/or flakes excessively, discontinue use, allow the skin to rebalance and then re-introduce every other day. Don’t forget to apply your Mineral Pro SPF daily to protect the skin from the sun!
If your skincare routine includes other high-active products like exfoliating acids and the O Skin-Inject Derma Roller into your routine, we recommend using it on alternate nights to prevent overstimulating your skin.
While the skin will start to show some positive changes after a few weeks of use, it can take several months for the vitamin A serum to increase your skin’s cell turnover to experience its full cumulative results.
Unfortunately, no — we recommend including our Potent Retinol Serum in your routine at the end of your pregnancy and once you finish nursing.
