Read MoreO Biotics Retinoic Oil contains a form of Vitamin A that is more tolerable for sensitive skins than commonly used Retinol. Whilst Retinol is most commonly used in skincare products it can also be irritating and difficult for sensitive skins to get used to. O Biotics Retinoic Oil contains Retinoic Ester which is a direct acting form of Vitamin A that offers all of the benefits of Retinol such as; anti-aging, anti-acne and evening out skin tone without the irritation as well as being tolerable to use every night.
Retinoic Oil is a direct acting Vitamin A that offers next generation anti-aging and is one of the most bio-available, non-prescription forms of Retinol Vitamin A sold in cosmetics. Intended for use in anti-aging and anti-acne treatments, it is the best Retinol for beginners as it provides low irritation and effective active delivery with daily use. In addition, it decreases the effects of UV induced skin damage and helps clear acne related symptoms.
Retinol is well known for its anti-aging properties however, it’s the use of many forms of Vitamin A that offers these results. What is key is to take into consideration the skin type and condition and choosing the appropriate form of Vitamin A for it. Retinol Vitamin A is best suited for normal, oily and thicker skins whilst O Biotics Retinoic Oil contains Retinoic Ester in a deeply conditioning Squalane Oil base. This combination of a gentler form of Vitamin A with Squalene ensures the most dry, dehydrated and sensitive skins are getting their daily dose of Vitamin A whilst avoiding the irritation that can occur when these skin types use Retinol. Used every night the O Biotics Retinoic Oil is ideal for those that have been not been able to use Retinol Vitamin A in the past.
Water-based serums are very quickly absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin leaving behind no trace whereas an oil-based serum will have just as a deep absorption with the added benefit of nourishing a dry and sensitive skin with the lipids and oils it lacks in to support and repair the skins barrier. O Biotics Retinoic Oil delivers high quality direct acting Vitamin A whilst ensuring the skins lipid levels are maintained and restored. Pure and potent Retinol will rarely be seen in a traditional water-based serum rather it is mostly seen in more of a lotion serum. O Cosmedics Potent Retinol Serum and Retinol Concentrate are pure and potent forms of Retinol in lotion bases that are mixed into O Cosmedics Hydrators.
All Vitamin A oils and Retinol Serums including O Biotics Retinoic Oil are used in the evening only. The best retinol for beginners, there is no need to slowly introduce Retinoic Oil into the skin as you would with traditional Retinol Serums due to it being a gentler form of Vitamin A in an oil base.
To incorporate the Retinoic Oil into your skincare routine, apply a quarter to half a pump of the product onto clean dry skin massaging in until fully absorbed. Follow with your choice of O Cosmedics Hydrator over the top.

Both Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid play nicely with Retinol Serums and the O Biotics Retinoic Oil and for this reason you will find them in the formulation of our Retinol Vitamin A products.
Vitamin C and Retinol are best applied at different times of the day due to them not being compatible ingredients. Vitamin C is best used in the morning for protection against free radical damage and Retinol and other forms of Vitamin A are always used at night for skin repair.
