Retinol Resurfacing Treatment™
Best Retinol treatment for: Ageing youthfully. Acne. Scarring. Brightening. Skin density. Pores.
Finally, a Retinol Resurfacing Treatment™ that doesn't have your face feeling like it is falling off!
By using a stabilised version of Retinol - Vitamin A Palmitate - we can deliver all the proven benefits of Retinol, without any of the nasty skin irritation. We've combined the EU maximum 0.3% retinol, with powerful anti-inflammatory ingredients, to simultaneously calm even sensitive skin. Further, this is the only retinol treatment that combines with the Matrixyl peptide, to rapidly improve all signs of skin ageing and wrinkles. Both these ingredients were featured in BBC Horizon programmes and proven, without doubt to work. This retinol skincare will improve your skin.
Retinol is an extremely effective 'cell-communicating' ingredient, which is able to tell your skin cells to behave like healthy, younger skin cells, making it the perfect treatment for:
• Promoting healthy cell turnover and brightening the skin.
• Thickening skin to reduce lines and wrinkles.
• Significantly fading acne scars and dark spots.
• Regulating sebum production to prevent spots.
For the best results, use only at night-time and follow through in the morning with sufficient SPF moisturiser.

Step 1. Apply 1-2 pumps to cleansed skin at nighttime only. If you're new to Retinol, you may want to use a little less and build up the amount you use, as well as the frequency of use. |
Step 2. Use sweeping motions to massage the product into your face, neck and decolletage, avoiding the immediate eye area and lips. |
Step 3. Don't forget to apply under the ears where trapped shampoo can create dryness. Always remember to wear an SPF in the morning to prevent UV damage. |

Vitamin A (Retinol) used in the EU maximum permitted dose (0.3%), it is an extremely effective ‘cell-communicating’ active ingredient, which is able to connect to skin cell receptor sites and tell them to behave like healthy, younger skin cells. Vitamin A boosts cell turnover, peeling away top layers to even skin tone, thicken the new skin layers and effectively smooth out wrinkles. For all these reasons and its ability to regulate sebum, it shows superb results for even for more delicate skins, acneic skins and reduces the visibility of resulting scarring. Retinol is unstable so, we use Vitamin A Palmitate, a stabilised version with proven efficacy.
Matrixyl 3000 is a peptide with a powerful skin repairing effect, restores key skin proteins such as collagen and fibrilin, which are broken down during the ageing process and by UVA light. Matrixyl was the subject of a BBC Horizon programme in 2006 and proven to work. In this formula, together with retinol/vitamin A it works to lessen deeper wrinkles in the skin
Aroleat Samphira is an incredible active ingredient extracted from Rock Samphire (also known as Sea Fennel). It imitates the beneficial effects of Retinol, but without causing skin irritation. Vitamin A (Retinol) is well known to stimulate inflammation as it works, resulting in redness, flaking, irritation and tightness. Aroleat Samphira has been proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even out the skin tone, regulate sebum and reduce inflammation. Used together with Vitamin A, Aroleat Samphira allows Vitamin A to provide its many skin benefits without the associated inflammation.
Mediacalm™ is an active ingredient from Boerhavia Diffusa Root. Thanks to its outstanding calming properties (clinically tested on freshly shaven skin), it restores softness to the skin and intense soothing, whilst stimulating the release of anti-irritant neuromediators in the skin.
Two different molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid. Has the double effect of retaining moisture in the epidermis and dermis while also activating the skin’s own beta defensins, that help to prevent the microbial invasion that causes spots.
Squalane is a component of the skin’s natural lipid barrier. We use Squalane from Olive Oil origin. This gives a luxurious feel to skin while supporting and reinforcing the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Retinol is a bit 'marmite' - you love it or are afraid of it. I fell into the latter camp until creating this product. Images of Samantha in Sex and the City after the chemical peel and reading terrible experiences of peeling, sore, flaking, red skin put me off. I wanted to make a formula that would be super effective, yet so gentle even sensitive skins could use it.
I insisted we use the maximum level of stabilised Retinol (Vitamin A Palmitate), which is 0.3% in the EU. I also wanted to combine it with Matrixyl 3000, a peptide proven to help repair skin and undo signs of ageing. We included Aroleat Samphira, which has a similar action to Retinol without increasing inflammation. We added further anti-inflammatory ingredients to soothe as the Retinol works. Finally, a serious punch of hydration with two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid seals the deal.
If you want a real, visible change to your skin, there is no way around it - you have to use this in your routine.
