Medical Grade Retinols

Experience our medical-grade retinols expertly formulated to visibly improve texture, lines, and discolouration.

Renew Skin with Medical-grade Retinols

Retinol is one of the most effective and clinically-proven active ingredients for rejuvenating skin health. Our medical-grade formulations are not just simple creams; they are sophisticated delivery systems designed to enhance cell turnover, strengthen the skin, and visibly improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and discolouration.

We understand that Retinol must be stable and gentle to be truly effective. That's why our Retinol Resurfacing Serums utilises advanced encapsulated technology, which ensures the Retinol is protected from degradation and released gradually into the skin. This controlled, bioavailable delivery system minimises potential irritation, which is a common side effect of traditional Retinol, while maximising efficacy. With varying strengths of Retinol (0.25, 0.5, and 1.0), you can tailor your skincare precisely to your skin’s tolerance and specific needs as part of a customised regimen.

True results-driven skincare requires a holistic approach. Our Retinol collection is complemented by targeted products such as the Neck & Décolleté Firming Cream and Retinol Eye Gel, ensuring that the delicate skin around the eyes and neck is also addressed. Furthermore, our comprehensive systems like the Prep & Enhance kits, which combine Retinol with other active formulations like Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid, offer a complete solution to revitalise and restore a more radiant and youthful appearance.

Our retinols are available to order by linking your account to a certified clinic at checkout but to receive a truly customised regimen, we highly recommend a consultation with a skincare professional.

FAQ

Can Retinol cause skin sensitivity or irritation (purging)?

Some initial sensitivity or purging (a temporary increase in breakouts) can occur as your skin adjusts to Retinol. However, our encapsulated delivery system is designed to minimise these effects. A skincare professional can provide clear guidance on proper usage and how to gradually introduce the product to strengthen your skin.

What are the benefits of using an encapsulated Retinol formulation?

Our encapsulated Retinol technology is a key part of our Clean Science approach. It protects the potent Retinol active ingredient from degradation and delivers it gradually into the skin. This controlled release minimises irritation while ensuring the bioavailable Retinol can effectively enhance cell turnover and visibly improve the appearance of lines and texture.

Can I use my Retinol serum with other active ingredients like Vitamin C and Niacinamide?

Yes, Retinol can be an excellent complement to other active ingredients, such as L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Niacinamide, when used correctly. Generally, Retinol is used in the evening. For personalised application advice within your customised regimen, we recommend a consultation with a professional.

How do I know which strength of Retinol Resurfacing Serum to use?

Choosing the correct strength (0.25, 0.5, or 1.0) is essential for avoiding unnecessary irritation and ensuring efficacy. It's always best to build up skin tolerance over time, starteing with a weak strength of Retinol, increasing frequency of use over time before then increasing the strength. We strongly advise booking a consultation with a skincare professional who can assess your skin’s tolerance and history with Retinol to guide you to the optimal starting strength for your regimen.
