How do I use the Retinol facial Serum? Retinol should be gradually introduced into your regime to build up tolerance, starting with once or twice a week and building up to more frequent use. In the evening, prior to moisturising, apply one pump of product onto dry skin, avoiding the delicate area directly under the eyes. Massage into the skin and allow approximately 30 minutes for full absorption. Follow with a barrier-protecting cream, such as our Ceramide Face Cream.

Warnings: Do not use if pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding. This product contains ingredients that can increase your skin’s risk of sunburn and UV exposure. Always apply an SPF the following morning after using this product. This product contains vitamin A. Consider your daily intake before use. During initial use, you may experience skin peeling or shedding. If your skin feels uncomfortable, consider reducing or discontinuing use.

The numbers are in! An independent user trial of 50 beauty panellists revealed:

  • 94% agreed skin looked brighter and more radiant

  • 92% agreed fine lines and wrinkles appeared to have reduced

  • 86% agreed hyperpigmentation appeared to be reduced

  • 94% agreed this serum felt less drying than other retinol products they had tried

  • 86% agreed this serum delivered the results you would expect from a premium product

(External user trial based on 50 women, aged 20-65, who used the product for 8 consecutive weeks.)

0.2% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate 🌟

An anti-ageing powerhouse, this Retinoid works to renew, firm, brighten and improve skin texture while minimising the signs of ageing. This low-irritation grade will deliver the same expert benefits with a gentler touch! 

Squalane 🌼

Natural Squalane is a vegan-friendly alternative to Squalene, made from Olive Oil. It has incredible moisturising abilities whilst being fast absorbing. Plus, it works well for all skin types.

Bisabolol 🌳

Originating from the Candeia Tree but also found in Chamomile, Bisabolol is naturally soothing and has traditionally been used to calm dehydrated and stressed-out skin.

Smoother Skin

I have been using this retinol every night for the last 3 weeks and have seen great results. My skin is sensitive and dry and I have never found a retinol until now that I could use that my skin reacted favourably with. I am shocked at the effectiveness of this inexpensive product as I only use high end products and bought it on a whim and didn’t expect these type of results at all. My mature skin is definitely smoother, more even and brighter. I don’t have any lines so not sure how good it is at diminishing those, but my skin looks brighter and I look refreshed. I have had no negative reactions to this formula which is quite unusual for me, when trying something new.I am now going to look at other products from this company as so impressed with this one.

First retinol, absolutely useless

I have been using this product for over three months now. TBH I don't know why I bought
it at all. It has made no difference to my skin whatsoever.
The only positive is my sensitive skin didn't get irritated.
Wouldn't buy products from this line

Love this product!

Q+A's Retinol Facial Serum makes my skin look and feel radiant. Unlike some other retinol serums I have tried, it never irritates my skin. Great value!!
