A gentle 0.1% retinol vegan serum for first-time users

Formulated with 0.1% retinol and 5,000ppm bakuchiol, this daily retinol serum is designed to be gentle enough for sensitive skin.

For those concerned with rough texture and enlarged pores

If you're dealing with sensitive skin, rough texture, post-breakout marks, or enlarged pores, this serum is a great fit. When first introducing it, apply just 2–3 drops in the evening, and if you have very sensitive skin, consider using it every other day. After 3 weeks, once your skin has adjusted, you can gradually increase frequency and amount. Be sure to follow up with plenty of hydration before and after use, and always apply sunscreen during the day.

Use in the evening routine, during the serum step

Apply this retinol serum after toning, in the essence or serum stage of your routine. The order is: cleanse → tone → this serum → moisturizer. Because retinol can be drying, it's important to follow up with a rich moisturizer to lock in hydration.

Evening use only, and SPF is non-negotiable in the morning

Retinol increases sun sensitivity, so use it only in your evening routine. The next morning, sunscreen is a must. If you're outdoors frequently during the day, be extra diligent about reapplying SPF.

Start with 2–3 drops, then build up as your skin adjusts

For the first 1–2 weeks, use it once in the evening with just 2–3 drops. If you have very sensitive skin, try every other night. After week 3, once your skin has adapted, you can gradually increase frequency and amount. The pump dispenser makes it easy to control dosage and keeps the formula hygienic.

Pairing suggestions based on your skin concerns

• If dryness is a concern: Layer with a panthenol-rich moisturizer to support your moisture barrier
• If texture and pores are your focus: With consistent use, you may start noticing changes after 2 weeks
• If you're targeting post-breakout marks: The formula includes bakuchiol, a plant-derived soothing ingredient, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin

Important precautions when using retinol

• Avoid using on the same day as exfoliating acids like AHA or BHA, or vitamin C products. Alternate days or separate by time of day
• Skip retinol right after laser treatments, as skin may be more reactive
• During the adjustment period, you may experience flaking, redness, or tingling. This is a natural part of accelerated skin turnover. If irritation becomes severe, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist
• For extra peace of mind, patch test on the inner arm before first use
