Claims & Benefits

Retinol Serum (1%)

• Designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles.

• Supports a firmer, more even-looking skin tone.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum (2%)

• Helps to restore hydration, smooth out dry or textured skin, and reduce fine lines.

• Works as a buffer and complement to retinol, reducing dryness and irritation.

Usage Tips & Warnings

• Retinol can be intense for beginners — start slowly (2–3 times per week) and increase as tolerated.

• Always perform a patch test before applying to the full face.

• Do not apply on broken or irritated skin.

• Avoid contact with the eyes and lips.

• Retinol increases sun sensitivity, so daily sunscreen use is essential.

• Store both serums in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Strengths & Considerations

Strengths:

• Combines treatment (retinol) and support (hydration) in one bundle — good for a balanced skincare routine.

• Helps reduce signs of aging while keeping skin barrier protected with hyaluronic acid.

• Vegan, alcohol-free, and designed to be gentle enough for consistent use if introduced properly.

• Price point is attractive for those looking for active skincare without a luxury markup.

• 1% retinol may be too strong for highly sensitive skin or first-time users.

• Retinol must be used cautiously — overuse or mixing with other actives (like acids or exfoliants) can damage the skin barrier.

• Hydration alone may not be enough — pairing with a moisturizer is recommended.

• Results take time (typically several weeks), and sun protection is non-negotiable while using retinol.
