Dermatologist-Tested | Intermediate Retinol Strength | Antioxidant-Enriched

Formulated for intermediate retinol users, this facial oil contains 0.5% stabilised pure retinol to target visible signs of aging including deep wrinkles, fine lines, loss of elasticity, and uneven skin tone. The silky texture absorbs smoothly, delivering potent results without unnecessary irritation.

The formula is enriched with Squalane to maintain skin moisture and reduce potential retinol dryness, while Tocotrienol (Super Vitamin E) offers strong antioxidant protection against environmental damage. Perfect for skin already accustomed to retinol, it helps improve firmness, refine texture, and promote a radiant, youthful complexion.

  • Antioxidant defense – Tocotrienol protects from oxidative stress

  • Moisturising & barrier support – Squalane prevents dryness and irritation

Key Ingredients

  • Pure Retinol (0.5%) – Boosts collagen, smooths fine lines, and promotes cell turnover
