Retinol + Marula Renewing Serum

Powerful, “rewind time” serum that dials back the signs of skin damage for a rejuvenated, ageless appearance.

MY SKIN’S CURRENT STATE: Tired, seeing signs of aging and dull/lackluster.

MY SKIN’S FUTURE STATE: Revived, restored and radiant.

A powerhouse serum that definitely took the advice to always over-deliver. Encapsulated retinol (the gold standard for skin renewal) paired with kojic acid (the gold standard’s second in command) helps smooth fine lines, brighten visibly uneven skin tone, and helps fade the look of spots. Infused in an ultra-moisturizing base of marula and jojoba oils and aloe, this serum deeply comforts the skin to help counterbalance any potential irritation traditionally caused by retinol. Phospholipids (lipids that attract water) help pull all this hydration goodness into the skin, instantly giving you a plumper, juicier look. Use this bad boy nightly to see results compound over time — it only gets better from here.

KEY INGREDIENTS:

• 2.5% ENCAPSULATED RETINOL: Powerful renewing ingredient that can help smooth fine lines, firm the skin, brighten spots, and increase overall radiance.
• MARULA SEED OIL: Non-fragrant plant oil that is a rich source of fatty acids to help keep the skin smooth and protected.
• KOJIC ACID: Derived from mushrooms, this compound helps visibly brighten uneven pigmentation.
• JOJOBA SEED OIL: A non-fragrant oil that helps enhance skin’s restorative properties; its texture is similar to the skin’s sebum, so it is brilliant for dry skin.
• APRICOT KERNEL SEED OIL: Contains skin-loving sterols, such as cholesterol, which are found naturally in healthy skin. This oil is a great source of Vitamin E, which enhances the development of new skin cells.
• ALOE + GLYCERIN: Lightly hydrate without leaving an oily film. Together they attract water to the skin for lasting hydration.
• SQUALANE: A plant-derived emollient and antioxidant that supports the lipid barrier and can help strengthen cell function for healthy skin cells to give you that bouncy, plump glow.
• PHOSPHOLIPIDS: Skin-identical lipids that are highly moisturizing without being occlusive. They pull water from the surrounding air and help retain this hydration in your skin.
• VITAMIN E: This fat-soluble vitamin is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. It helps to keep moisture in your skin, which softens it.
• CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT: Rich in amino acids, beta carotene, fatty acids, and numerous potent phytochemicals. Centella has been found to help calm inflammation, speed wound healing, stimulate new cell growth, build collagen, and improve circulation.
• HORSETAIL LEAF EXTRACT: An herb that can help minimize the look of pores
