What it is
Many retinol serums use the unstable “retinol” or alcohol form of retinoid. Scientific evidence proves this form is too unstable for use in topical formulations and rapidly degrades in presence of air, water, heat or light. We use retinol palmitate, a natural and stable form of retinoid used by the body itself to store retinoids.
Our Retinol Serum uses our proprietary Green Micelle™ nano-technology to entrap and stabilise Retinol in nano-sized micelles. These combine water soluble Vitamin C, Green Tea, Ginkgo Biloba, Aloe Vera Gel, Caffeic Acid, Glycerin with oil soluble Retinol, Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin E and Squalane in a single micellar formulation. Stable retinol nano-micelles are able to penetrate skin layers more deeply for maximum anti-aging effect.
What it does
Retinol is a proven and powerful anti-aging and skin rejuvenating ingredient. Our Retinol Serum is a multi-functional, anti-aging powerhouse combining retinol with active botanicals to simultaneously treat four aspects of skin ageing:
- rejuvenate, revitalise skin surface by increasing dead cell turnover
- repair damaged collagen and elastin, boost collagen levels to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- boost natural skin hydration levels
- inhibit skin melanin to reduce blemishes, pigments and dark spots
This innovative, nano-encapsulating formula allows simultaneous treatment of all four anti-aging conditions with a single treatment using this stable, deep penetrating serum.
Retinol is a proven and powerful anti-aging and skin rejuvenating ingredient. Our micellar Retinol Serum is an anti-ageing powerhouse that uses our innovative, nano-encapsulating formula to improve retinol stability and increase retinol skin penetration. It combines active botanicals Coenzyme Q10 with Vitamins C and E to promote cellular turnover, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, minimise blemishes, hydrate and reduce pore size; all in one single, stable and highly effective anti-ageing treatment.

How to use
- Cleanse
Use a gentle gel cleanser to remove excess oil, dirt, and makeup. Gentle gel cleansers such as our Micellar Face Wash range don’t contain harsh sulfates but use gentle Coconut derived cleansing agents to ensure your natural skin barrier is never impaired.
- Tone
Prepare the skin for serum treatment with a gentle spray from a toning Micellar Water. This will infuse the skin and prime it for the absorption of the serum actives that follow.
- Apply
Target your specific skin concerns and use natural biological actives contained in our Micellar and Oil Serum ranges. Apply 2-4 drops of selected serum evenly to targeted area of face, neck, and or chest, avoiding the eye area.
- Moisturise
Our serums contain moisturising agents but serums can have a drying effects on the skin. An emollient moisturiser may be applied after application.
- Frequency
Serums can be applied both morning and night. Serums containing Vitamins C and E are best applied during day to support the skin’s natural anti-oxidant protection. Serums containing retinols, niacinamide or exfoliants are best applied at night.
- Sunscreen
Complete the regime with an SPF50+ or SPF30 sunscreen during the day when using corrective serums. Our Broad Spectrum SPF50 and SPF30 sunscreens are mineral based with no harmful synthetic chemical sunscreens so they provide better protection when used with antioxidant serums.
