ETAILS
A Melanie Grant cult favourite, this overnight serum prioritises barrier function and skin hydration first, allowing the skin to receive and make use of a 0.5% medical grade retinol without the usual associated reactivity, redness or chapping. This unique formula targets uneven skin tone, coarse skin texture, minimises the appearance of fine lines and dilated pores and builds skin density and elasticity with nightly use.
At its core is an encapsulated retinol, a stabilised, gentle, slow release form of vitamin A that works from the inside out to speed cellular turnover, visibly brighten pigmentation, and support healthy collagen to soften fine lines and wrinkles. This is combined with AHA’s and bakuchiol to stimulate cellular renewal and unify uneven skin tone with nourishing kahai oil, protective squalane, and moisture enhancing ceramides to reinforce barrier function and leave the skin firm, supple and comforted.
Size: 30ml
A note from MG:
If you're taking a preventative approach, incorporating a good quality retinol from around age 30 will help keep your collagen stores in check, as they start to naturally decline from this age onward. I love Auteur’s Definitive Retinol Serum because it’s a slow release formula. It priortises barrier function first and foremost, making your skin more receptive to the array of concentrated actives it contains like AHAs, ceramides, squalene and a .5% retinol to really refine, densify and tone the complexion.
HOW TO USE
Retinol Serum is an overnight treatment product. Work into your evening routine every other night, or 3 times weekly (alternating with a hydration-focused routine). Work up to more frequent use as the skin adjusts to this concentrated formula.
