✓ Gentle Enough For Under Your Eyes
✓ Fades Dark Marks, Not Just Lines
Limited to a maximum of 4 items per customer
1. Start with clean, dry skin. Give it a minute after washing. Retinal sinks in further on damp skin than you want it to.
2. Squeeze out a grain of rice. That is the whole face. More is not faster.
3. Dot it where you want the change. Across the forehead, between the brows, along the folds beside your mouth, and on the bone under your eyes.
4. Press it in with your fingertips. Do not rub or drag, especially under the eyes.
5. Moisturiser on top once it has settled. If your skin runs sensitive, moisturise first and this over it.
6. Night only. Sunscreen the next morning, last step.
A light tingle for a minute or two is meant to happen. Stinging that does not stop means use less, less often.

Pores By Morning. Lines By Week Two.
No miracles promised. Just what four women saw: pores less noticeable after the first night, forehead lines down 78.54% in two weeks, and skin that finally feels tight.
SMALLER PORES
"The pores around my nose and across my cheeks are the thing I have always noticed first in a mirror, and no amount of primer ever fixed it. I did not expect anything to happen quickly. Everything with a retinal in it tells you to wait three months.
I could see a difference the morning after the first night, which I genuinely was not ready for. It carried on from there. It takes its time sinking in, so give yourself a minute before you lie down, but by week three my pores had stopped being the first thing I looked at. I am 47."

SOFTER FOREHEAD LINES
"I have had two lines across my forehead since I was about forty and I had made my peace with them. I only bought this because a friend would not stop going on about it. I started every other night the way it says, on my forehead and between my brows, and for the first week I thought nothing at all was happening.
By week two I could feel a tightness across my forehead, which is a strange thing to describe but it is the honest version. The lines are still there when I raise my eyebrows, I am not going to pretend otherwise, but at rest they have gone soft. I am 48 and I have spent a great deal more than this on creams that did nothing whatsoever."

FINE LINES UNDER THE EYES
"The fine lines under my eyes were the ones that bothered me. They show up in photographs even on the days you think you look fine, and every eye cream I tried just sat on top of them. I was nervous putting a retinal that close to my eyes, but the instructions say the bone under the eye and not the lid, so that is exactly what I did.
It tingles for about a minute and then it stops. More of a tickle than a sting, and it never once irritated me, which surprised me because my skin is not robust. Three weeks in the lines have visibly faded and my concealer has stopped catching in them. I am 49 and this is the first thing that has touched them."

SOFTER SMILE LINES
"The folds either side of my mouth had been getting a little deeper every year without ever quite announcing themselves. That was the one I could not do anything about, and it is the one that makes me look tired in photographs when I am not.
This is the slowest of the changes, so do not expect it in a fortnight. Six weeks and they are shallower, and my skin generally looks clearer and brighter than it did, which I was not expecting and will happily take. The tube is small but you need almost nothing, so it is lasting far longer than I assumed. I am 47."

It's Not The Retinal. It's Where It Ends Up.
Almost every retinol on the shelf works the same way, and almost all of it stops at the surface. Ours opens thousands of microscopic channels first, sixteen times finer than a pore, so the active goes down rather than sitting on top. Then it takes its time. Each dose is held inside a lipid shell that breaks down over hours instead of releasing everything at once, which is the reason this does not leave you peeling for a fortnight. What arrives is retinol, one step from prescription strength rather than retinol's two, alongside two peptides that signal your skin to rebuild its own collagen.
The 0.1% retinal booster that goes below the surface instead of sitting on it.
info *Based on real women’s experiences with consistent use
Most retinols give you a choice: strong enough to work, or gentle enough to keep using. This one was built to remove the choice, by changing how the retinal arrives rather than how much of it there is.
I started using it on my neck as well which I know it isnt really sold for. The horizontal lines there are the thing that gives my age away and they are softer than they were. I am 63 and I have been at this about ten weeks now.
Bought this for the lines honestly, the pores were an afterthought. Woke up the next morning and the ones either side of my nose looked smaller which I did not think was possible overnight. Three weeks in and thats still the thing I notice most. I'm 51 and genuinely surprised.
Bought this for my sister after she had a bad time with a prescription retinoid and swore off the whole thing. She has been using it six weeks now with no peeling and no redness at all. She asked me to order her another one, so I suppose that is the review.
My foundation used to settle into the lines on my forehead by lunchtime and it does not do that anymore, which is what I actually wanted. Four stars only because the tube is a nightmare to get the last of it out of and I know there is product left in there. Otherwise I have been very happy with it.
The folds either side of my mouth are noticeably shallower after about six weeks, which is the reason I bought it. Only reason this isn't five stars is that it took almost two weeks to turn up and the tracking never updated. The product itself I have no complaints about at all.
ok so I wasnt expecting the glow. my skin had gone really dull and grey looking over the winter and about three weeks in people started asking if I had been away somewhere. still using it every night and my skin looks clearer than it has in years.
I almost didnt order this because I have tried three different retinols and gave up on all of them. The two lines across my forehead have actually softened, not gone but softer, and it took about two weeks. My daughter noticed before I said anything to her.
The crepey skin under my eyes is what I bought this for and it's the first thing that's made any difference. I was nervous using a retinal that close but the directions say to stay on the bone and not the lid. Four weeks and my concealer isnt sitting in the lines anymore.
I am 56 and the slackness along my jaw was starting to bother me more than the lines were. This has firmed that up more than anything else I have used. You can feel a tightness across your face the morning after, which sounds odd but its the best way I can describe it.
This is my second tube. The rough patchy texture on my cheeks smoothed out within the first month and I did not want to risk running out before the next one arrived. A little goes a very long way so they do last.
I bought this after avoiding vitamin A products for years. Not one bit of irritation, and my skin is genuinely difficult. Worth it for that alone honestly.
The frown lines between my brows had got quite deep. They are still there when I raise my eyebrows but at rest they have eased. I put it on after cleansing and before my moisturiser. I am 47 and this is the first thing that has worked.
I bought this for the lines but the brightness surprised me. Two weeks and my complexion looked more even and awake.
I wanted my makeup to sit properly again. My base goes on smoothly for the first time in years. I will keep using it and see where it gets to.
My under eyes looked crinkled in every photograph. I have been using it four nights a week and that suits me.
The horizontal lines on my neck were the thing giving my age away. The lines there are softer than they were, which I did not expect. It has done what I hoped it would.
The looseness around my jaw was the thing I noticed most. You can feel a tightness the morning after, which is hard to describe. Very happy with how it has turned out.
I wanted something for the horizontal lines on my forehead. About six weeks before I would call it a real difference. Cannot fault it so far.
The lines on my forehead had started showing even when I was relaxed. The frown lines went first, the horizontal ones took longer. I am 61 and pleasantly surprised by this.
I wanted my makeup to sit properly again. Concealer has stopped gathering under my eyes. I started every other night before going nightly. Not something I say often about skincare.
I have rosacea prone skin and retinoids have never worked for me. There is a slight tickle when it goes on but nothing more.
The looseness around my jaw was the thing I noticed most. It is not a facelift and anyone claiming that is not being honest.
I have had forehead lines since my late thirties and they were deepening. It was slow at first and then quite obvious around week three.
I have rosacea prone skin and retinoids have never worked for me. No stinging, no tightness, nothing I would call a reaction. Worth it for that alone honestly.
I wanted something for dullness more than anything else. A month in and the grey cast had gone completely. Would order this again without thinking twice.
The pores across my cheeks were the thing I wanted sorted. About a month in and they are much less obvious. I have already ordered a second tube.
I wanted something for the creases around my mouth. About eight weeks and I would say CLEARLY improved. I use sunscreen every morning without fail now. I have already ordered a second tube.
My base was separating and settling into EVERY crease. Three weeks and everything sat better on my skin. Genuinely pleased with this one.
I wanted my makeup to sit properly again. My base goes on smoothly for the first time in years. It tingles a little when it goes on and then settles. I am 58 and I did not expect much at all.

Yes, and it is one of the main places people do. Stay on the orbital bone, the firm ridge you can feel underneath your eye, and keep it off the lid itself. Most retinoids tell you to avoid the eye area altogether. This one is buffered enough that you do not have to, which is the whole reason it works on the fine lines that live there.
