For: All skin types For those of us overachievers always trying to preserve our skin’s most vibrant years, it takes a little more than just sunscreen and not sweating the small stuff. Sometimes our skin needs a little extra kick, and while retinol definitely gets the job done, it has a reputation for being the whole boot factory as far as that’s concerned. We love retinol’s ability to help mitigate signs of premature (or timely) fine lines, loss of elasticity, and general dullness, while boosting skin’s ability to care for itself. This powerhouse serum is our most deeply penetrating yet, with a strategic team of 2.5% Encapsulated Retinaldehyde, skin density-building Monk’s Pepper, skin matrix-repairing Crocus Chrysanthus Bulb Extract, and phospholipids. This serum’s nourishing gel-oil emollient base buffers our actives and provides a moisturizing cushion to help ward off irritation and dryness for your bounciest, firmest, and most radiant skin yet.
