Key Ingredients:

• Retinol: Promotes cell turnover and collagen synthesis, targets wrinkles

• Niacinamide: Brightens and supports barrier health (if included)

Best Used Morning or Evening Routine?

Complimented By:

• Hydrating serums (hyaluronic acid, snail mucin)

• Niacinamide serums for enhanced brightening and calming effects

Avoid Layering With:

• AHA/BHA/PHA exfoliants – can cause over-exfoliation
