nightly retinol: 0.7% encapsulated retinol

Size

a rich nighttime cream with 0.7% encapsulated retinol, safflower seed oil, and squalane. retinol softens fine lines and evens tone over time. this formulation is stabilized and extended-release via a solid lipid capsule that protects it in the jar and releases it gradually on skin.

active ingredients:

encapsulated retinol (0.7%), safflower seed oil, squalane

research:

in a year-long, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trial, 0.1% retinol reduced fine lines by 44% and mottled pigmentation by 84%, with improvement over placebo at every checkpoint [Randhawa 2015]. a 24-week randomized trial of 0.4% retinol improved fine wrinkles and increased collagen markers in skin biopsies [Kafi 2007]. those trials used 0.1% and 0.4%; ours is 0.7%, released slowly.

no fads, no misleading claims. see more research.

vegan. fragrance-free. made in usa with global materials.

results

retinol rewards patience. in the year-long trial we cite, improvement over placebo showed at the first checkpoint and kept building through week 52. expect months, not weeks. start 2-3 nights a week and build up to nightly use if you're new to retinol.
