What’s the difference between the Perfection Retinol Complex variants?
All variants are suitable for all skin types and equally effective, as they contain very similar key active ingredients. It is a matter of preference if you want the consistency of a serum or light cream.
Serum (0.2% and 1%)
A Hybrid Serum-Cream with a light, airy texture infused with Ceramides and Avena Sativa Oat. It offers a lightweight and hydrating sensation, differentiating it from the denser light cream variant.
Light Cream (0.1%, 0.2% and 1%)
Lightweight and moisturizing! Formulated with the same active ingredients as the Serum, enriched with Ceramides and Peptides (Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester or Acetyl Hexapeptide-8) that help with maintaining skin's elasticity. This variant provides ample hydration while feeling light on the skin.

🤲🏼 How To Use: Start slowly, applying retinol once a week and gradually increasing to 2-3 times a week based on your skin's response. Find the frequency that works best for you. For nighttime use, apply after cleansing and follow your routine. Wear SPF during the day and avoid prolonged sun exposure. To minimize irritation in sensitive areas like the lips, eyes, and corners of the eyes, apply a thin layer of moisturizer before using retinol for added protection and hydration.
✅ Works Well With: Retinol and Niacinamide are both powerful skincare ingredients that offer complementary benefits, making them work well together in a skincare routine. Retinol can sometimes cause dryness and irritation. To combat these effects, it is recommended to use a moisturizer.
❌ Avoid Using With: To prevent potential interactions, it is important not to mix retinol with exfoliating acids and vitamin C. Instead, use these active ingredients separately, such as incorporating them into different instances of your skincare routine. For example, you can use exfoliating acids in the morning and reserve the application of retinol for nighttime.
🧑🏻 Who Should Use It: Can be used by anyone who wants to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging, control acne, and achieve brighter and smoother skin. It is suitable for all skin types, but those with sensitive skin may want to start with the 0.2% concentration and gradually work their way up to the 1% concentration. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult with your healthcare provider before using any skincare products containing Retinol.
