Ready for more from your Vitamin A?
You’ve started your Vitamin A journey. Your skin has built some tolerance. Now you want to see more noticeable results.
Fine lines are becoming more visible. Your skin feels less firm than it used to. Texture is uneven, pigmentation is lingering and your complexion could use more clarity and radiance.
But stronger doesn’t have to mean harsher.
Retinol Plus combines encapsulated Retinol with a carefully selected blend of barrier-supportive, hydrating and brightening ingredients, helping you progress your Vitamin A routine while continuing to care for your skin.
The result is skin that looks smoother, firmer, clearer and more refined with consistent use.
WHY STEP UP TO RETINOL PLUS?
Retinol is one of the most researched forms of Vitamin A for improving the visible signs of ageing and supporting clearer, smoother skin.
It works by encouraging skin renewal and supporting collagen production, while helping to regulate oil and refine the appearance of pores and texture.
But more powerful actives need more support.
That’s why Retinol Plus combines encapsulated Retinol with:
• Niacinamide to support the skin barrier and improve the appearance of uneven tone
• Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate and plump
• Peptides to support firmer, more resilient-looking skin
• Mandelic Acid to gently refine the appearance of texture
• Licorice Root to brighten and soothe
So while Retinol is getting to work, your skin is still receiving the hydration and support it needs.

Think of it as progression, not replacement.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AND WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:
• Smoother-looking skin - helps refine the appearance of uneven texture and soften the look of fine lines.
• Firmer-looking skin - supports collagen production and skin elasticity for a more toned, refined appearance.
• Brighter, more even skin - helps improve the appearance of pigmentation, dark spots and uneven tone.
• Clearer-looking skin - helps regulate oil and encourage healthy skin renewal, making it particularly useful for congested or breakout-prone skin.
• Hydrated, supported skin - hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide and Peptides help provide hydration and barrier support alongside your Vitamin A.
IS RETINOL PLUS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Retinol Plus is ideal if:
• You’ve already used Vitamin A and want to step up your routine
• You want to target fine lines and loss of firmness
• Your skin looks dull, uneven or rough
• You’re concerned about pigmentation or uneven tone
• You experience congestion, breakouts or excess oil
• You want a more advanced Vitamin A serum without abandoning your barrier-care approach
New to Vitamin A or have sensitive skin?
Start with our Vitamin A Booster first and allow your skin to build tolerance before progressing to Retinol Plus.
KEY INGREDIENTS:
• Encapsulated Retinol – A stabilised form of Vitamin A designed to release gradually, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines, texture and uneven tone.
• Niacinamide – A versatile barrier-supporting ingredient that helps improve the appearance of uneven tone, pores and redness while supporting healthier-looking skin.
• Hyaluronic Acid – Attracts and helps retain moisture, leaving skin looking plumper, smoother and more hydrated.
• Peptides – Support the appearance of firmer, more resilient skin and complement your anti-ageing routine.
• Mandelic Acid – A gentle AHA that helps refine the appearance of texture and brighten dull-looking skin.
• Licorice Root Extract – Helps brighten the appearance of uneven pigmentation while providing soothing benefits.
HOW TO USE
Evening only.
Apply after cleansing and your Vitamin B Booster, followed by your Bare Skin moisturiser.
Start with 2–3 nights per week, then gradually increase to every second night as your skin builds tolerance.
Apply approximately a pea-sized amount to your face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
Remember: more is not better.
Using more product or introducing it too quickly won't give you faster results. Consistency and tolerance are what matter.
If your skin becomes dry, red or irritated, reduce the frequency until your skin settles.
Always wear SPF during the day.
Not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

On non-retinol nights, focus on hydration and barrier support rather than adding more active ingredients. Think Vitamin B Serum, Dewy Collagen Mask, Moisturiser or Nourishing Facial Oil.
