The formula uses a 1% liposomal retinal complex with retinal listed at 100 ppm. Liposomes improve delivery while aiming to reduce irritation versus traditional retinoids. - Can beginners use it?
Yes—start 2×/week, buffer with moisturizer, and increase slowly as tolerated. - AM or PM?
PM is preferred. If used in the morning, layer SPF 30+ generously. - Can I combine with acids or vitamin C?
Yes, but alternate nights if you’re sensitive. This formula already includes a gentle vitamin C derivative. - Finish & feel?
Light cream that absorbs quickly and leaves a smooth, non-sticky finish.
