If you're new to Intelligent Retinol we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours in advance. Learn how to patch test here.

Step 2

Allow to absorb then follow with a moisturiser. We recommend Advanced Night Restore which is specifically designed to be used after vitamin A.

NOTE

Retinol application should be phased in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Retinol 3TR and Intelligent Retinol?
Retinol 3TR is our original, youth-renewing vitamin A serum that kick-started our innovations within vitamin A technology. Intelligent Retinol is based on our original retinol serum but is enhanced with climbazole - a renowned retinol booster for enhanced age-defying power. Intelligent Retinol is also available in a choice of 3 progressive strengths.
What makes Intelligent Retinol ‘intelligent’?
Retinol is the classic and most well-known form of vitamin A. As the Experts in Vitamin A, we have optimised our retinol serums to be ‘intelligent’, elevating their visible results while ensuring they’re gentle on the skin. Intelligent Retinol is a supercharged vitamin A formula, enriched with climbazole - a proven retinol-booster. Climbazole has the ability to increase the power of retinol, without increasing its irritation potential. Along with our Time Release Technology, Intelligent Retinol offers visible results without the common downsides associated with retinol formulas.
What's the difference between Intelligent Retinol and Crystal Retinal?
The main difference is that Intelligent Retinol is formulated with retinOL, whereas Crystal Retinal is formulated with next-generation retinAL. While retinol is a great option for vitamin A beginners, retinal is proven to work up to 11x faster than standard retinol in delivering visible age-defying results.* *G. Seigenthaler et al., Biochemical Journal, 1990, 268, pp 371-378
When and how should I apply Intelligent Retinol?
Intelligent Retinol should only be applied as part of your evening regime. After cleansing in the evening, massage 4 drops evenly across face, neck and décolletage. Follow with a moisturiser.
Can I use Intelligent Retinol while pregnant or breastfeeding?
As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy or breastfeeding. We strongly recommend discussing the ingredients with your GP or midwife before use. We do, however, generally recommend avoiding vitamin A use while pregnant or breastfeeding.
