Description

All the anti-aging results, none of the retinol drama. Traditional retinol can leave skin red, dry and irritated — this advanced clinical cream delivers age-defying results in a hydrating, nourishing formula instead. It’s powered by Peptilum, an ingredient the brand reports works 2x faster and better than traditional retinol, for visibly smoother, plumper-looking skin.

  • Retinol-level results in a non-sensitizing, hypoallergenic cream
  • Powered by Peptilum for advanced anti-aging benefits
  • Carotenoid-rich oils and illipe butter to revive the look of elasticity
  • Hydrating and nourishing — no irritation, redness or dryness
Instructions for use
Apply a pearl-sized amount to your face and neck as the final step in your skincare routine, morning and night.

Frequently asked questions

What does this cream do?
It's a rich-yet-hydrating clinical cream that gives you retinol-like smoothing using Peptilum, a gentler alternative — helping skin look smoother and plumper without the redness, dryness or irritation traditional retinol can cause.
How is it different from regular retinol?
It's designed to deliver age-defying-looking results in a non-sensitizing, hypoallergenic formula. The brand reports its Peptilum ingredient works faster than traditional retinol, without the sensitizing side effects.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
It's formulated to be non-sensitizing and hypoallergenic, so it's a thoughtful option if traditional retinol has irritated your skin before. As always, patch-test first if you're prone to reactions.
How and when do I use it?
Apply a pearl-sized amount to your face and neck as the final step in your routine, morning and night.
Is it clean and vegan?
Yes — it's EWG Verified, MADE SAFE certified, vegan and cruelty-free, and formulated without synthetic fragrance, parabens or phthalates.
