This plant-based retinol alternative fights signs of aging including wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven skin tone to deliver your most youthful-looking glow. It’s certified microbiome-friendly, non-irritating and non-photosensitizing, so it can be used during the day and alongside other products that you typically have to avoid while using synthetic retinol, such as Vitamin C and exfoliators!

Can I use this product with my Vitamin C and/or exfoliants?

Our Phyto-Retinol Vitamin A Booster is microbiome friendly and non-irritating, meaning it can be paired, and used with Vitamin C, exfoliants and other skincare products that one typically needs to avoid when using synthetic retinol. Not only that, this product is non-photosensitizing so you can safely, and confidently use it during the day. As a reminder, we always suggest applying SPF as the final step in your AM routine to avoid any negative effects of UV rays.

What is the difference between Phyto-Retinol and synthetic retinol?

Synthetic retinols are packed with chemicals, like BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) which is known to take a serious toll on your skin. While synthetic retinol forces skin-cell turnover, it is incredibly harsh and strips your skin of all of the good that your skin needs to remain healthy, causing irritation, redness, discoloration, flaking, peeling and dehydration. Phyto-Retinol is packed with Provitamin A Carotenoids, (this is the good stuff) derived directly from plants. Your skin naturally stores all of these vitamins and minerals, which are then converted to Vitamin A, delivering a gentle dose of retinoic acid directly into the skin. Essentially, your skin is doing exactly what it needs to do, and is supposed to do, all on its own! As this is an intuitive process, not forced, your skin will not be left triggered in any way giving you all of the retinol benefits without any of the drawbacks. A smarter way to retinol.

Do I need a moisturizer after using Phyto-Retinol?

Yes! We recommend applying a cream moisturizer on top of the Phyto-Retinol Vitamin A Booster, like our Chebula Extreme Cream.
