Retinol has been everywhere in the skincare world.
In very simple terms, retinol is a type of retinoid, which comes from Vitamin A. Vitamin A in its various forms has the ability to stimulate the production of new, health skin cells, meaning that it is a fan favourite for preventing, and even reversing, signs of aging. Retinol can be quite irritating, but this product has a very low, very mild percentage of it - don't be scared by 'intense' in the product name! 
The ingredient list also stars Bakuchiol, (which is a great alternative to retinol) making it a good starter for those new to retinol – or even those who find other products to be far too harsh for their skin.

The gentle formula is thanks to multiple types of Centella Asiatica, which as a baeve fave ensures that the formula actively soothes and strengthens the skin barrier (outer skin layer), counteracting any potential dryness or irritation from the retinoids present. Niacinamide and Liquorice Root Extract both work to brighten the skin and improve dark spots (alongside the retinoids), and Tocopherol and Ginseng Berry Extract help to protect the skin from environmental stressors (like the sun and pollution). These ingredients are important as retinoids can make your skin very vulnerable in the beginning stages of use. The important thing to remember with retinoids, is that slow and steady wins the race, and consistency is key!

Well suited: regular, dry, combo, above 16 years of age, under 40 years of age

Well suited, but be wary: oily, acne-prone, sensitive, mature, and those 40 years of age and over (while there is synthetic fragrance in this product, it's one of the last ingredients, so we don't recommend that you completely strike this product out unless your skin can't handle any fragrance)

Not well suited: psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, pregnancy, those under 16 years of age, and those wanting to avoid fungal acne triggers

Benefits

  • Encourages skin cell turnover and collagen production (the stuff that makes your skin lovely and plump) with ingredients like Retinol, Retinal and Bakuchiol
  • Multiple forms of Centella Asiatica, Panthenol and Ceramide NP work to soothe and calm skin irritated by retinoids, also ensuring the skin’s natural moisture barrier is more resilient to daily stress and exposure to the elements

Targets

  • This serum is specifically targeting signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness and a dull complexion, and assists in reducing these signs and bringing back a glow to the skin
  • The presence of multiple repairing ingredients assists uneven and sensitive skin, improving the health of your skin barrier

How to use

  • After washing your face at during your nighttime routine, and following your toner and any light serums, apply a pea sized amount to your dry face
  • Start using retinoids only once the first week, twice the second week, three times the third week and so on… but don’t apply this serum daily as it can increase sensitivity – we at baeve don’t personally use retinoids more than three times a week
  • Continue with your regular nighttime routine, making sure you use a hydrating moisturiser
  • Always, always, always follow up with a sunscreen the next morning!

Important notes:

  • Make sure you don't use any chemical exfoliators (AHA/BHAs), Vitamin C or acne treatments in the same routine as this product
  • If you have high sensitivity to synthetic fragrances, then do not use this product
  • Due to the use of multiple triggers, including Palmitic and Stearic Acid, this product isn't deemed fungal acne safe

Caution:

  • Always patch test in inner elbow before use, especially if you have sensitive skin
  • Discontinue use if signs of irritation appear
  • For external use only
  • Avoid contact with eyes
  • Do not apply to broken or inflamed skin
  • Keep out of reach of children
  • Store in cool and dry places, away from direct sunlight
