Main highlights

Rounded off with natural ingredients – to increase the effectiveness even further, we have formulated an active ingredient complex adapted to the formula of birch leaves and cucumber extract. The birch leaf extract activates skin metabolism and provides more elasticity, while cucumber juice stimulates collagen production and moisturises and vitamins to your skin.
Plump filled with highly weird, natural active ingredients – our formula also contains hyaluronic acid, the all-round talent for radiant skin, and a stimulating vitamin C complex. Both active ingredients improve the effect of retinol and supplement our serum with a refreshing and nourishing note that you will feel from the first use.
Organic, vegan, made in Germany, the production in Germany allows us to meet our high quality standards. So we are always on site and can carry out continuous controls to guarantee our high production standard. In addition, we support small and regional production facilities in Germany.
Natural and sustainable organic cosmetics based on organic aloe vera – your body is a miracle of nature. Therefore, we believe that nature also offers a solution for every skin problem. We therefore only use natural and natural ingredients of the highest quality. You will never find doubtful ingredients such as parabens, microplastics and silicones in our products.
High-quality retinol in unique formulation – the effectiveness of retinol is determined mainly by the formula. We use a specially integrated form of vitamin A, which is only metabolised by the body to retinol and released in a time-delayed manner. Therefore, our formula is particularly light and temperature stable and very well tolerated. Dermatest also confirms this with the test rating "Very Good".

Main highlights

This water-free solution contains 1% pure retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearance of fine lines, photo damage and general skin ageing.
Please note: Retinol can cause considerable irritation, redness and exfoliation in the early stages of treatment, especially around the eyes and mouth, while the skin builds tolerance. If you have not used high-strength retinol formulas in the past, we strongly recommend that you start your retinol regime with our retinol 0.2% in squalane and get used to higher strengths of retinol 0.5% in squalane and retinol 1% in squalane as your skin will build tolerance. You will achieve the same end results without the unpleasant redness and exfoliation as you go.
Instructions: Apply a small amount to the face as part of your skincare regime, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid direct sunlight. Please note: Retinol can cause irritation, redness and exfoliation, especially around the eyes and mouth, while the skin builds tolerance. If persistent irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Use only on unbroken skin.
