Vitamin A Palmitate
Gentle retinoid
Retinyl palmitate, the mildest retinoid ester. Skin converts it slowly, which means far less irritation than pure retinol and far less punch. Right trade for something you use twice a week.
good things take time
We publish the whole INCI list, not just the flattering parts.
Night use only.
The gentlest retinoid ester.
Elasticity and energy.
Firmness, not resurfacing.
This uses Vitamin A Palmitate, the mildest form of retinoid. That's deliberate: strong enough to be worth including, gentle enough for occasional use. It is not a substitute for a nightly retinol serum, and we won't price it like one.
Two hero actives, four base actives shared across all our masks. Tap any one.
Gentle retinoid
Retinyl palmitate, the mildest retinoid ester. Skin converts it slowly, which means far less irritation than pure retinol and far less punch. Right trade for something you use twice a week.
Elasticity, energy
Ginsenosides support circulation and elasticity, which is why skin looks less flat and more resilient after. Traditional use with modern backing.
Calms, carries
Second ingredient after water in every mask. Soothes on contact and carries the actives in.
Evens tone
In every mask, not just the bright ones. Works on uneven tone and the look of pores, and buffers retinoid irritation.
Holds water
Why skin looks plumper straight after. Binds water into the upper layers.
Gentle resurfacing
A mask-strength AHA. Loosens dull surface cells, but paired with a retinoid it's why this is a twice-a-week mask, not a nightly one.
Retinol gets oversold harder than anything else in skincare. Here's the boundary.
Retinyl palmitate at mask strength, twice weekly, is a fraction of a nightly retinol routine. Different product, different job.
Established lines need sustained prescription-strength treatment or clinical work. This softens their appearance.
Don't use this the same night as another retinoid, an AHA/BHA treatment or vitamin C. Give it its own evening.
Retinoids and glycolic acid both increase sun sensitivity. Use this at night and wear SPF the next morning, non-negotiable. Pregnant or breastfeeding? Check with your doctor before using any retinoid.
