Fine lines, uneven texture and a loss of bounce can benefit from a consistent evening routine. This lightweight cream combines 0.15% pure retinol with bakuchiol in a comfortable moisturising base.

The light, hydrating texture spreads smoothly over the face. Centella leaf water, panthenol and betaine balance your evening retinol step with moisture.

Begin with a pea-sized amount over clean, dry facial skin. Keep clear of eyelids, lips and the corners of the nose, then follow with moisturiser if needed.

Consistent use improves the appearance of fine lines, rough texture and uneven-looking tone. The before-and-after visual shows the skin appearance assessed in the product test.

Clinical testing measured a 4.17% improvement in inner-skin elasticity and a 2.09% improvement in pore-area elasticity. Testing was conducted by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences from 28 January to 19 March 2026.

The formula contains 1,500ppm retinol, equivalent to 0.15%. Introduce it on two evenings each week and increase frequency gradually as your skin becomes comfortable.

Retinol and bakuchiol target the look of fine lines and loss of firmness. Panthenol, madecassoside, Ceramide NP and betaine in the formula replenish moisture and comfort skin.

Choose this cream when you want a moisturising retinol step for fine lines, rough texture, uneven-looking tone and reduced firmness. Its lightweight texture fits into a simple evening routine.

Retinol addresses the look of wrinkles and uneven texture. A gradual routine keeps your application consistent without starting with a large amount or layering several retinoids.

Patch test a small amount before facial use. Start twice weekly on dry skin and reduce the frequency if your skin feels irritated.

Use at night after cleansing. Apply your small amount evenly and add a moisturiser afterwards when skin needs extra comfort. Finish the following morning routine with sunscreen.

Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream is the facial cream in this retinol range. The pictured serum and eye roller are separate products. Choose one facial retinoid step while introducing retinol; do not layer multiple retinoids in the same routine.

The complete ingredient list is included here and in the Full Ingredients accordion. Check it when choosing skincare for your routine.

Patch test first. Begin two evenings a week on clean, dry skin.
Spread a pea-sized amount over the face, avoiding eyelids, lips and nose corners. Follow with moisturiser if needed.
