Really smart design having one for targeted spots and one for the whole face.
Retinal & Retinol Firming Duo
Description
Meet the Retinal & Retinol Firming Duo — two targeted vitamin A treatments designed to give you more control over how and where you use your firming routine.
The Retinal Booster is a concentrated 15ml treatment with 0.1% retinal, 3% Matrixyl 3000 and 1% panthenol. Its polished metal applicator tip lets you place a precise drop exactly where you want it, making it ideal for areas such as the forehead, smile lines and around the orbital area while avoiding the eyes and lash line.
The Retinol Serum is a 30ml whole-face treatment with 0.1% retinol, a 9 peptide complex and 1% panthenol, dispensed from a convenient pump for quick, even application across larger areas.
- 0.1% retinal in the targeted Booster
- 0.1% retinol in the whole-face Serum
- 3% Matrixyl 3000 in the Booster
- 9 peptide complex in the Serum
- 1% panthenol in both formulas
- Use either treatment individually or combine both in one routine
Choose Your Treatment
Retinal Booster — 15ml
Best for precise, targeted application. The slim aluminium tube features a polished metal applicator tip that feels cool against the skin and allows you to place a small amount exactly where you want it.
Retinol Serum — 30ml
Best for broader, whole-face application. The pump bottle dispenses a convenient amount of serum for spreading evenly across the face.
The Duo
Use the Serum across the face and the Booster on areas where you want more precise application. Each treatment can also be used independently.
How To Use
1. Start with clean, dry skin
Cleanse your face and allow the skin to dry before applying your vitamin A treatment.
2. Apply your chosen treatment
For the Booster, gently squeeze a small drop onto the metal tip and place it onto the targeted area before smoothing outward. For the Serum, dispense one pump and spread a thin, even layer across the face.
3. Follow with moisturiser
Finish your routine with your usual moisturiser to support skin comfort and hydration.
4. Introduce vitamin A gradually
If your skin is new to retinal or retinol, begin every second or third night and gradually increase use as your skin becomes accustomed to it.
5. Wear sunscreen during the day
Vitamin A can increase sensitivity to sunlight, so daily sunscreen is an important part of your routine.

Care & Important Information
Vitamin A products may cause temporary dryness, flaking or sensitivity when first introduced. Begin gradually rather than applying more product in an attempt to speed up results.
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes and lash line. If product enters the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Wear sunscreen during the day while using retinal or retinol products. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak with your doctor before using vitamin A skincare.
Store both treatments somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight. Wipe the Booster's metal applicator clean after use and replace the cap securely.
Patch test before first use if your skin is sensitive, and discontinue use if persistent irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.
