Retinol Vitamin A Treatment
Retinol has a reputation: real results, but a rough few weeks first. Flaking, tightness, redness. Plenty of people give up before they reach the good part.
The irritation comes from a specific place. Ordinary retinol has to be converted by the skin in several steps before it does anything, and those steps are what the skin reacts to. Granactive Retinoid® is a newer generation that skips most of them. That is why it can work at a strength that counts, without the rough few weeks first.
At 2% it goes after fine lines, uneven texture, the look of pores and pigmentation. Most people see smoother skin within weeks, and softer lines follow as the results build over three months of regular use.
Ceramides and hyaluronic acid keep the barrier intact while it works, and lactobacillus ferments help the skin adapt to it. That is what stops the flaking before it starts. Ceramide NP is documented to keep skin hydrated for up to 72 hours.
The treatment is fragrance-free and never greasy. Use it in the evening on clean, dry skin, and follow with your moisturiser. Start with a few evenings a week and build up as your skin keeps pace.
Retinoids are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Use Bakuchiol Anti-Ageing Oil instead, which works on many of the same concerns.
98.4% natural ingredients.

HOW

Clinically studied ingredients, at the doses we use:
Almost half saw a visible improvement in 12 weeks, almost twice as many as with placebo
Significantly smoother texture, where neither placebo nor conventional retinyl palmitate changed
More even tone, with fewer UV-induced spots
Ceramides and hyaluronic acid to keep the barrier comfortable
From a 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 2% Granactive Retinoid, the exact level we use. Texture and UV spots were measured by digital image analysis. Results vary from person to person.
Granactive Retinoid® 2%. A next-generation vitamin A derivative that works on lines, texture and pigmentation with far less irritation than traditional retinol.
Ceramide NP. A barrier lipid identical to one the skin makes itself, keeping the barrier intact while the retinoid works.
Hyaluronic Acid. In two molecular weights, hydrating at the surface and further down.
Lactobacillus Ferment. Supports the skin's own balance and helps it adapt to the retinoid.
Shea Butter and Vitamin E. Soften the skin and protect against the daily wear that shows up as dullness.

Materials and recycling
Packaging is the part of the product you throw away. That is why we spend time on it.
At least 50% of the plastic in our bottles and tubes is post-consumer recycled: plastic that has already been used and collected, rather than newly made. The rest is virgin plastic, and we work to bring that share down.
Not everything is plastic. Some products come in glass, others in aluminium that is itself recycled material. Both can be melted down and used again many times over.
Our outer cartons are paper.
How to sort it
Plastic bottles, tubes, pumps and caps: plastic. They do not need to be clean.
Glass bottles: glass.
Aluminium tubes: metal.
The carton: paper.
We are not there yet. Half of our plastic is still virgin, and that is the half we are working on.

Den er behagelig , men ved stadig ikke om den virker
Elsker tekstur og den meget fugtgivende formel. Simpelthen så god.
Great texture and noticeable results. I’ll be repurchasing for sure.
A very gentle retinol product that’s perfect for daily use. I’ve seen fantastic results.
Such a lovely soft cream that absorbs quickly. I use it with the niacinamide serum and the results after just one month are incredible!
Why it works
Traditional retinol has to be converted by the skin in several steps before it does anything, and those steps are where the irritation comes from. Granactive Retinoid® skips most of that, which is why it can work at a meaningful strength without the peeling.
Paired with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, the barrier stays intact while the retinoid works underneath. Most people see smoother texture within weeks, and softer lines follow as the results build over three months of regular use.
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, an advanced retinoid. It renews the surface and works on wrinkles, texture and tone, and it promotes collagen production, with less of the irritation that comes with traditional retinoids. In a 12-week double-blind study on the ingredient, skin texture improved significantly against placebo, with none of the irritation that traditional retinol brings.
Lipids the skin makes itself, and part of what holds the barrier together. They seal water in and keep the outside out. When the barrier runs short of them, water leaves faster than a cream can put it back.
Something the skin already produces. Hyaluronic acid attracts water and holds on to it, so skin looks plumper and fine lines look shallower while it is there.
