Retinoids can create remarkable visible changes in aging skin.
But only if your skin tolerates them well enough to use them consistently. (Many people struggle with this.)
Ultra Gentle Retinol Serum combines 1% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), an advanced retinoid, with an extraordinary blend of barrier-supporting lipids and antioxidant-rich botanical oils to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, texture, firmness, and radiance while supporting skin comfort.
Rather than treating dryness and sensitivity as an afterthought, this lipid-rich serum surrounds its Vitamin A technology with squalane, avocado, grape seed, camellia, passionfruit, cherry kernel, jojoba, blackberry, prickly pear, chia, pomegranate, rice lipids, and bisabolol.
The result is a silky, deeply nourishing retinoid treatment created especially for dry, mature, sensitive-feeling skin and anyone who has found traditional retinol difficult to tolerate.
With consistent use, skin appears smoother, firmer, more refined, and beautifully renewed.
Traditional retinol can be transformative.
It can also leave some people dealing with persistent dryness, flaking, sensitivity, or irritation that makes consistent use difficult.
Ultra Gentle Retinol Serum approaches Vitamin A differently.
Instead of placing the retinoid into a lightweight formula and expecting your moisturizer to compensate for dryness afterward, this serum delivers HPR within an exceptionally nourishing lipid-rich base.
Skin receives its renewal treatment and replenishing lipids in the same step.
That means you don't have to choose between meaningful age management and beautifully nourished skin.
Despite its name, Ultra Gentle Retinol Serum doesn't actually contain traditional retinol.
It contains Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), a next-generation member of the retinoid family.
That distinction matters.
HPR allows us to provide genuine Vitamin A-based skincare benefits while taking a different approach than conventional retinol formulas.
And the retinoid is only part of what makes this serum special.
HPR provides the central skin-renewing technology.
Dimethyl isosorbide helps support effective delivery.
Avocado oil and an extensive botanical lipid blend create a nourishing treatment base.
Squalane, chia, pomegranate, rice lipids, and bisabolol provide concentrated barrier-supportive conditioning.
And antioxidant-rich fruit and seed oils help defend against environmental oxidative stress.
It's a sophisticated combination of renewal + nourishment + barrier support in one nighttime serum.

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is an advanced retinoid ester used to deliver many of the cosmetic benefits associated with Vitamin A.
Unlike retinol, which requires conversion within the skin before reaching its active retinoid form, HPR is an ester of retinoic acid designed to interact more directly with retinoid receptors.
It helps support healthy skin renewal while improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, visible pores, firmness, and overall skin quality.
Its combination of performance and potential for improved tolerability makes HPR particularly interesting for those who want the benefits of a sophisticated retinoid routine without immediately reaching for a more aggressive formula.
A silky, lightweight emollient with excellent skin compatibility.
Squalane helps soften the skin, replenish surface lipids, and reduce moisture loss without the excessively heavy feel associated with some oils.
It gives Ultra Gentle Retinol Serum much of its elegant slip while supporting a healthy moisture barrier.
Rich, cushiony avocado oil provides fatty acids, phytosterols, and unsaponifiable components that help nourish dry and mature skin.
Within this formula, it creates a beautifully conditioning environment for HPR while helping counter the dryness that can sometimes accompany Vitamin A use.
Naturally rich in beneficial fatty acids and antioxidant compounds, chia helps condition the skin while supporting moisture retention and barrier comfort.
Pomegranate contributes an unusual fatty-acid profile and antioxidant plant compounds, making it particularly appealing for mature and environmentally stressed skin.
A beautifully soothing botanical compound commonly associated with chamomile.
Bisabolol helps calm and condition the skin, making it an especially thoughtful companion to an active retinoid treatment.
Rice-derived lipids help condition the skin's surface and support moisture retention while contributing naturally occurring lipid components.
They complement the serum's broader focus on keeping skin soft, supple, and comfortable throughout a retinoid routine.
A concentrated fraction of olive oil containing phytosterols and other lipid-soluble compounds.
Olive unsaponifiables help replenish and condition the skin while complementing squalane and rice lipids within the serum's barrier-supporting system.
Also known as Tsubaki oil, camellia has a long history of use in Japanese beauty rituals.
Its elegant fatty-acid profile provides substantial nourishment without an excessively heavy feel, while naturally occurring antioxidant compounds help defend against oxidative environmental stress.
Also known as maracuja oil, passionfruit is naturally rich in linoleic acid and provides lightweight conditioning that helps support softness, flexibility, and barrier health.
A lighter botanical oil that helps balance the serum's richer lipids.
Grape seed oil provides fatty acids and antioxidant compounds while helping maintain the silky, elegant feel of the finished formula.
A luxurious botanical oil naturally containing essential fatty acids and antioxidant compounds. It provides additional conditioning support for dry, mature, and environmentally stressed skin.
These fruit-derived oils contribute additional fatty acids and antioxidant compounds, helping round out the formula's diverse botanical lipid profile while promoting soft, supple-looking skin.
Retinoids influence processes involved in healthy skin renewal and many of the visible changes we associate with aging.
But effective age management isn't only about stimulating renewal.
Mature skin also needs lipids, antioxidants, moisture retention, and barrier support.
Ultra Gentle Retinol Serum addresses both sides of that equation.
Renew:
HPR supports healthy skin turnover and helps improve visible signs of aging.
Replenish:
Avocado, squalane, camellia, passionfruit, grape seed, jojoba, cherry, blackberry, prickly pear, chia, and pomegranate provide an exceptionally diverse blend of skin-conditioning lipids.
Comfort:
Bisabolol & rice lipids, help maintain skin softness and support the moisture barrier.
Defend:
Vitamin E and antioxidant-rich botanical extracts help protect against environmental oxidative stress.
The result is a retinoid serum designed not just around what you want your skin to look like—but how you want it to feel while you're getting there.
• Mature skin
• Dry skin
• Normal-to-dry skin
• Skin experiencing loss of firmness
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Rough or uneven texture
• Dullness
• Visible pores
• Early and advanced visible signs of aging
• Those beginning a retinoid routine
• Those who have found traditional retinol difficult to tolerate
• Anyone who wants Vitamin A benefits within an exceptionally nourishing treatment
As skin changes with age, something frustrating can happen:
It may become drier and less tolerant at exactly the same time that lines, wrinkles, texture changes, pigmentation, and loss of firmness become more noticeable.
That means the very ingredients you want for visible age management may suddenly become harder for your skin to tolerate.
Ultra Gentle Retinol Serum was practically made for this stage of skin.
By pairing advanced Vitamin A technology with an abundance of replenishing botanical lipids and barrier-supportive ingredients, it provides a more nurturing way to incorporate a retinoid into dry, mature, or increasingly sensitive-feeling skin.
Use in the evening.
After cleansing and applying lightweight hydrating products, massage a small amount over the face, neck, and décolleté.
If you're new to retinoids or your skin is easily sensitized, begin 1–2 evenings per week.
Gradually increase to every other evening as your skin acclimates. Those who tolerate the serum well may eventually progress to nightly use.
Follow with moisturizer if additional richness is desired.
Do not apply to skin that is currently red, peeling, irritated, sunburned, or otherwise compromised.
Avoid combining with strong exfoliating acids, peels, or multiple potentially irritating treatments in the same routine until you know how your skin responds.
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential when you're serious about protecting your skin and the results of any age-management routine.
Ultra Gentle doesn't mean irritation is impossible.
Every person's skin is different, and even a well-formulated retinoid may cause dryness, sensitivity, redness, or flaking, particularly when first introduced or used too frequently.
More isn't better.
If your skin becomes persistently dry, uncomfortable, red, or flaky, reduce the frequency and allow your barrier to recover before using it again.
Your goal is to find the frequency at which your skin receives the benefits of consistent Vitamin A use without repeatedly overwhelming it.
Consistency beats intensity.
Ultra Gentle Retinol Serum brings together two things aging skin often needs simultaneously:
intelligent stimulation and abundant nourishment.
With 1% HPR advanced retinoid technology surrounded by squalane, avocado, camellia, passionfruit, prickly pear, chia, pomegranate, rice lipids, olive unsaponifiables, bisabolol, and antioxidant-rich botanical oils, it turns Vitamin A treatment into a luxurious nighttime ritual.
Use consistently to help reveal skin that looks smoother, firmer, more refined, radiant, and beautifully renewed, while giving dry and mature skin the nourishment it craves.
