Retinol

Retinol - From basics to focused care

Shopping retinol: the essentials

Within Retinol, you’ll find retinol skincare options selected for clarity: what they do, who they suit, and how they fit into a routine.

The selection covers core needs and specific preferences, from retinol serum to night cream.

Each product page is worth a quick scan: look for concentration, finish, and how it behaves when layered with the rest of your routine.

Practical note: Dermatology guidance commonly recommends reapplying sunscreen about every two hours when outdoors, and after swimming or sweating.

A quick selection guide

retinol serum: prioritise this when you want a predictable step that you can repeat without adjusting the rest of your routine.
retinol serum: best when you prefer a clear outcome and you want to keep your routine lean.
gentle exfoliation: best when you prefer a clear outcome and you want to keep your routine lean.
anti-aging skincare: use this when you want targeted performance, but still need a texture that layers cleanly.
night cream: prioritise this when you want a predictable step that you can repeat without adjusting the rest of your routine.
sunscreen SPF: best when you prefer a clear outcome and you want to keep your routine lean.

How to build a routine around it

Keep your baseline routine stable and add new steps gradually. That makes it easier to understand what improves comfort and what causes unnecessary dryness or overload.

Texture compatibility matters. Lightweight layers tend to sit better under makeup or SPF, while richer textures can be reserved for evenings or dry climates.

Small signals that make a big difference

When you are unsure, start with a smaller size or a set. It reduces waste and helps you confirm that the texture and profile suit you.

Packaging and dosing: pumps and droppers support precision; larger formats can be better value when you know you will repurchase.
Sensitivity cues: fragrance-free options, minimal essential oils, and simpler ingredient lists are easier to tolerate for reactive skin.
Texture and finish: gel, cream, oil, powder, mist—this often determines whether the product integrates well with the rest of your routine.
Frequency: daily use, a few times per week, or occasional. Choose the cadence you can realistically maintain.
Compatibility: check whether the product is designed to sit under makeup/SPF or to be used as the final step.

Practical routine planning

A simple structure works for most people: cleanse, add one targeted step, moisturise, and use SPF in the morning. If you want more, add it only when it solves a clear problem.

If you are troubleshooting, change one variable at a time. A new cleanser, a new active, and a new moisturiser in the same week makes it difficult to isolate what is working.

For fragrance wardrobes, rotate by context: lighter profiles for workdays, warmer bases for evenings, and one dependable signature that you can reach for without thinking.

For hair routines, focus on scalp comfort and fibre condition separately. Scalp steps belong at the roots; masks and oils belong on lengths and ends.

Quick answers

When is a set the better choice?Sets are useful when you want a coherent routine or when you are trying a new brand or profile. They also reduce risk for gifts.

What should I prioritise first?Start with one core step that matches your main goal, then add retinol serum or anti-aging skincare if you need a more targeted result.

How do I choose between similar options?Compare texture, frequency of use, and how the product layers with what you already use. When in doubt, choose the simpler format and build from there.

How do I avoid overdoing it?Keep your routine stable and introduce changes gradually. If you add multiple new steps at once, it becomes difficult to understand what is helping and what is causing dryness or irritation.
