    Key Ingredients

    Retinyl Palmitate

    Retinyl palmitate is a vitamin A derivative. As part of the retinoid family, retinyl palmitate helps speed cell turnover and improve collagen production promoting radiant and smooth skin. While also targeting pigmentation and dark spots for an even skin tone. As one of the most gentle forms of vitamin A retinyl palmitate is suitable for most skin types.

    Squalane

    Squalane is that it’s a hydrogenated version of squalene, a compound produced naturally by our sebaceous glands. Squalane moisturizes the skin and helps keep the skin’s outer barrier intact by creating a protective coating. This promotes luminosity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Squalane also has natural antioxidant properties which further help to protect the skin and prevent free radical damage.

    Retiniod with Squalene

    Loved this serum. Still use it, but I miss the results of the old one with squalene in it. The addition of squalene definitely boosted the brightness.

    WOW at first use!

    A colleague gave me a bottle of this, I tried it, and went out the next day and bought a load more Skin Republic products, spent the evening on their Youtube channel and instagram.. obsessed is an understatement. The reason? I saw an immediate improvement to my skin. Immediate. I was REALLY overwhelmed. I cannot wait to see the results after a month... Skin Republic Serums are the way to go and this is NUMBER ONE for good reason.

    Best serum ever

    I simply enjoy using the Retinoid serum. My skin is smooth, bright and blemish free. I had terrible breakouts on my jawline from wearing a mask when covid started. I have been using the Rentinoil for close to 2 years now. The results are amazing in just 3 weeks. I use it along with my Skin Republic Vitamin C. I don't have breakouts any longer. Definitely not changing to anything else.
