Blue Elixir Retinol Serum is a lightweight renewing serum formulated with 0.1% pure retinol, making it an ideal introduction to retinol for those using this ingredient for the first time.
The formula has been dermatologically tested on sensitive skin and is designed to help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, hyperpigmentation and other visible signs of ageing. As with all retinol products, daily SPF50+ is essential during use, particularly the morning after nighttime application.
For best results, introduce the serum gradually by applying it one or two evenings per week, then increase usage as the skin builds tolerance.
The formula combines 87% aloe vera, 4% niacinamide and copper tripeptide to help soothe, hydrate and support the skin barrier while retinol promotes the skin’s natural renewal process. Together, these ingredients help reveal a smoother, brighter and more even-looking complexion.
Flaxseed, evening primrose and antioxidant-rich botanical extracts add further comfort and hydration, helping minimise the dryness or sensitivity that can sometimes occur when introducing retinol into a routine.
Its fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture leaves the skin feeling comfortable and refreshed. Spirulina extract gives the serum its natural blue hue while contributing antioxidant, hydrating and brightening benefits.
The formula is 100% vegan and free from added fragrance.
The easiest way to use it:
If you're going to start introducing retinol into your routine, make sure you start by only using it in your night-time routine first. Apply to clean, dry skin before your moisturiser — if your skin is sensitive, you can apply a thin layer of moisturiser before the retinol (Meisani's Niacinamide & Cucumber Aqua Gel Cream is perfect for this) or even put a couple of drops of this serum into your regular moisturiser when you have it in your hand so that your skin can gradually get used to it.
Yes, the skin goes through a process of adapting to retinol called retinisation. During this process you may feel a little dryness, tightness, and flaking... this is completely normal, which is why we advise you to start using it only at night, little by little, and with a moisturiser that reinforces your skin's barrier function.
Remember:
- Start by applying it one day a week. This will be enough if you have never used it and your skin is not used to it. - Always, always apply SPF50+ the next morning.
- Make sure not to combine exfoliation, acids or peels with retinol in the same routine or during the first few weeks of using it. If you're a beginner, your skin will thank you.
- When using retinol, it's always a good idea to reinforce your skin's barrier function. The Rice & Shine Hyaluronic Acid Essence Toner is an excellent combination!
After about a month of regular use at night only, and depending on the tolerance of your skin, you can begin to use it during the week every other day. When the time comes, you can also use it during the day (if you are not going to expose yourself to direct sunlight) but always, always with SPF50+ sunscreen, okay? :)
