Retinol capsules are a targeted treatment for visibly reducing the signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture and tone. This formula works by supporting skin's natural cell turnover process to smooth and renew skin. Each single-dose capsule is sealed to keep light and air out, ensuring you get a fresh, potent dose of retinol every time. With consistent use, skin looks firmer, smoother, and more radiant. Explore the full Retinol + HPR collection to find your complete regimen.

HPR (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate) is a next-generation retinoid that is 10x more potent than pure retinol and works without the irritation that traditional retinol can cause. Our Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules combine both: pure retinol is immediately absorbed for quick results, while HPR offers sustained release that continues working even after application. Together, they smooth lines and wrinkles, improve cell renewal, and strengthen the skin barrier, gently enough for daily use, day and night, even for first-time retinol users.

We recommend following the capsule serum with the Retinol + HPR Ceramide Rapid Skin-Renewing Water Cream for a complete retinol regimen. Apply the capsule serum first, then layer the Water Cream on top as your moisturizer. This light-as-air cream is formulated with the same retinol and HPR complex, plus ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and skin-firming peptides to lock in moisture and amplify results. Suitable for all skin types, including first-time retinol users. Don't forget your SPF! Shop the Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsule and Water Cream Duo to get both together.

Yes. Unlike many retinol formulas, this serum is specially formulated for day and night use. The combination of HPR and soothing botanicals like bisabolol and colloidal oat makes it gentle enough to wear around the clock without irritation, even for first-time retinol users. When using during the day, always follow with an SPF. Explore our SPF and Sun Care collection to find your perfect daytime pairing.

Not necessarily. Percentage and delivery work together for better results. Our Retinol + HPR is 10x more potent than pure retinol and is delivered in sealed capsules for a pure, potent, and precise dose every time, effectively targeting the signs of aging and visibly smoothing lines and wrinkles.

Actually, retinol thickens skin over time. Our Retinol + HPR encourages natural cell renewal and works to diminish dark spots, discoloration, and uneven texture and tone for a visibly younger-looking complexion.

You can add retinol to your skincare regimen as early as your mid to late 20s. To minimize irritation, avoid layering with products containing acids or exfoliants, and always apply SPF before going outside. Browse our full Retinol + HPR collection to find the right formula for where you are in your skincare journey.
