Anti-aging guide
A routine for visible signs of aging
The usual starting point for the look of fine lines is a retinoid at night, vitamin C in the morning and SPF every day. Exfoliating acids smooth rough texture, and hydration helps lines look softer.
The Retinol Serum is 1% retinol, a higher strength: start two to three nights a week, build up slowly and expect some dryness in the first weeks. The Vitamin C Serum goes on in the morning. The Sleep Mask uses glycolic, lactic and lactobionic acid on the nights you skip retinol, and the Anti-Aging Skin Brightening Moisturiser finishes the routine with Kakadu plum and hyaluronic acid.
The Advanced Anti-Aging Ritual puts four formulas together with an 18% Ritual saving, and the Overnight Renewal Ritual is the evening version. Avoid retinol while pregnant or breastfeeding, and wear SPF every morning. Not sure where to begin? Take the skin quiz.
Common questions
What age should I start retinol?
There is no set age. Start when the look of fine lines or rough texture starts to bother you, and only on adult skin. At 1%, the Retinol Serum is a higher strength, so begin two to three nights a week and build up.
Can I use retinol and the Sleep Mask on the same night?
No. Alternate them: retinol one night, the Sleep Mask another, and a rest night if your skin feels dry or tight.
Can I use vitamin C and retinol together?
Yes, at different times of day. Use the Vitamin C Serum in the morning under SPF and the Retinol Serum at night.
Is retinol safe during pregnancy?
Avoid retinol while pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and check with your GP or pharmacist about any skincare at that time.
