Why we stand behind it

Retinal is 11x more effective than retinol - and this serum makes it accessible for even sensitive skin. But what makes the CEL™ Retinal Serum genuinely different is the patent-pending CEL™ Complex: a bioactive blend developed by Skin Diligent's longevity scientists that targets 10 visible mechanisms of skin aging. With an ultra-light satin texture that absorbs instantly and leaves no residue, this is the night serum for skin that wants to age on its own terms.

The CEL™ Retinal Serum combines 0.15% encapsulated slow-release retinal with the patent-pending CEL™ Complex, a bioactive blend of botanical extracts, peptides, and exosomes developed by Skin Diligent's longevity scientists. The encapsulation in natural botanical resin delivers retinal gradually for maximum efficacy and optimal tolerance - making this one of the rare retinal formulas suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin. In an independent clinical study on 20 women aged 35 to 60, all with sensitive skin, 95% showed visibly smoother, firmer, and more even skin at 28 days - rising to 100% at 56 days.

Formulated in France. Final formula tested to be free of estrogenic and androgenic endocrine disruption. Dermatologist tested.

What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.
