This is a non-sensitizing, hypoallergenic clinical cream is powered by Peptilum®, a revolutionary ingredient clinically proven to deliver 10 age-defying benefits and works 2X faster and better than traditional retinol. Plus, this nourishing formula is packed with Carotenoid Rich Oils and Illipe Butter that help to revive the skin’s elasticity, while maintaining the appearance of plump and moisturized skin.

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.

Usage
Apply a pearl-sized amount to your face and neck as the final step in your skincare routine, morning and night.
Pro-tip
Our Phyto-Retinol Sleep Serum is microbiome friendly and non-irritating, meaning it can be paired, and used with Vitamin C, exfoliants and other skincare products that one typically needs to avoid when using traditional retinol. We recommend using Chebula Serum in the morning, and Phyto-Retinol Sleep Serum in the evening.
You can use this every day. While traditional retinol is known to disrupt the skin barrier - which is what leads to redness and dryness - Peptillium® is clinically proven to significantly improve skin barrier function, so you can use this every day without sensitizing side effects.
