Why we stand behind it

Traditional retinol creams are notorious for wreaking havoc on the skin due to sensitizing side effects like irritation, redness and dryness. Phyto-Retinol Advanced Clinical Cream is the brand's newest Phyto-Retinol innovation that delivers advanced anti-aging results, now in a luxurious, hydrating and nourishing soft cream. This nonsensitizing, 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. When it comes to clinical anti-aging results, your skin shouldn't have to pay the price. Plus, this nourishing formula is packed with carotenoid-rich oils and illipe butter that is known to help revive the skin's elasticity while maintaining the appearance of plump and moisturized skin and is 100% non-toxic.

-Free of sulfates, phthalates, parabens, petrochemicals, mineral oil, silicone and talc; also free of gluten and synthetic fragrances.

-MADE SAFE® Certified with nontoxic ingredients not known or suspected to harm human health or environmental ecosystems.

-MADE SAFE® Certified pregnany safe.

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.

Reviews

I use it every night!

"I almost died when you discontinued your Vitamin A pellets, but this cream is even better. I make a mix of it and the Phyto-Retinol Sleep Serum and the Repair Nightly Treatment and use it every night. When I wake up, my skin is smooth and refreshed. Since your products are organic, I use them with confidence, but the proof is in my skin."

— Barbara H. (5/5)

Phyto-Retinol Advanced Clinical Cream

"My skin has become very sensitive and unpredictable since turning 50. I haven’t used the Photo-Retinol cream for quite a month yet, but I’ve noticed my skin has reacted very well to it. I use it during my nightly routine. Fine lines are a part of getting older. So my goal is to support my skin with non toxic products that nourish it and help protect it. I feel True Botanicals does exactly that. It’s an investment, and a little goes a long way. I definitely feel it’s worth the cost."

— Angela P. (5/5)

Love this!

"The Phyto-Retinol Advanced Clinical Cream is so creamy and smooth. It makes my skin feel saturated but not overly. At first, I did have a mild burning sensation but now I’m either used to it or my skin adapted to it and I don’t feel any tingling. I also love how versatile it is—I can use it day or night. It’s nice to just have one cream for traveling. Buy it, you won’t regret it!"

— Kay M. (5/5)

Love it

"I’ve tried other products but keep coming back to this because my skin absolutely loves it. It’s brighter, smoother, and helps with clearing up dark marks and evening my tone"

— Marissa A. (5/5)

Works extremely well on sensitive skin.

"I have sensitive very fair skin with rosacea. I noticed improvement with Renovo. This made a huge difference. Stubborn med dark sun spots are reduced or gone. No irritation and I love the feeling and texture of this."

— JoEllen R. (5/5)

Great cream!

"The cream is just the right amount of moisture without being too heavy. It’s definitely a cream vs a lotion. I use it after applying the radiance oil and the combo is great. I noticed my skin looks brighter and healthier after about a month of consistent use."

— Meghan R. (5/5)

Absolutely obsessed with this!

"The phyto retinol cream was recommended to me by a few different people and I'm loving it after a few weeks of use. it feels thick but doesn't go on TOO thick but just the right amount where I'm definitely being moisturized. It has a nice, light smell that makes me feel like I'm in a spa and it's a light yellow color."

— Maral C. (5/5)

No Chemicals for me!

"I love the fact that Phyto-Retinol Advanced Clinical Cream is made with all natural ingredients. Much gentler on my skin and a great finale to my evening routine which includes the Phyto-Retinol Serum, as well."

— Donna C. (5/5)

Keeping my skin looking great!

"I am enjoying this product it can feel a touch sticky right after it applied. I am a fan of the brand and have used many of their products so I wanted to try this one."

— Shelly (5/5)

Amazing moisturizer!!

"Noticed a difference first time I used this special sauce on my face. I absolutely LOVE how well it moisturizes while being light. Brightens my skin and overall looks and feels better."

— Tanya P. (5/5)

Q&A

Hello, I noticed tocopheral is listed as one of the ingredients in this product. Is this cream feee of soy?
Hi Josie! Thank you for your interest. Our Phyto-Retinol Advanced Clinical Cream is absolutely soy-free.
Why are pro-vitamin a carotenoids safe for topical use in daytime when retinol isn’t? Would love to know!
Pro-vitamin A carotenoids, like beta-carotene, are safe for daytime use because they act as antioxidants, helping protect the skin from UV damage rather than making it more sensitive. They also convert slowly into retinoic acid, making them gentler and less irritating. On the other hand, retinol increases photosensitivity, breaks down in sunlight, and can lead to skin damage if used during the day. That’s why it’s recommended for nighttime use only.
Should you use this moisturizer on top of the phyto-retinol sleep serum?
Yes! After applying the Phyto-Retinol Sleep Serum, layer a thin amount of the Phyto-Retinol Advanced Clinical Cream on top to lock in moisture and support smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Is this product pregnancy safe
Yes! Our Phyto-Retinol Advanced Clinical Cream is MADE SAFE® Certified, which ensures it is free from over 6,500 known toxins and has undergone further rigorous testing to ensure it does not contain any ingredients known to or suspected of harming pregnant individuals. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we always recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new skincare products into your routine. Everyone's skin and situation is different, so we cannot take into account your unique needs that may contribute to differentiated standards during your pregnancy or postpartum period.
