Why we stand behind it
This regenerative, biotech-driven way of thinking extends beyond the formula itself, shaped by Clark's Botanicals' long-term stewardship of land and sea on the Amalfi Coast, where they study how resilient environments renew themselves through balance, precision, and restraint, fully embodying Credo’s mission of high-performance skincare that respects skin biology.
Key ingredients
Time-Released Retinol: Helps visibly smooth wrinkles and support firmer-looking skin while releasing gradually to minimize irritation.
Vitamin C (time-released): Helps support brighter-looking, more resilient skin and complements retinol for visible radiance.
Colloidal Oatmeal: Helps soothe and comfort the skin while supporting a calm, balanced appearance.

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
Retinol Rescue Overnight Cream is designed to be used in the evening on clean, dry skin.
If using a serum, apply first and allow it to fully absorb.
Apply a pearl-sized amount evenly over the face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
Gently massage into skin using upward, smoothing motions until fully absorbed.
Use at night only.
If new to retinol, begin by using two to three nights per week and gradually increase frequency as skin builds tolerance.
Apply sunscreen the following morning.
Pro-tip
For an extra-cushioned, deeply restored feel, apply Retinol Rescue Overnight Cream as usual, then layer Deep Moisture Mask on top as the final step of your nighttime routine. This overnight pairing helps seal in hydration and leaves skin feeling bouncy, comforted, and exceptionally smooth the next morning, perfect when skin feels dry, stressed, or simply in need of more.
