Why we stand behind it
This nightly retinol serum is made from potent, high quality vitamins C and E which work to brighten skin and help decrease the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Encapsulated retinol, a safe derivative of vitamin A, is combined with botanical retinols, bakuchiol and moth bean extract, to help improve the appearance of fine lines, promoting plump and radiant skin. Finally, nutrient-dense botanicals including chia seed and buriti oil work to hydrate and nourish skin, while promoting soothing benefits.
The Straight A contains a complex expressly targeted to increase sirtuin activity, which are proteins that regulate key biological pathways in our cells.

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.

Apply a thin layer of the Advanced Gentle Retinol Treatment after cleansing and misting. Use only at night. May be used every night. Follow with an application of moisturizer as needed, such as the Super Couple Face Oil, Supercritical Face Oil or The Super Blend Moisture Concentrate.
Please use sunscreen daily, as retinoid products do have exfoliating properties.
