Maya Chia The Straight A
The Straight A Advanced Gentle Retinol Serum
This Product Is: a nightly retinol facial treatment serum
Good For: all skin types, especially mature skin and blemish-prone skin
Why We Love It: Maya Chia The Straight A Advanced Gentle Retinol Treatment 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.
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.

What's Behind "Fragrance"?
US law does not require that companies be transparent about the ingredients in fragrance/parfum. Credo believes in your right-to-know. We require all brands to categorize the fragrance in each product (see chart above), and encourage brands to fully disclose all scent ingredients.
All products are cruelty-free and formulated without ingredients on The Dirty List™️. At Credo, "clean" goes even deeper. Learn more.
