“Everything you need from a night oil, this powerhouse treatment helps to regenerate skin cells while you sleep, which, in turn, reduces pigmentation and dark spots, shrinks the appearance of pores, minimises fine lines and maximises firmness.”

MoisturizingVitis vinifera seed oil, Rosa rubiginosa seed oil + 2 moreWorks
“Apply this at night and you’ll wake up to clearer skin that’s more even, radiant and youthfully plump.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, rosa rubiginosa seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
