Retinol 2.5% + Vitamin E & Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum, 20ml

Navigating the skincare aisle with problematic skin is relentless and rarely yields results. Earlier, I just had to worry about acne; now, it's a medley of dark spots, dullness, and uneven texture. The myriad of products seemed endless until one retinol serum entered the script.

What Is It?

The St. Botanica Retinol 2.5% + Vitamin E & Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum is a potent formula designed to combat early signs of ageing and skin concerns like acne scars and dullness. The serum works at not only reducing the appearance of fine lines but also reigning in oily skin and the occasional breakout. Its exfoliating properties gently rejuvenate, revealing smoother, radiant skin while providing a shield against environmental stressors.

Why We Love It

The serum is lightweight and does not cause dryness or irritation since it does come with the addition of hyaluronic acid. The best part about this is that it’s beginner-friendly, so if you’ve never tried a retinol product before, this is a good one to start with. Additionally, owing to the presence of Vitamin E, this face serum also stimulates collagen production for a healthier-looking complexion. I usually put this on at night and leave it on till the morning for best results.

How To Use It

Since retinol can make your skin dry and shouldn’t be worn out in the sun, avoid using this serum in the daytime. Add it to your nighttime routine instead. First, cleanse your face with a hydrating face wash then go in with a toner. Pump out some of the serum and spread it on your face and neck. Make sure to apply the serum around your eye areas as well if you want to get rid of dark circles. Follow up with a moisturiser or a sleeping mask for extra hydration.
