Why it works

Retinol Renewal Matrix

Liposomal Retinol + Pro Collagen Support Actives

This advanced matrix features Liposomal retinol buffered with replenishing botanicals like Rosehip, Avocado, and Sunflower Seed Oil to visibly firm and refine — without triggering reactivity. Phospholipids and Sodium Hyaluronate help deliver actives deeper while Aloe, Chamomile, and Cucumber calm the surface, creating a regenerative overnight environment for sensitive, aging skin.

Claim Supported: Visibly firms, improves skin texture, and supports collagen renewal — without flaking, peeling, or discomfort.

Clinical Insight

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this irritate my skin like other retinols?

No. This formula uses a liposomal delivery system to release retinol gradually — reducing the chance of redness, dryness, or flaking. It’s buffered with botanicals and hydrators designed for sensitive, aging skin.

Can I use this after microneedling or peels?

Wait 3–5 days post-treatment or until the skin barrier is visibly intact. Once healed, CalmLift Retinol Crème is ideal for rebuilding strength and promoting smoother texture with care.

Is this safe during pregnancy?

No. Like all retinol products, this formula is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We suggest using the CalmLift Barrier Concentrate and Vitamin Concentrate instead during this time.

Can I use it with other actives?

Yes, with balance. It layers well with CalmLift Barrier and Vitamin Concentrates. Avoid pairing with exfoliating acids or other strong actives on the same night to keep the barrier calm and supported.

How long will it last?

A 50mL bottle typically provides 60–70 applications when used nightly (1–2 pumps). That’s approximately 2–3 months of consistent, visible improvement.
