## How it works

Retinol is named on the ingredient panel on this serum. Retinol is the alcohol form of vitamin A and the strongest retinoid available without a prescription. Skin converts it in two steps to retinoic acid, and it is used at night, at low percentages, for the look of fine lines and rough texture. It can leave skin flaking while it acclimatises. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Hydrolyzed Extensin and Sodium Dilauramidoglutamide Lysine. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

## How to use

1. Start on two nights a week and build up slowly over a month rather than starting nightly.
2. Apply after toner on dry skin, pressing three or four drops across the face.
3. Follow with a moisturiser, which makes a retinol routine considerably more comfortable.
4. Do not use it on the same night as an exfoliating acid, since stacking is what turns a routine sore.

## FAQ

### What does Squalane do in this serum?

Squalane sits among the first ingredients on the list. It is a lightweight, non-greasy emollient, and this early a placement means it is doing real work cushioning the formula, not trailing off the list.

### Is Niacinamide also in this formula?

Niacinamide sits within the first ten ingredients, the tone-evening, barrier-supporting active Korean formulas lean on most often, and its early position here means it is not a token dose. It sits alongside Squalane on MEDIHEAL's ingredient list for this product.

### How is this serum used in a routine?

Apply a few drops to cleansed skin and pat in gently before moisturiser. It works as a treatment step layered under moisturiser.

### Who is this serum suited for?

Sensitive skin, Normal skin are the best fit for this serum. Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.
