It’s strong enough to treat all types of blemishes and breakouts, yet gentle enough for those with sensitive skin, eczema, or psoriasis. Team with the Acne Mist to help keep skin clear and under control.

A potent mix of vitamins and essential oils

Retinyl Palmitate is a hardworking vitamin A derivative that increases cell turnover to help keep pores clear, enhance skin’s radiance, and improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles. With regular application, it can also help to fade hyperpigmentation and other post-acne marks. 

Our Clarifying Complex is formulated with potent Tamanu Oil, a natural anti-inflammatory and antibiotic that can promote the formation of healthy new skin tissue. Oil of Oregano packs another powerful punch, specially selected for its ability to kill bacteria and viruses.

Essential oils combine to reduce inflammation, while vitamin-rich Rose Hips Oil firms, brightens, and helps to protect skin against free radical damage.

Main Benefits: Promotes skin cell turnover, improves skin tone, helps unclog pores, helps thicken the dermis to slow down the formation of wrinkles.  Great for Anti-Aging, Acne and Pigmentation.

Who Can Use It: Because retinyl palmitate is the least irritating of all four retinoids, it’s a great option for almost all skin types and anyone who wants to keep their pores clear and skin looking younger. Sensitive skin may want to start with Soothe first and or use Advanced Dermal Complex.

How Often to Use: While it’s important to ease into things to let your skin gradually acclimate to any ingredient, it is best used every other day.

Retinoids have a synergistic effect with antioxidants such as vitamins C and E.  Pairing any retinoid with sunscreen is also important since it may make your skin more susceptible to the sun.  We recommend using them at night and using a zinc and titanium product like Protect during the day. 

DON’T USE WITH: Since retinyl palmitate has exfoliating properties, avoid combining it with other chemical exfoliants, such as glycolic or salicylic acid, as well as harsh scrubs with abrasive ingredients. This holds especially true if you fall into the sensitive skin group.

Pregnant and Nursing: Women who are in this category should consult their doctor before using any Retinol product.

Limit this product and all Vitamin A’s from any company to 3 times a week.
