Discover the e.l.f. Cosmetics youth boosting advanced night retinoid serum that not only utilises specific ingredients to renew the complexion, but is also fragrance free. Suitable for oily, dry, normal, and combination skin types the golden amber colour of the retinoid serum can be somewhat surprising when applying onto your clean skin. Do NOT worry the colour wont make you look like you have had a fight with a bronzer and lost, it soon disappears when using massaging movements to aid in absorption.

Utilising 0.06% retinal which requires one conversion to retinoic acid (unlike retinol that requires two) this retinoid is well-known ingredient to help decrease wrinkles and overall help improve the complexion for smoother, firmer and more elastic skin. The other cell-communicating ingredient is the 1% Granactive Retinoid (Hydroxy pinacolone Retinoate (HPR) included that does not need to be converted by the skin but instead is able to bind to the retinoid receptors of the skin cells directly. 

The formula also features the peptides Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 known as the Matrixyl 3000 duo whilst also including antioxidants which are the ideal anti-aging ingredients for any serum to include. The other beneficial ingredients incorporated are the humectants to boost hydration, emollients to improve moisture and even including the soothing Bisabolol in the formula to help reduce inflammation. A vegan-friendly night serum that features multitasking ingredients that all work in synergy with each other to revive and renew the complexion overnight.

The pump applicator dispenses the perfect pea-sized amount to apply to clean skin after cleansing whilst the light-weight fluid texture easily helps for you to achieve an even coverage when applying to the face and neck. I like to leave any retinoid formula on the skin for around 15 to 20 mins to ensure maximum absorbency and benefits, before applying a moisturiser over the top if you wish. It is noted if you are new to using retinoids to space-out applications (wait 2 days after the 1st application before applying again) to build-up tolerance and before you know it you will be applying it every night!
