Inside the Purist Retinol 0.5% Serum


One active, Retinol, carried in three skin-conditioning oils, with Vitamin E for antioxidant cover and a light silicone base for slip.

Benefits of Using Retinol Serum

Fixes Rough Texture, Dullness & Early Signs of Aging


Three things tend to show up first as skin starts to age: rough texture, a dull-looking tone, and early signs of aging. Retinol works on all three gradually, and the oils in this formula keep the process comfortable.

Supports Smoother Texture

Retinol works overnight to support visible refinement, helping skin appear smoother and more even with consistent, gradual use.

Refreshes Dull-Looking Skin

Almond, Jojoba, and Grape Seed Oil soften the feel of skin and keep it comfortable, so the formula layers easily without feeling greasy.

Softens Early Signs of Aging

Used steadily, starting slowly and building up, Retinol and Vitamin E support a more refined look over time. The conditioning oils keep skin feeling soft rather than dried out along the way.

Client Case Study

Six Weeks of Patient Nights: What Changed


Retinol and Vitamin E used at night, starting 2-3 times a week, tracked over six weeks for comfort, texture refinement and overall smoothness, with nourishing oils easing the way. (Given numbers are based on internal surveys and costumers feedbacks)

82%

Softer, More Balanced-Feeling Skin

Almond, Jojoba and Grape Seed Oil keep skin comfortable throughout the retinol routine, so it never feels tight or over-dried.

4–6

Weeks to Noticeable Texture Refinement

Retinol works gradually with consistent nighttime use — starting at 2–3 times a week before building up as skin adjusts.

76%

Smoother, More Refined-Looking Skin

How to Apply Retinol Serum on Your Face

Your Slow-Build Night Routine


Retinol rewards patience. Use it at night only, on completely dry skin, and begin with two or three nights a week, adding nights as your skin settles in. Moisturiser goes on after, and sunscreen the next morning is part of the routine, not an extra.

1

Cleanse & Dry

Cleanse in the evening and let skin dry completely before applying.

2

Apply

Put 2-3 drops on clean fingertips.

3

Massage In

Gently massage over the face and neck until absorbed.

4

Moisturise

Follow with moisturiser. Start at 2-3 nights a week, build up gradually, and wear sunscreen every morning.

How to apply Purist Retinol 0.5% Serum

New to Retinol? Start with 2-3 nights a week and build up as your skin adjusts. Keep it away from exfoliating acids (Glycolic, Salicylic) on the same night. Alternate evenings instead.
