Vitamin A Serum

Our Vitamin A Serum with 0.3% Vitamin A derivatives provides gentle slow-aging care that minimizes the risk of irritation. It helps the skin reduce impurities, acne marks, and pigmentation spots, resulting in smoother, more even, and clearer skin. In comparison, the 1% Retinol Booster offers a highly concentrated formula with encapsulated retinol and additional skin-soothing and hydrating ingredients. This powerful slow-aging care effectively minimizes wrinkles, improves skin texture, and helps reduce hyperpigmentation.

Three carefully selected forms of Vitamin A, along with Bakuchiol, ensure visible long-term improvements in skin texture, a reduction in wrinkles and pigmentation spots, and overall younger and fresher-looking skin.

Various studies show that after about 4 to 6 weeks, the first changes become noticeable: fine lines appear reduced, skin texture looks smoother, and the complexion appears more even. After 12 weeks, significant improvements can be seen: deeper wrinkles are softened, pigmentation spots fade, and the skin looks visibly firmer and more radiant.

Yes, as the 0.3% Vitamin A derivatives concentration is often well-tolerated by sensitive skin because it is gentler than highly concentrated retinol products. The particularly skin-friendly Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) reduces the risk of skin irritation without affecting the slow-aging effects. The combination of the three derivatives provides gentle cell renewal, and sensitive skin can better adjust to the new active ingredients. We recommend performing a patch test, starting with application once or twice a week, and using soothing products in your skincare routine.

Yes, thanks to the special encapsulation of retinol and the use of gentle Vitamin A derivatives, it is very well tolerated and even suitable for sensitive skin. Be sure to introduce it gently into your routine. Initially, apply the serum once or twice a week. Adequate hydration and barrier-strengthening products should support your skin during this adjustment phase. Additionally, sunscreen with at least SPF 30 should be used during the day.

Cleanse your face in the evening as usual, and apply the Vitamin A Serum to your skin. Afterward, we recommend using a moisturizer as a finishing step. Since your skin needs time to adjust to the new active ingredients, it’s important to introduce the product slowly into your routine. We recommend applying it once or twice a week at the start. Gradually, you can increase the usage until it becomes a regular part of your routine. If signs of skin irritation occur, you should pause usage for a few days and support your skin with soothing products.

Whether layering directly with the Vitamin A Serum or using it on the same day, you can use any products that meet your personal skincare needs, as long as they do not contain other retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHAs & BHAs), or Vitamin C. However, you do not have to avoid these ingredients entirely. They should be used at a different time in your weekly skincare routine with sufficient time in between. We recommend combining the Vitamin A Serum directly with your favorite moisturizer and daily sunscreen.

Both retinol and retinal offer impressive benefits for the skin and require careful application. Retinol in higher concentrations can lead to irritation, dryness, and redness, whereas retinal is naturally stronger than retinol and can therefore work as intensely as retinol at lower concentrations. Whether retinol or retinal is better for your skin specifically depends on many factors: concentration, skin sensitivity, frequency of use, combined active ingredients, skincare goals, and the overall skincare routine. Our customer service is always available to help you with your selection.

Thanks to innovative encapsulation, the retinol in the Vitamin A Serum has high stability and tolerance. The contained retinal is naturally even more stable and gentler than retinol. The additional active ingredient, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), is a very gentle retinoid that is particularly stable and well-tolerated. With our recommendation of 6 months of usage after opening, there is no loss of effectiveness—provided the product is stored in a cool, dark place.

Yes. The use of our Night Cream (0.05% retinol) in combination with the retinol and retinal in the Vitamin A Serum remains within the safe limits for the recommended daily Vitamin A intake.

For safety reasons, people who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid retinol products. In addition, retinol should only be used in the evening routine. During the day, sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is essential.

First, reduce the frequency and concentration of retinol application. Additionally, using intensive care products before and after applying retinol can help soothe your skin’s reaction. Our customer service team is always available to help you find the optimal retinol routine.

When developing our products we comply with the applicable legal requirements for cosmetic products. These include, for example, rules on which substances may not be used in cosmetics at all, or only under certain conditions. Beyond that, we make deliberate choices when selecting our ingredients: for instance, we use exclusively vegan ingredients and, as a rule, choose fragrance-free formulations – except for our lip products, which contain vanillin. You can check which ingredients a specific product contains at any time in the full INCI list on the product page.

Yes. All ingredients are vegan – we do not use any animal-derived raw materials.

No. Our Vitamin A Serum contains retinol, retinal and Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate and should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Our Polypeptide Booster is a suitable alternative for your anti-aging care.

For all our products, we take into account whether certain ingredients are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. You'll find the relevant notes directly on each product. The use of retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) and salicylic acid (BHA) is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Note: During pregnancy, the many physiological changes in the body can alter how certain active ingredients work. Some cosmetic ingredients are distributed, broken down or excreted differently in the body, which can also change their effect. For this reason, it is recommended to adjust the dosage and to use active skincare under medical supervision during pregnancy and after giving birth.

To avoid irritation and keep your skin comfortable, we recommend spacing out the use of vitamin C, AHA, BHA and niacinamide – morning and evening, or on different days. The Vitamin A Serum contains highly active ingredients that specifically stimulate skin renewal and can cause irritation if overdosed or combined incorrectly. A well-planned routine supports tolerability and contributes to visible results with regular use.
