What Does Retinol Serum Do for the Skin?

A retinol serum helps support surface renewal, improving the look of uneven tone and texture while promoting a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance over time.

Serums are often the most targeted step within a routine, as they typically deliver high concentrations of active ingredients. Our formula uses advanced stabilization technology to maximize retinol's effectiveness while maintaining a gentle approach.

Can I Use Vitamin C Skincare With Pevonia Micro-Retinol Essential Serum?

Vitamin C skincare can be used with our retinol face serum, but it’s generally recommended to use it at a different time of day. For example, vitamin C in the morning and retinol in the evening is a popular approach.

Can I Use Micro-Retinol Essential Serum Every Day?

This retinol serum is designed for evening use and can be applied daily once your skin has adjusted, helping maintain a smoother and more even-looking complexion. If you’re wondering how to start, read our guide on how to use retinol.

Is the Pevonia Micro-Retinol Essential Serum Safe to Use During Pregnancy?

How Do I Start Using the Pevonia Micro-Retinol Essential Serum if I'm New to Retinol?

Renewed my aging sensitive skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I was reluctant to try retinol on my sensitive skin. These products have worked nicely and my skin looks supple and dewy, fine lines softened, without any reactions. Definitely would recommend.

What a great product!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

My estetician introduced me to the micro-retinol serum 2 years ago and I've been using twice a day with special attention around the mouth and eyes. I'm 65 and have delicate Scandinavian skin and the serum really, really works at helping the crow's feet and lip wrinkles to a minimum. My estetician explained the science behind the product and all the R&D that has gone into developing it. The price is totally worth it.

Gentle retinol serum

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

After trying many many retinol serums from other companies, this is the serum that I am sticking with. It may have slower results than the harsher, stronger retinols out there, but there are results, and it is the perfect retinol for people with very sensitive skin like me but who still want that ingredient in their regimen.
