A+ is a game-changer for ageing, dry, sensitive, and blemish-prone skin alike.

Fine lines, uneven tone, and thinning skin often stem from slowed cell turnover and the natural decline of collagen and elasticity with age.

That’s precisely why I developed this high-performance Vitamin A complex. A+ contains 0.25% encapsulated retinal, along with firming peptides and barrier-strengthening ceramides—a powerful trio that promotes clearer, smoother, and more resilient skin.

Understanding Retinal
Also known as retinaldehyde, this advanced form of Vitamin A sits between retinol and prescription-strength retinoic acid. Because it requires only one conversion step, it works faster and more effectively than retinol to stimulate collagen—yet remains remarkably gentle on the skin.

To ensure even sensitive skin can benefit, A+ is buffered with ceramides and panthenol—nourishing ingredients that reinforce the barrier and restore essential hydration.

For those prone to congestion or breakouts, retinal helps regulate oil production, reduce inflammation, and minimise the bacterial buildup that contributes to acne.

I couldn’t be more proud of the results we’re seeing on our clients’ skin. A+ delivers clinical results with exceptional care—a true game-changer for ageing, sensitive, dry, and blemish-prone skin alike.

• Targets sun damage and visibly evens out skin tone
• Reverses signs of ageing by supporting healthy cell turnover
• Minimises irritation by restoring essential ceramide levels
• Balances oil production to reduce blemishes and minimise pores
• Stimulates collagen (types I, III, and IV) by activating fibroblasts for firmer skin

Daily ritual: Apply 3–5 drops to your face, neck, and décolleté in the evening before moisturising.

New to retinoids? Start with two nights on, two nights off. Gradually increase to nightly as tolerated. 

Experienced users: Use nightly, followed by Reset for best results.

To reduce sensitivity: Use the “retinoid sandwich”—a calming serum like Xcell skin shot before and after your retinoid.

Pro tip: For best results, apply this serum at night and your vitamin C serum in the morning.

Note: Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please consult your GP.
