Elevation Beauty's Retinol Serum: Korean-Formulated Anti-Aging

Elevation Beauty's Retinol Serum is formulated in Korea, combining Retinol with soothing, hydrating support ingredients to deliver anti-aging benefits while staying gentle enough for regular use.

What it does

• Softens fine lines and wrinkles: Retinol accelerates skin cell turnover and supports collagen production.
• Improves elasticity: supports firmer, more resilient-feeling skin over time.
• Fades hyperpigmentation: increased cell turnover helps fade dark spots and prevents new ones from forming.
• Brightens overall tone: exfoliating effect reveals fresher-looking skin.

Key ingredients

• Retinol: the core active, well-studied for anti-aging benefits.
• Olive Squalene: a natural emollient that softens and helps maintain the skin's moisture balance, offsetting retinol's potential for dryness.
• Vitamin E: an antioxidant that helps protect skin from free radical damage.

How to use it

Apply at night after cleansing, using a pea-sized amount and avoiding the eye area. Start with 2 to 3 nights per week and increase frequency gradually as your skin builds tolerance. Always follow with sunscreen the next morning, since retinol increases sun sensitivity.

Why the Korean formulation approach

Korean skincare formulation often pairs strong actives like Retinol with gentler supporting ingredients in the same product, aiming to reduce the irritation that can come from using potent actives alone. Elevation Beauty's Retinol Serum follows this same principle.
