What It Is
Retinol (Vitamin A) accelerates skin cell turnover, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and improves texture by stimulating collagen. It can be potent—start with low concentrations and apply at night with diligent sun protection.
Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) is a powerful antioxidant that supports cellular energy and skin resilience, protecting against oxidative stress.
Rosehip Oil, rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A and C, deeply hydrates, improves elasticity, and helps fade hyperpigmentation and scars.

How to Use
- Cleanse your face thoroughly.
- Shake serum if needed, then apply a few drops of Akua Retinol Face Serum on dry skin.
- Gently massage in upward motions until fully absorbed.
- Follow with moisturizer to lock in hydration.
- Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) in the morning to protect sensitized skin.
- Use at night only. Begin with 2–3 times per week and build tolerance gradually—consider the “1‑2‑3 rule” (once weekly, increasing over time).
Who Should Use It?
- Anyone seeking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, or signs of aging.
- Those dealing with uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, or dark spots.
- Users with dry, dull, or rough skin needing deeper nourishment.
- Acne-prone individuals—Retinol helps unclog pores and prevent breakouts.
Who Should Avoid or Use With Caution- Sensitive skin types—start with a patch test due to possible irritation.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women—retinol is not recommended during pregnancy.
- Those using strong exfoliating actives (AHAs/BHAs) should avoid simultaneous use to reduce irritation.
Possible Side Effects- Dryness, peeling, redness, and irritation—especially during the initial adjustment phase.
- Increased sun sensitivity—daily SPF is essential.
- Temporary “purging” (breakouts) as the skin adjusts.
Expert Tips
- Apply on dry skin only—wait at least 20–30 minutes after cleansing if skin is damp.
- Use a pea-sized amount; dots on forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin are sufficient.
- Consider the “sandwich method”: layer moisturizer before and after retinol to buffer potential irritation.
- Build tolerance gradually—start with 1–3 nights a week and increase frequency as tolerated.
- If irritation occurs, pause retinol use and focus on hydration until the skin recovers.
Final ThoughtsAkua Retinol Face Serum offers a powerful yet balanced anti-aging treatment. When used correctly—slowly, at night, with sun protection and barrier support—it can firm, brighten, and refine your complexion with minimal irritation.
