Why You'll Love It

Algenist’s research has derived a plant-based, retinoid-like ingredient from Fermented Green Microalgae that works effectively yet gently in combination with vegan retinol. Skin’s texture is improved by promoting accelerated skin cell turnover.

A blend of AHA, BHA, and PHAs also boosts the exfoliation of skin’s surface layers to reveal smoother, more even texture and tone. Proprietary Alguronic Acid® and humectants plump skin for a natural radiance.

Green Microalgae Retinol+ Serum delivers retinol results without the redness. By redness we are referring to redness that can be caused by some forms of retinol, and not to redness caused by eczema, rosacea, or other skin conditions
Key Benefits
  • Resurfaces with minimal to no irritation or redness
  • Diminishes appearance of deep lines and wrinkles
  • Visibly improves skin texture and tone
  • Promotes accelerated skin cell turnover
How to use

STEP 1
Start using once a week and gradually build up to everyday use (This product is shown to be non-irritating but retinol beginners may still want to ease in).

STEP 2
Apply a small, pea-sized amount to clean skin on the face and neck.

STEP 3
Follow with a moisturizer of your choice.

GREEN MICROALGAE

"Just started to use it once a week and working my way to daily use. I don’t see any irritation and skin feels nice after application. Have to remember to apply the sunscreen during the sunny days."

Three cheers for gentle retinol!

"I've been using this for several weeks now (slowly upping the frequency because of my freakishly sensitive skin), and I couldn't be happier. I love the fragrance; it's not irritating; it doesn't dry out my skin; my face looks brighter and younger. Highly recommend! p. s. I have rosacea, and it's still gentle enough!"

— Sarah C. (5/5)
