Retinol results without the retinol adjustment period. Built around 2% Bidens Pilosa, a plant-derived retinol alternative, for anyone who wants to work on the look of fine lines and dark spots but has given up on peeling, stinging and week-three regret.

What's in it, and why

  • 2% Bidens Pilosa extract — a plant-derived retinol alternative. Refines texture and softens the look of fine lines, without the irritation retinol is known for.
  • Aloe juice — hydrates and soothes as it works.
  • Jojoba oil — a light nourishing oil, close in structure to skin's own sebum.
  • Rose myrtle extract — antioxidant support.

How to use

A few drops on clean skin, morning and/or evening. Unlike true retinol there is no build-up period and no need to keep it night-only — though if your skin is reactive, start every other night.

Good to know

30 ml. Suitable for all skin types. Vegan. Formulated and filled in Europe. Use sun protection daily. Patch test before first use.

Why €29,90 is the smart number

Retinol results. Without the retinol weeks.

A department-store price pays for the counter, the shop's margin and the campaign you saw on the escalator. We sell direct, so that part of the price never existed. What's left is the formula — and it lasts about 2 months, used daily.

Questions, answered

What does shipping cost?

Nothing: standard shipping to Germany is free and already included in the price. Express is €11,39 per order (up to 500 g).

When will it arrive?

We dispatch within 2 working days. Germany, Austria and most of Western & Central Europe then take about 4–6 working days on Standard, or 1–2 on Express. Every parcel is tracked.

How long does one bottle last?

About 2 months, used daily — roughly €0,50 per day.

Is it right for my skin / hair?

Fine lines, dark spots and texture — for people who gave up on retinol irritation. If your skin is reactive, patch-test on the inner arm for 24 hours before the first full use.

When will I see a difference?

Give it 28 days of consistent use — that's about one skin-renewal cycle. Many people notice texture and how skin feels first. Results vary; these are cosmetics, not medicines.

What if it arrives damaged or it's the wrong item?

Email us a photo and your order number and we'll replace it or refund you in full, delivery included. Sealed, unopened items can be returned within 14 days for any reason.

Where is it made?

Formulated and filled in the European Union and shipped from within the EU — no customs, no import fees for EU addresses.

Pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical care?

Please check the full ingredient list on the pack with your doctor or midwife first.
