This potent overnight balm is formulated to revitalize your skin while you sleep. Packed with naturally derived Vitamin A (retinol), Vitamin C, and nourishing ingredients like Avocado Butter, Shea Butter, Beeswax, and Olive Squalane, it deeply hydrates and supports collagen production. The balm promotes cellular turnover, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and boost skin’s radiance. By morning, your complexion will feel refreshed, smooth, and renewed. Ideal for nightly use, but remember to apply sunscreen the following morning due to the retinol content.
100% Pure Retinol Restorative Overnight Balm, your questions answered
Q1. What does a restorative overnight balm do differently to a night cream?
A balm is richer and more occlusive than a cream. It seals the skin surface and creates a barrier that reduces transepidermal water loss while active ingredients work overnight.
For mature, dry, or compromised skin, an overnight balm can produce noticeably softer, more comfortable skin by morning.
Q2. How does retinol work at night?
Retinol stimulates cell turnover and collagen production. It is used at night because it is photosensitive, it degrades in sunlight and can make the skin more UV-sensitive. Overnight application allows it to work without those constraints.
Q3. Is it safe near the eye area?
Apply to the face and neck following product instructions. Avoid direct eyelid application. Use your dedicated eye treatment for the periocular zone.
Q4. How often should I use it when starting?
Two to three times a week initially. Build to nightly use as the skin adapts. Starting nightly is the most common cause of retinol irritation.
Q5. Is it Leaping Bunny certified?
Yes. Natural actives, no synthetic fragrance, no parabens.
