Pure Retinol For Complexion Perfection
Pure retinol is the most studied vitamin A derivative for visibly smoothing fine lines, refining texture and fading sun damage — and a pure retinol cream paired with a buffering ingredient like bakuchiol gives you those results with far less of the irritation most people associate with retinol. If you have been curious about retinol for skin but worried about flaking, stinging or redness, this is the gentle, professional way in.
Why pure retinol is the expert’s favourite
Retinol is the all-rounder of skincare. It speaks to almost every concern at once — fine lines, uneven tone, dullness, congestion, enlarged pores and loss of firmness — which is why at the Skeyndor office we have long called it the “headache pill” of skincare. It works by encouraging cell turnover, helping skin shed dull, thickened surface layers for a fresher, more radiant complexion, while supporting the skin’s own collagen so it looks firmer and smoother over time.
The trouble with many vitamin A and retinoid products is that they can sting, trigger flare-ups or only be tolerated at night. The Skeyndor Power Retinol range is engineered differently: a photostable, encapsulated pure retinol delivered deep into the skin, formulated for morning and night use, designed to sidestep the redness and flakiness that put so many people off retinol in the first place.
The real actives inside Power Retinol
Skeyndor was the first company in the world to pair bakuchiol with retinol — and that combination is the heart of why this formula is so well tolerated. Here is what is actually doing the work:
- Pure Retinol (0.09%, stabilised) — a photostable form of retinol that boosts cellular turnover, improves skin architecture and visibly reduces the signs of ageing. Because it is stabilised and encapsulated, it stays effective without breaking down in light.
- Bakuchiol — a gentle, plant-based retinol companion that stabilises the pure retinol and buffers it to reduce irritation, while adding its own repair and anti-ageing benefits.
- Soy Extract — rich in isoflavones, it soothes the skin, calms inflammation and enhances tolerance of retinol, supporting a stronger, more comfortable skin barrier.
Together these renew, repair and kick-start the production of collagen and new skin cells — getting results without the usual side effects of retinol. The formula is suitable for sensitive, normal and mature skin.
Meet the Power Retinol range
Intensive Repairing Retinol Cream (50 ml) is a deeply hydrating moisturiser and targeted treatment in one. It visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage, helps fade the marks left by blemish-prone skin and pigmentation, and stimulates collagen for firmer skin — all while soy extract keeps it calm and comfortable.
Intensive Repairing Retinol Serum-In-Cream (15 ml) is the concentrated step for skin that wants the ultimate in rejuvenation. Many see a noticeable difference within 28 days in the look of scarring from blemish-prone skin, wrinkles, sun damage and discolouration.

How to use Power Retinol
- After your usual cleansing routine, apply a small quantity to the face and massage in gently.
- Avoid the eyes and mucous membranes.
- Use no more than twice a day. Thanks to the photostable formula, it can be worn morning and night.
- If any irritation occurs, stop using it and reintroduce slowly.
- During the day, always finish with daily sun protection — it is the single best partner to any retinol routine.
Frequently asked questions
Is pure retinol suitable for sensitive skin?
This formula is designed for sensitive, normal and mature skin. Bakuchiol buffers the pure retinol to reduce irritation, and soy extract soothes and supports the barrier — so it is far gentler than many retinoid products. As with any active, introduce it gradually and stop if irritation occurs.
Can I use retinol in the morning?
Yes. Skeyndor’s pure retinol is photostable, meaning it stays effective in light rather than breaking down. The Power Retinol products are engineered for both morning and night use. Always follow with daily sun protection during the day.
What does bakuchiol do alongside retinol?
Bakuchiol is a plant-based retinol companion. Here it stabilises the pure retinol and reduces irritation, while adding its own repair and anti-ageing benefits. Skeyndor was the first company in the world to use bakuchiol alongside retinol.
How long until I see results?
Skin renews on its own cycle, but many people notice a brighter, smoother, more even complexion within a few days, and the serum-in-cream is formulated to show a noticeable difference within 28 days.
