The laSaponaria facial serum with phytoretinol offers a natural alternative to retinol with excellent anti-aging effects, but without unwanted irritation or photosensitivity. Ideal even for sensitive skin. It regenerates the skin, smooths wrinkles and expression lines, supports collagen production, accelerates cell renewal and gives the skin freshness and radiance. The serum has a very light, oil-free texture, is fragrance-free and is enriched with organic aloe vera and upcycled nettle. Certified Cosmos Organic.

laSaponaria Facial Serum – Phytoretinol BIO (30 ml) is a concentrated treatment designed for skin that needs a boost of radiance, renewal support and refinement of a dull or tired texture. Phytoretinol is a plant-based active ingredient sought after for effects commonly associated with a retinol routine in skincare, but in a gentler, more considerate approach. The serum is suitable if you are troubled by a dull skin tone, uneven appearance, fine lines or the feeling that your skin has "lost its glow". Thanks to its light consistency, it absorbs well, does not weigh the skin down and combines easily with a regular moisturiser. With regular use, your skin may appear more regenerated, smoother and visibly more radiant.

How to Use

Apply the serum to thoroughly cleansed skin, ideally in the evening when the skin has time to regenerate. Apply 2–4 drops to the face and neck, gently spread or pat in and allow to absorb briefly. Follow with a moisturiser to support the skin barrier and minimise any feeling of tightness, especially if your skin is drier or more sensitive. If you are new to active ingredients, introduce the serum 2–3 times a week first and increase frequency according to tolerance. In the morning, always finish your routine with SPF protection, as UV protection is key to maintaining radiance and an even tone. Start gradually and monitor your skin's reaction, because consistency is more important than speed.

Packaging

The 30 ml volume is practical for a daily routine and at the recommended dosage usually lasts for several weeks to months. The serum is concentrated, so even a small amount covers the entire face and neck, which helps keep consumption in check. To preserve quality, store the product in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources; close tightly after use. If you alternate between several active serums, it is advisable to follow a simple schedule (e.g. phytoretinol serum every other day) and dedicate the other days to hydration and soothing. Thanks to the standard 30 ml packaging, you can easily set up a long-term treatment without unnecessary interruptions.

Ingredients

Additional Info

To achieve a radiant skin appearance, it is worth combining the serum with quality hydration and daily sun protection, as UV radiation is one of the main factors that worsen an uneven tone and promote premature ageing. If you also use exfoliants (AHA/BHA), introduce them carefully and ideally on days when you are not using the phytoretinol serum, so the skin is not unnecessarily overloaded. In the event of temporary irritation, reduce frequency, introduce a soothing cream and focus on barrier restoration. The serum may also be suitable as part of a routine during seasonal changes, when skin often appears more tired and needs support in evening out and brightening. The best brightening effect is usually visible when, in addition to the serum, you do not forget SPF, sleep and regular hydration.
