Ekseption Retin-Oil Booster 30 ml | Retinol 0,3%

Ekseption Retin-Oil Booster 30 ml

Ekseption Retin-Oil Booster is a concentrated anti-ageing night serum with 0.3% pure, stabilised retinol and 1% vitamin E. Its formula supports natural cell renewal and helps gradually reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, blemishes and uneven texture.

Retinol is a potent form of vitamin A. With consistent and careful use, it can help the skin look smoother, firmer, more even and radiant. Vitamin E provides antioxidant care and helps protect the complexion against environmental stressors.

The fluid oil-in-water emulsion has a soft texture and powdery finish. Although designed for a comfortable skin feel, retinol can cause dryness, redness or flaking while the skin adjusts. Always introduce it gradually.

DIRECTIONS AND INTRODUCTION SCHEDULE

Use only at night on clean, completely dry skin.

Weeks 1–2

Apply one evening per week.

Weeks 3–4

Increase to two non-consecutive evenings per week when the skin remains comfortable.

From week 5

Use two or three evenings per week. Increase further only if the skin shows no persistent redness, dryness or flaking.

Daily use is neither necessary nor suitable for every skin type.

HOW TO APPLY

1. Cleanse with a gentle facial cleanser.

2. Pat dry and wait until the skin is completely dry.

3. Apply a small amount to the face and, if desired, neck.

4. Avoid the eye contour, eyelids, lips, nose creases and broken skin.

5. Allow the serum to absorb.

6. Follow with a hydrating moisturiser.

7. Always apply SPF 50 the following morning.

Applying more product will not provide faster results. A small amount is sufficient for the entire face.

MORNING ROUTINE

1. Gentle cleanser.

2. Hydrating serum, such as a Mixlab Hyaluronic serum.

3. Suitable Ekseption moisturiser.

4. All-Day Shield SPF 50.

Vitamin C or niacinamide can be used in the morning when well tolerated.

EVENING ROUTINE WITH RETIN-OIL BOOSTER

1. Gentle cleanser.

2. Allow the skin to dry completely.

3. Retin-Oil Booster.

4. Hydrating or barrier-supporting moisturiser.

Sensitive skin can use the sandwich method: apply a thin layer of moisturiser, followed by Retin-Oil Booster and another small amount of moisturiser.

COMBINES WELL WITH

• A gentle facial cleanser.
• Hyaluronic acid for additional hydration.
• Niacinamide for barrier support.
• Hydrating Mixlab serums at an alternative time.
• Probiotic Ultra Serum when additional support is required.
• A gentle maintenance or repair cream.
• All-Day Shield SPF 50 for daily UV protection.

DO NOT USE IN THE SAME EVENING ROUTINE WITH

• Super Retinol Fluid.
• Other retinol or retinoid products.
• Retin-Oil Peel or professional peels without practitioner guidance.
• Resurfacing Activators during the introduction period.
• Super Salicylic Fluid.
• Salicylic Powder.
• Triple Acid Peeling Mask.
• Strong AHA, BHA or PHA products.
• Abrasive scrubs and intensive exfoliants.
• Benzoyl peroxide when the skin is easily irritated.

The manufacturer describes professional use following certain peels. This does not mean consumers should automatically combine a peel and Retin-Oil Booster during the same evening at home.

RETIN-OIL BOOSTER OR SUPER RETINOL FLUID?

Retin-Oil Booster contains 0.3% pure retinol and is intended for a gradually introduced routine addressing wrinkles, pigmentation, blemishes and visible pores.

Super Retinol Fluid is a different intensive Ekseption retinol formula. Do not use these products together or layer one over the other. Choose one retinol product suited to the skin’s condition.

RETIN-OIL BOOSTER AND RESURFACING ACTIVATORS

Avoid using a resurfacing activator on the same evening during the first weeks. A suitable alternating schedule could be:

• Monday: Retin-Oil Booster.
• Wednesday: hydrating recovery evening.
• Friday: activator if well tolerated.
• Other evenings: hydrating and barrier-supporting care.

Pause retinol and exfoliating products if redness, stinging or peeling develops.

USE AFTER COSMETIC PROCEDURES

Do not use Retin-Oil Booster immediately after microneedling, nanoneedling, laser, IPL, dermabrasion or a chemical peel. Wait until the skin is fully closed, calm and recovered and follow the practitioner’s advice.

Stop retinol before a professional treatment when advised. The serum is not sterile and must not be infused with a nanopen or dermaroller or injected.

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING

Do not use retinoids during pregnancy. Seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist before using retinol while breastfeeding.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

• Use only at night.
• Apply SPF 50 every morning.
• Avoid the eye contour and lips.
• Do not use on sunburned, broken or irritated skin.
• Introduce gradually.
• Reduce frequency if dryness or mild flaking develops.
• Discontinue following severe redness, swelling, itching, pain or persistent burning.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Close the packaging immediately after use.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Temporary dryness, mild flaking or sensitivity may occur during the first weeks. This does not mean that more product should be applied.

With consistent and careful use, the skin may gradually appear smoother, more even and radiant. Wrinkles, pigmentation, blemishes and visible pores may become less noticeable over time. Results require consistent use and daily sun protection.
