Use at night only, after cleansing, on dry skin. With 0.25% encapsulated retinol plus 5% niacinamide, this is an ideal entry-level retinol.

1. Cleanse and pat your skin completely dry; damp skin increases retinol sensitivity.
2. Dispense from the airless pump and apply a thin layer to the face, neck and any areas of concern.
3. Follow with a moisturiser such as Propaira Prebiotic Rich Cream if your skin feels dry.

If you are new to retinol, build up gradually: apply every second or third night for the first two weeks, then move to nightly as your skin tolerates it.

Tips:
- Patch test for 24 hours before first use.
- Wear a broad spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen every morning while using retinol, as it can increase sun sensitivity.
- Do not combine with exfoliating acids (such as the Propaira Acne Exfoliating Serum) on the same night; alternate nights instead.
- Mild dryness or flaking in the first few weeks is common and usually settles. Buffer by applying moisturiser first if needed.
- Avoid the eye area, lips and nostril edges.
- Retinol is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding; speak to your doctor.
- The airless pump may need several presses to prime on first use.
Key ingredients:
- Encapsulated Retinol 0.25%: pure retinol delivered gradually to help smooth the look of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven tone while staying gentle on the skin.
- Niacinamide 5%: supports the skin barrier and helps calm the look of redness while skin adjusts to retinol.
- Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil: antioxidants that help protect the skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: helps hydrate and plump the look of the skin.
- Tocopherol: vitamin E, an antioxidant.

Yes. At 0.25% encapsulated retinol with 5% niacinamide to support the skin barrier, it is designed as an entry point. Once your skin comfortably tolerates it nightly, you can consider stepping up to Propaira 1% Retinol Cream.
Retinol works gradually. Many people notice smoother texture and a fresher look within four to six weeks, with the look of fine lines, pigmentation and blemish-prone skin improving over two to three months of consistent use.
Keep it away from the immediate eye area. Use Propaira Total Eye Cream for the eye zone instead.
Skip exfoliating acids on the same night, avoid waxing treated areas, and always wear SPF 50+ during the day. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not use retinol; ask us about alternatives such as bakuchiol.

Fast improvement, clearer skin

Love this, works great for my skin. Small tube lasts well, a little goes a long way and my blemishes settled faster than expected.

Simple to incorporate nightly

Simple to add to my routine apply after cleansing and follow with SPF in the morning. Skin tone has improved and texture feels refined.

Lightweight night cream

Feels light and sinks in quickly, no greasy residue. My skin looks smoother in the morning and the mild scent is pleasant and not overpowering.

That’s the perfect way to introduce retinol Jacqueline - thanks for sharing!

Subtle scent, great texture

Cream is creamy without being heavy; absorbs well and doesn't pill under sunscreen. No irritation for my sensitive skin, which surprised me.

Visible fine line reduction

After six weeks I've noticed softer fine lines around my eyes and mouth. I only use a pea-sized amount each night and it's easy to layer under moisturiser.

Gentle but effective retinol

Didn't cause the usual flaking I've had with other retinols. Gentle, yet I can see fewer breakouts and a brighter complexion within weeks.
