Retinol is the gold standard ingredient of a serious anti-aging skincare routine. Known for its exceptional youth and collagen-boosting benefits, Retinol is a very powerful clinical-grade active, however, it can often have very irritating side effects leading to redness, dryness, flakiness, and sensitivity… until now.

A pioneer of the Clean Beauty movement, and always at the forefront of the latest innovations in skincare science, LA-based luxury skincare brand Odacité has developed a high-performance Retinol Serum that maximizes results and minimizes risk of irritation.

So, what's Odacité's secret? Advanced Encapsulation Technology.

 

WHY SHOULD YOU USE RETINOL ANYWAY?

Among the myriad ingredients that promise anti-aging benefits and flawless skin, Retinol always seems to come out on top. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A known for its dual-action capability to 1) increase skin cell renewal [up to six times] minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and 2) shed dead skin to eliminate signs of imperfections with keratolytic action, improving the appearance of skin texture.

 

WHY IS RETINOL POTENTIALLY IRRITATING?

Retinol is known for powerful results, but its efficacy is easily compromised due to a high sensitivity to air, sunlight and acidic conditions, making it less stable and potent, and therefore irritating and less effective. Because of this, we’re seeing TikTok influencers take a cautionary approach to Retinol with 4-day skin cycling – exfoliating one day, applying Retinol the next day, and allowing the skin to rest for two days.
