Drunk Elephant A-Gloei Maretinol Retinol Oil 30ml

The Drunk Elephant A-Gloei Maretinol Retinol Oil is a facial treatment serum designed to deliver the benefits of retinol while minimising potential irritation. It's formulated specifically for those new to retinol or with sensitive skin, offering a gentle introduction to this powerful skincare ingredient. The product aims to improve skin texture, even out tone, and provide antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. The formula centres around a 0.5% concentration of plant-derived retinol, which is 'wrapped' or suspended within a blend of nourishing carrier oils to enhance stability and reduce sensitivity. Key ingredients include antioxidant-rich virgin marula oil, which forms the lightweight base, along with ceramides and lipids. This combination works to buffer the skin from the active retinol while delivering intense hydration and supporting the skin's natural barrier, resulting in a soft, supple finish without excessive dryness or peeling. This retinol oil is best suited for individuals seeking to address concerns like uneven texture, dullness, or fine lines but who may have previously experienced irritation from stronger retinoids. It fits into an evening skincare routine, applied after cleansing and before moisturiser. The oil-based format makes it particularly beneficial for normal to dry skin types, providing nourishment alongside its resurfacing action. Regular use aims to leave skin looking smoother, refreshed, and more radiant.
