About the product

Curated for experienced vitamin A users, The Resurface and Support Duo - Intermediate contains our intermediate strength Retinoid 2 and award-winning The Support Oil. 

Enriched with skin-conditioning squalane and vitamin E, Retinoid 2 contains retinal, a fast-acting, powerful retinoid, plus hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and breakouts.

Complementing retinoid usage, our rescue-in-a-bottle The Support Oil is formulated with a nourishing blend of botanical actives and oils to reinforce your skin barrier and calm your complexion, altogether leading to smooth, even, radiant skin free from dryness and irritation.

How to use

STEP 1
Retinoid 2
Use in the PM after cleansing, up to 3 times a week. Massage 2-3 pumps onto the face, avoiding the eye area. Allow to absorb before moving on to the next step in your routine.

Initially, we recommend using Retinoid 2 twice a week, gradually building up to 3-4 times per week. If you are currently using an exfoliating acid product, we would recommend you use this and the retinoid in alternate routines.

STEP 2
The Support Oil
Use daily in the AM and/or PM, or as needed. Massage 1-2 pumps onto the face, neck and décolleté as the last stage of your treatment step.

If you are nervous about retinoid usage, you can apply The Support Oil before Retinoid 2 to act as a buffer, slowing down penetration of the retinoid.

Hear what people are saying.

  • "As iconic as Thelma and Louise! Love this combo"

  • "Beautifully packaged, two amazing products.

    The oil is perfect for this time of year. I find the retinol gentle and moisturising despite having very sensitive, eczema prone skin."

  • "What a perfect combination. Never any sensitivity and they both feel wonderful to use."

  • "What a great set,

    including both retinoid 2 and the support oil. My skin looks great the next morning!"

  • "Game Changer!

    I had been using the mini’s of these for 3 weeks & I could see after that time, my skin was clearer & brighter. So I went all in & have zero regrets. The age spots on my temples & pigmentation on the bridge of my nose have faded significantly now, the hormonal red dry patches around my cheeks & nose have gone & my skin is looking so clear & even. I’m 51 & had come to accept the blotches & patches, but I’m pleased to say there IS hope with this range. Thank you Caroline, keep up the good work & bravo!"

FAQs

You’ve got questions,
We’ve got answers.

Does The Vitamin A Maintenance Set contain fragrance?

As with all products in our TREATMENT category, both products in this set are fragrance free.

Can I use The Vitamin A Maintenance Set daily?

The Support Oil can be used every day, morning and night. However, Retinoid 2 should only be used up to 3 times a week.


Can I use The Vitamin A Maintenance Set with other active ingredients/treatments?

We would recommend you avoid using other actives in the same routine as Retinoid 2. The Support Oil is perfect for use between active treatments or beforehand to act as a buffer. We recommend allowing sufficient time for the product to fully absorb before applying your next product.

You can use other actives on alternate days to your retinoid, but please be sure to incorporate days where your routine focuses solely on hydration.
