About the product

 Curated for experienced vitamin A users, The Vitamin A Maintenance Set 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.

The Support Oil
100% plant-derived pure olive squalane – Mimics the skin’s natural oils, conditioning the skin, supporting barrier function and maximising water retention.

How it works

Retinoid 2 encourages the skin to renew itself and helps promote collagen and elastin production, whilst simultaneously conditioning to reveal a smooth, even complexion.

The Support Oil cocoons the skin in nourishing, calming botanicals and actives to help reinforce the skin barrier and retain moisture.

How to use

STEP 1
Retinoid 2
Use in the PM, after cleansing. Apply a few pumps of the serum across your face and lightly massage into the skin, avoiding the eye area. Allow to absorb and follow with your moisturiser, if preferred. Use sun protection during the day.

Use twice a week initially, building up to 3 times per week, depending on your skin’s need. If you are currently using an acid product (e.g. AHA or BHA toner), we would recommend you use this and the retinoid on alternate days.

STEP 2
The Support Oil
Use in the AM and/or PM before your moisturiser. Apply 1 pump of oil into palms and massage onto the face, neck and décolleté. Repeat if necessary.

FAQs

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.

Yes, Skin Rocks is, and will always remain, cruelty free. Skin Rocks does not test products or ingredients on animals, nor do we ask any third parties to do so on our behalf.
