Bautenic Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Serum is your perfect introduction to retinol skincare. Specially formulated for beginners, this serum combines 0.5% Retinol with deeply hydrating Squalane to gently tackle early signs of aging, uneven skin tone, and dullness. Tailored for Pakistani skin and climate, it’s designed to provide visible results without irritation, making it ideal for those new to retinol or with sensitive skin.

How It Works

This gentle formula leverages the power of Retinol 0.5% to promote skin renewal, fade dark spots, and smoothen fine lines while Squalane provides lasting hydration and reinforces the skin’s barrier. Together, they minimize irritation commonly associated with retinol, making it perfect for beginners to build tolerance and achieve radiant, youthful skin.

How To Use

Introduce Gradually: Start with 2-3 drops in your PM routine, twice a week.
Increase Slowly: As your skin adjusts, gradually increase usage to every other night.
Layer for Hydration: Apply a moisturizer, like Beautenic Hyaluronic Acid Gel, after the serum.
Use Sunscreen Daily: Always apply SPF 50+ during the day to protect your skin.
Avoid Mixing Actives: Do not use with AHAs, BHAs, or Vitamin C in the same routine.
