Description

ISNTREE Hyper Retinol EX 1.0 Serum helps your skin look smoother and fresher with gentle yet effective ingredients. This lightweight formula combines 1% retinol complex with soothing botanicals to help minimize the look of fine lines while keeping your skin comfortable. Perfect for all skin types, it supports your skin's natural renewal process without the usual dryness or redness. The serum's blend of ceramides and peptides helps strengthen your skin's moisture barrier while you sleep, so you wake up to skin that feels soft, looks bright, and appears more even-toned.

A Gentle Approach to Smoother-Looking Skin

Finding a retinol product that works without making your skin feel upset can be tough. That's why we love the ISNTREE Hyper Retinol EX 1.0 Serum. It uses a smart mix of retinol (0.1%), retinyl palmitate (0.3%), and bakuchiol (0.6%) to help your skin look fresher and feel smoother. Bakuchiol is a plant-based ingredient that works like retinol but tends to be kinder to your skin. This means you can enjoy the benefits of retinol with less chance of dry, flaky patches.

The serum feels light on your skin and sinks in fast, so you won't feel sticky or greasy. It helps smooth the look of uneven texture and supports your skin's natural turnover. Over time, you may notice your skin looks brighter and more even, with fine lines appearing less noticeable.

Support for Your Skin's Natural Barrier

Your skin has a natural shield that keeps moisture in and bad stuff out. ISNTREE Hyper Retinol EX 1.0 Serum helps support this shield with five types of ceramides. Think of ceramides as the mortar between skin cells - they help hold everything together. When your skin barrier is strong, your skin feels soft, looks calm, and stays hydrated.

This serum also has peptides that help your skin feel firm and bouncy. The mix of ceramides and peptides in this serum works to:

  • Help skin hold onto moisture better
  • Support skin that looks and feels more resilient
  • Keep your skin comfortable while retinol does its work
  • Help balance your skin so it doesn't feel too dry or too oily

Soothing Comfort for All Skin Types

If you've tried retinol products before and found them too harsh, this serum might be just right for you. ISNTREE has added TECA (from Centella asiatica plants) to help calm the look of redness. This plant extract is known for its soothing properties and has been used for centuries to help skin look and feel more balanced.

The serum also has ferulic acid and tocopherol (a form of vitamin E) that work as helpers to protect your skin from daily stresses. These ingredients team up to support your skin while it renews itself. Even if your skin tends to be on the sensitive side, this thoughtful blend helps make retinol more friendly for everyday use.

Simple Steps for Best Results

Using ISNTREE Hyper Retinol EX 1.0 Serum is easy to fit into your evening routine. Here's how to make the most of it:

  • Start with clean, dry skin after washing your face
  • Apply 2-3 drops to your fingers and gently press into your skin
  • Begin using it 2-3 times a week for the first two weeks
  • Slowly work up to nightly use as your skin gets used to it
  • Always use sunscreen during the day (this is super important with retinol!)
  • Store the bottle in a cool, dark place to keep it fresh

If you're new to retinol, your skin might need time to adjust. A bit of dryness at first is normal, but if your skin feels uncomfortable, just use the serum less often until it feels happy again.

What Makes This Serum Special

The ISNTREE Hyper Retinol EX 1.0 Serum stands out from other retinol products because it's made to be kind to your skin. It's free from things that might bother your skin - no added fragrance, no parabens, no sulfates, and no silicones. The formula is cruelty-free and vegan too, so you can feel good about your skincare choice.

This 20ml bottle may seem small, but a little goes a long way. Most people find it lasts 3-4 months with regular use. The serum works well for all skin types and all skin tones. It's especially nice if you're starting to notice fine lines or if your skin doesn't look as bright as it used to. Though it works for all ages, it's great for those 25 and up who want to be kind to their skin while helping it look its best.

Ready to help your skin look smoother and feel stronger? Add ISNTREE Hyper Retinol EX 1.0 Serum to your evening routine and wake up to skin that feels refreshed and looks renewed. Your journey to calm, happy skin is just a few drops away!

How to Use

For optimal results, start with a clean and toned face. Apply 2–3 drops of the product at night, beginning 2–3 times weekly during the first two weeks. Gradually increase usage to nightly as tolerated. Follow with a moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF 50 during the day. Store in a cool, dark place to prevent degradation of retinol. The 20ml bottle typically lasts 3–4 months with consistent nightly use. Designed for ages 25 and above to address early signs of aging, it can be incorporated into your evening routine after toner and before moisturizer. Avoid combining with AHAs, BHAs, or Vitamin C to ensure skin sensitivity is minimized and effectiveness is maintained.

Retinol 0.1% · Retinyl palmitate 0.3% · Bakuchiol 0.6%

Retinol, buffered from the start.

A 1.0 retinol complex — pure retinol, retinyl palmitate and bakuchiol together — carried in a base of five ceramides and peptides.

Night useAll skin typesBarrier-supported
ISNTREE Serum ISNTREE Hyper Retinol EX 1.0 Serum 20ml

What does it do?

Three forms instead of one.

The complex splits the load between a fast form, a gentler ester and a plant alternative — which is why it reads as milder than the number suggests.

A staged retinoid

0.1% pure retinol with 0.3% retinyl palmitate, so the strength isn't all delivered at once.

Bakuchiol alongside

0.6% bakuchiol, the plant ingredient people reach for when retinol has been too much.

Barrier support built in

Five ceramides and peptides in the base — the part most retinol serums leave to your moisturiser.

What's in it?

1.0 complex, ceramide base.

A light serum designed to be used at night.

1.0

Retinol complex

Retinol, retinyl palmitate and bakuchiol together rather than a single high-strength form.

02

Five ceramides

Barrier lipids in the same bottle as the actives.

03

Peptides & soothing botanicals

The comfort side of a formula that's asking a lot of the skin.

Is it for you?

For anyone who has bounced off retinol before.

The same ingredient, delivered in stages.

  • Fine lines and uneven texture
  • All skin types
  • Night use, building up slowly
  • Anyone who found pure retinol too much
On a break from a prescription retinoid

I recently used up my bottle of it … and I think it's perfect for beginners. It doesn't irritate at all but still gives that unique retinol glow.

Start slow. The formula expects you to.
