Smooths and brightens the look of skin
Supports collagen production and elasticity
No skin irritation or sun sensitivity

RE/NEWAL is a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum formulated as a gentle plant-based alternative to retinol. At the heart of the formula is bakuchiol, a botanical compound known to support cell turnover, improve the appearance of elasticity, and promote a smoother, more even complexion over time... without the irritation or sun sensitivity commonly associated with traditional retinoids.

Its rich golden color comes from cold-pressed fruit oils naturally abundant in carotenoids, pro-retinol compounds, and antioxidant phytonutrients that help defend against oxidative stress and environmental stressors, including blue light exposure. The base is a biomimetic sugarcane squalane infused with whole botanicals to support the skin barrier and mimic the skin’s own lipids for soft, balanced hydration. Together, these ingredients nourish and replenish without leaving a heavy or greasy finish.

Free from added fragrance and essential oils, RE/NEWAL is gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin and suitable for daily use. It’s also formulated without retinoids, making it a pregnancy- and breastfeeding-friendly alternative to traditional retinol.

Use morning and/or night. Apply ½–1 pump onto slightly damp skin, ideally after a hydrosol. Gently pat or massage until fully absorbed.

If the skin feels heavy or oily, reduce the amount. RE/NEWAL can be safely used alongside retinols or other serums as part of your skincare routine.

I’ve been using Re/Newal consistently for over 2 years now and I cannot recommend it enough.

First of all, it smells incredible, like fruity berries. I use it both morning and night. In the morning I apply it after my vitamin c serum and it absorbs so quickly and feels like satin on my skin! In the evening I apply it after my retinoid (adapalene). One of the things I love most about this serum is how easy it is to layer with other products. I’ve learned (thank you Isa) that a little goes a long way with this one! It should glide on the skin and if it feels too oily then you’re using too much. In the updated bottles (all black with the pump cap + twist seal) I’ve found that 1 pump is the perfect amount for me. I recommend this to every skincare baddie I know, I love it so much!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my second bottle and I couldn’t be more in love.

I have very sensitive skin prone to breakouts and it doesn’t trigger any acne! Im scared of retinol so this product is a god send for a 34 year old who loves the sun.

my skin looks and feels so soft and supple

I combined this with the Leland blue tallow balm for my evening ritual and my skin looks and feels so soft and supple in the morning. I have oily skin and this combo seems to balance my skin out perfectly. Also a little bit goes a long way!

I am in LOVE with this retinol alternative.

It's silky and smells divine. After using a prescription retinoid for several years (and it destroying my moisture barrier) Re/Newal is truly renewing my skin!
