The esmi Resurfacing R0.25% retinol serum is the perfect introduction to the esmi retinol serum range especially if you're new to retinol or have sensitive skin as it is formulated with 100% encapsulated retinol to increase skin cell turnover and stimulate collagen synthesis for a fresher, firmer complexion.
Superior to standard retinol, encapsulated retinol has enhanced bioavailability and stability. The retinol is enclosed in tiny capsules which allows the active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin layer before being activated. This is ideal for sensitive skin as it maximises skin benefits while minimising surface dryness, irritation, and flaking associated with a traditional retinol serum.
The main ingredients:
Tackling signs of ageing, carrot seed oil is a skin revitalising combination of vitamin C to stimulate collagen, vitamin A for regeneration, and the moisturising benefits of vitamin E. Smoothing lines and encouraging a fresher complexion, carrot oil helps skin recover from sun damage and trauma, including scarring.
Help shield skin from UV and pollution damage with the rich antioxidant benefits of tomato extract. This natural skin booster also aids in oil regulation which makes it a great ally for oily, congested and acne-prone skin.
Our range of Retinol serums:
Start at a lower concentration and increase the % of retinol in your skincare step-by-step, when your skin is ready. This system sets you up for the best retinol experience with maximum effectiveness and minimal irritation.
- Level 1: 0.25%.
- Level 2: 0.5%
- Level 3: 0.75%
- Level 4: 1.0%
Increasing the concentration:
If you can't see any redness, peeling, or any other sign of irritation, your skin is ready for the next level. If you have sensitive skin, you may not be able to tolerate higher than Level 1 or 2.
Caution: Retinol is not a pregnancy or breastfeeding safe ingredient.

IS THIS PRODUCT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Answer a few questions and we’ll tell you how to achieve your skincare goals.
How to use
How to
Every second night after cleansing, apply a pearl size amount of Retinol onto your skin, avoiding eyes and applying with caution around corners of
mouth and nose. Allow to absorb and follow with your favourite esmi Moisturiser, Skin Mylck or esmi Oil Skin Treat.
Retinol makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight so it is crucial to use at least SPF30 each morning to protect your skin from photodamage.
Can you use retinol with other Skin Treats?
If you are using other Skin Treat serums, we recommend applying the serums on alternating nights (i.e Retinol serum one night and the other Skin Treat serum the next night). Alternatively, use the Skin Treat serum as part of your morning routine, as the retinol serum should always be applied in the evening.
