embrace

Proven retinoid results. Without the skin tax.

A two-retinoid system - liposomally encapsulated retinaldehyde and encapsulated retinyl propionate - designed to deliver visible renewal across two timelines. Fast-acting surface change, and deep, sustained renewal that builds over weeks. Buffered by a clinically studied barrier-reinforcing system and anti-inflammatory supporting cast.

embrace is a retinoid night serum built around two forms of vitamin A - chosen not because more is always better, but because these two work on different timelines.

Most retinoid products use retinol, which needs two conversion steps before your skin can actually use it. embrace uses liposomally encapsulated retinaldehyde (0.05%) - one step from active, fast-converting, with more predictable results. Alongside it, encapsulated retinyl propionate (0.3%) does the long-game work: it penetrates deeper, converts slowly, and builds sustained renewal over weeks. One retinoid for early, visible change. One for deep, progressive renewal that compounds over time.

Surrounding the retinoid system are ingredients chosen specifically to keep your barrier intact throughout. Everlasting Flower Water (20%) is highly regenerative, calms inflammation in the skin and accelerates skin’s wound healing. Tetrapeptide-21 works on firmness and elasticity over time. A 7-plant phytoactive complex (MultiEx BSASM Plus, 3%) was clinically shown at this exact concentration to reduce skin redness, itching, and moisture loss - the precise set of reactions retinoids can trigger. Mondo Grass extract (AD-Resyl) reinforces your skin's natural moisture barrier, helping minimise dryness and flaking.

The difference from any single-retinoid formula: not just the results, but how carefully embrace protects your skin while delivering them.

How to use :

• embrace is a PM-only serum. Start with 1 pump once every 3 nights for the first 3 weeks, then build up to every 2 nights for the next 4 weeks, and then eventually bring it up to every alternate night or every single night depending on your skin’s tolerance.
• Apply after cleansing and toner. If you use hustle, apply hustle first, wait 2-3 minutes, then apply embrace.
• 1-2 pumps only at your peak. embrace is concentrated - more product does not mean better results.
• Follow with in my defence moisturiser to seal in actives and support overnight barrier repair.
• Avoid the eye area and corners of the mouth, especially when starting out.
• Always use sunscreen the next morning. Retinoids increase photosensitivity.
• If skin feels reactive in the first few weeks, drop the frequency and build slowly. That’s a normal adjustment, not a bad reaction.
