There is a new ingredient in town. It's called Retinal -- this beauty is about 11 times more potent than retinol but without the irritation some people feel. It works up to 11 times faster -- and works even better when paired with its botanical buddy, bakuchiol. Perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skin, our retinal cream will have you raising your hands in praise as you do a happy dance. While nothing is a miracle cure, this is a significant leap in the world of skincare and perfect for desperate skin seeking significant improvement. For use in the PM as part of your skincare routine.

While traditional retinol has been the gold standard for anti-aging, our cutting-edge formula takes it a step further with retinal, a direct derivative of Vitamin A. Retinal is said to be 11 times faster in delivering results and far less irritating. To anchor this stunning godess of an ingredient, we brought in a few of our Rainforest favorites. Pracaxi oil (or 'miracle oil') and cupuacu butter ("pharmacy in a fruit") along with Jojoba Oil and Blue Tansy , giving the new kid in town a delivery system that nourishes your skin while the retinal busies itself with super rapid cell turnover. The addition of bakuchiol (a botanical sister of retinal), maximizes the transformative power of this blend. Oh, and you will love how it feels on its own or used right on top of our Brilliance Vitamin C serum. The trio of Radiance, Brilliance and Deep Hydration Gel Balm sets the stage for a night to remember. One of many. (Note: partnering with Brilliance is divine!)

Featuring Retinal, Racaxi, Bakuchiol + Jojoba

What It Does

What makes Radiance different from traditional retinol creams?
Radiance uses retinal (the direct precursor to retinoic acid), which converts more efficiently in the skin than retinol — meaning faster results with less irritation.

Can it be used on sensitive skin?
Yes. Radiance was formulated to bring the power of retinoids to even reactive or mature skin. The combination of retinal and bakuchiol balances renewal with calm.

What visible changes can I expect?
Radiance refines skin texture, smooths fine lines, brightens dullness, and evens tone, revealing firmer and more luminous skin.

How is this product best used in a routine?Apply at night as the final step in your skincare ritual. It can be layered over serums or used in place of Meta Ultimate TX Cream for a more potent evening treatment.

How long until results appear?
With consistent use, improvements in tone, smoothness, and elasticity are often noticeable within 3–4 weeks.

Ingredients

Why choose retinal over retinol?
Retinal converts one step closer to retinoic acid, making it more active yet gentler than prescription-strength retinoids. It accelerates cell turnover and collagen renewal, visibly improving wrinkles and uneven skin tone.

What role does Bakuchiol play?
Often called the botanical sister of retinol, bakuchiol enhances retinal’s effects while reducing potential irritation. It helps boost firmness, calm redness, and improve elasticity.

How does Pracaxi oil support results?
Known as “pharmacy in a fruit,” pracaxi oil is rich in behenic acid and antioxidants, deeply hydrating the skin and improving suppleness while promoting repair.

Why include Vitamin C in a night treatment?
Vitamin C works synergistically with retinal to brighten and even tone while defending against free radical damage — a powerful duo for post-sun recovery and nighttime rejuvenation.

What makes this formula suitable for mature or post-menopausal skin?
A: Its combination of actives supports collagen renewal, elasticity, and hydration — three areas where mature skin often shows visible change.
