WHO IS SHANI DARDEN

Considered the secret behind Hollywood’s most flawless faces, expert esthetician Shani Darden sets herself apart with her results-oriented approach to skin care.

Encapsulated Retinol contains a more gentle slow-release retinol that helps reduce visible signs of aging.
Lactic Acid exfoliates to smooth and brighten for immediate results.
Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract provides antioxidant defense against visible sun damage and pollution.

What it is

A game-changing treatment for firmer, youthful-looking skin, this multitasking anti-aging serum combines firming retinol with brightening lactic acid to visibly soften fine lines & wrinkles, even tone, smooth texture, and add radiance in as little as 14 days.* The gentle, yet potent, time-release formula delivers a steady stream of encapsulated retinol throughout the night to minimize the irritation of ordinary retinol—while transforming your skin.
Size: 1 fl oz / 30 ml.

Why it works

Encapsulated Retinol contains a more gentle slow-release retinol that helps reduce visible signs of aging.
Lactic Acid exfoliates to smooth and brighten for immediate results.
Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract provides antioxidant defense against visible sun damage and pollution.

Retinol can make your skin more susceptible to sun damage. Apply a sunscreen like Supergoop Everyday Sunscreen each morning when adding a retinol to your regimen.

Gets a WOW!
I’m 75 and have always shied away from retinol from the derm office as it’s too harsh on my skin. Three weeks ago a Sephora rep introduced me to the starter set (cleanser, lactic acid, and retinol reform). After just TWO WEEKS I noticed my skin’s texture had definitely improved! My dermatologist noticed, as well, when I went in for a little Botox touch up! ( I’m up to using the retinol 3 times a week and the lactic acid 3 times a week. )Yesterday I took advantage of Sephora’s sales and bought another starter set - great for traveling, too! I LOVE that it’s not making my skin flaky or irritable, only glowy and smooth! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
