Arencie | Retinal Tightening Booster

How is this different from retinol?

Retinal is the direct precursor to retinoic acid, making it more potent and faster-acting than retinol. Our 0.1% retinal delivers results equivalent to 1% retinol but with better tolerance and less irritation. While retinol needs to convert twice in your skin to become active, retinal only converts once — meaning you see results faster with fewer side effects. It's the perfect middle ground between gentle retinol and prescription tretinoin.

Will this irritate my skin?


Our 0.1% encapsulated retinal is specifically designed for gentleness. Unlike harsh retinoids that can cause redness and peeling, our time-release formula delivers results without irritation. The encapsulation technology allows for gradual absorption, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. Most users experience only a mild tingling sensation initially, which is completely normal and indicates the product is working. Start with 2–3 times per week and gradually increase as your skin adjusts.

Is it safe around my eyes?

Yes! Our gentle 0.1% retinal formula is specifically formulated to be safe for the delicate eye area. Unlike stronger retinoids that can cause stinging or damage around the eyes, our encapsulated delivery system ensures controlled, gentle application. Many customers use it specifically for crow's feet and under-eye lines with excellent results.

How long until I see results?

Most users notice initial improvements within 2–3 weeks, with significant changes by 4–6 weeks.

Clinical studies show measurable pore reduction after just one use, with continued improvement over time.

Remember, retinal works by accelerating cell turnover, so consistency is key — use 2–3 times per week initially, building up to nightly use as tolerated.

How do I use it?

  1. Cleanse your face with your regular cleanser
  2. Apply 2–3 drops to clean, dry skin in the evening
  3. Gently massage into face and neck, avoiding the eye area
  4. Follow with your favorite moisturizer
  5. Start with 2–3 times per week, then increase to nightly as tolerated

Pro tip: Always use sunscreen during the day when using this product.

Use consistently for best results — most people see visible improvements within 14 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this with other products?

Safe to use with:

  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Ceramides
  • Peptides
  • Moisturizers
  • Sunscreen (always use during the day)

Avoid using with:

  • Vitamin C (use vitamin C in the morning, this at night)
  • AHA/BHA acids (alternate nights)
  • Benzoyl peroxide
  • Other retinoids

Always introduce new products slowly when combining with this serum.

Can I use this on sensitive skin?

Yes! This formula is gentler than retinol, but start slowly. Use once a week for the first 2 weeks, then gradually increase to 2–3 times per week. Always follow with moisturizer and stop if you experience burning or excessive irritation. Patch test first if you have very sensitive skin.

Is it safe to use?

Yes, our formula is clinically tested and safe when used as directed. It’s designed for gentle daily use and is free from harsh irritants like sulfates and parabens.

Does this help with sunken eyes?

It can help improve the look of tired, hollow under-eyes by boosting firmness, smoothing fine lines, and thickening delicate skin over time. While it won’t act like a filler, consistent use may make the under-eye area appear more refreshed and less sunken. For deeper hollowness caused by volume loss, pairing it with a hydrating eye cream can enhance results.

How stable is the formula?

Our formula uses encapsulated retinal, which is significantly more stable than traditional retinol. This means it stays potent longer, delivers consistent results, and is less likely to cause irritation. We’ve also packaged it in an airless pump to protect it from light and oxygen — two things that usually degrade vitamin A products.

Is this suitable for all skin tones?

Yes, it’s safe and effective for all skin tones. The formula is gentle and non-irritating, helping to improve texture and radiance without causing dryness or patchiness — making it great for every complexion.

What skin types is this best for?

Our retinal booster is formulated to be gentle yet effective, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, and combination skin. If you’re new to Vitamin A, we recommend starting with 2–3 times a week, then building up as your skin adjusts.

Is this vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, our formula is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. We never test on animals, and none of our ingredients are derived from animals — just clean, science-backed actives your skin will love.

Such a game changer

Working as a waiter in the summer literally made my skin soo dark and decided to give this a try after seeing it on tiktok for WEEKS. Didn't think it made much of a difference until my sister pointed out that my skin's getting brighter and my wrinkles were gone! Been using this every week ever since and I love it soooo much

I pack it for vacations now too!

ex- air stewardess here, got really bad sun damage from being 12,000 above the feet when i was younger causing alot of wrinkes! I've been using it for 2 months and I never expected my skin to smoothen out! Used it every 3 days and I feel SO MUCH happier as its now part of my routine!!

Definitely worth a try!

This product is amazing. It has been less than a week and I am already seen a difference on my sun spots and wrinkles. Will continue buying!

Thank you Arencie!!

I honestly didn’t think this would work. I’ve tried everything for my scares and textured skin and nothing made a difference until this. My skin feels tighter, looks brighter, and even my husband noticed (which never happens!). It’s officially part of my self-care routine.

Best Retinal I ever used

Can’t explain how good it feels to look in the mirror and actually LIKE my skin again. For years, I avoided close-up selfies because of my dark spots. After 3 weeks with this, I’m taking pictures without filters. That confidence is priceless.
