Vitamin A is a powerful ingredient in skincare, but not all Vitamin A is created equal.

In the treatment room, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Your skin type, barrier health, and experience level all determine which form of Vitamin A we use.

We guide your skin through different forms over time, building strength, resilience, and long-term results.

Why Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is the gold standard for:

• Skin renewal and resurfacing
• Collagen and elastin support
• Refining pores and congestion
• Treating pigmentation
• Long-term age management

But using the right form at the right time is everything.

Understanding Our Vitamin A Range (and where you fit)

Bakuchiol & B3 Serum

If you’re new to active skincare or sensitive to Vitamin A, this is where we begin.

• Plant-based alternative to retinol
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding safe
• Supports skin health and immunity (with Niacinamide)
• Clinically shown to deliver similar results to retinol

Best for: first-timers, sensitive skin, compromised barriers

Building Strength: Retinol

Potent Retinol Serum (0.5%)

A controlled introduction to active Vitamin A.

• Pure, stable retinol
• Helps regulate oil flow and congestion
• Targets mild pigmentation and sun damage
• Can be “drip fed” into your moisturiser to build tolerance

Best for: oily, congested, or early signs of ageing

Retinol Concentrate (1%)

A step up for skins ready for more intensive correction.

• Higher-strength retinol for deeper resurfacing
• Targets stubborn pigmentation and congestion
• Must build up from 0.5% first

Best for: experienced users needing stronger results

Repair Mode: Sensitive & Compromised Skin

Retinoic Oil

A completely different approach to Vitamin A.

• Direct-acting ester (gentler pathway)
• Focus on barrier repair and inflammation
• No need to “drip feed”
• Nourishing, lipid-rich texture

Best for: dry, reactive, impaired, or sensitised skin

Advanced Results: Retinal

Retinal V8 Fusion

Our most advanced Vitamin A formulation.

• Retinaldehyde (works up to 11x faster than retinol)
• Hybrid serum-cream texture (can be used on its own)
• Supports collagen, hydration, and refined pores
• Immediate smoothing and long-term age management

Best for: experienced Vitamin A users ready for next-level results

Why We Progress Your Skin (Instead of Jumping In)

One of the biggest mistakes with Vitamin A is going too hard, too fast.

Healthy skin isn’t built through irritation; it’s built through consistency and progression.

In the salon, we:

• Start where your skin is now
• Strengthen your barrier first
• Gradually increase intensity
• Adjust based on how your skin responds

This is how we get results without compromising your skin.

So… Which Vitamin A Is Right for You?

That depends on:

• Your skin type
• Your sensitivity level
• Your current routine
• Your long-term skin goals

If you’re unsure, this is exactly what we guide you through in a consultation.

Whether you’re brand new or ready to level up, we’ll map out the right pathway for your skin.
