Best for:
Those wanting anti‑aging and renewal benefits at night without the dryness or sensitivity linked to classic retinol — especially helpful if your skin is sensitive, dry/dehydrated, or new to retinoid‑style products.

Love it!

First time buying this product, loved the feeling on my skin! Hard to say if I see any differences on my skin, but the feeling / smell / everything is great.

I received a gift with this purchase! Very good cream, I also use it on my hands. It is not greasy and absorbs very well. I will definitely buy it in the future.

I tried this night cream for the first time. I like the texture and the smell. I use it in combination with the serum or the Bakuchiol Oil and it works very well. My skin does not feel dry or irritated anymore. I will keep using it.

Fantastic product! As a skincare junkie, I have used many different retinol products, which have left my skin feeling from great to irritated. When I tried the MADARA alternative retinol, it was love from the first try. The formula is lightweight, it doesn't have the burning feeling many retinol type of products cause. Most amazingly it doesn't leave the feeling of dryness, so you need to use moisturizer asap. I have a 10-step skincare routine, and it works well with other products, like essences and serums. I also noticed it pairs really well with MADARA Hydra firm jelly. It gives an extra glow to my complexion, and for me this combo is a fantastic discovery and a step closer to the '"glass skin look". Highly recommend!

No rīta seja izskatās svaigāka, maigāka un labi mitrināta. Krēms ir bagātīgs, bet nejūtas smags uz ādas.

rétinol alternative nuit, douce crème pour de beaux rêves et une peau douce

Testée en dose d'essai, elle m'a beaucoup plu. Texture agréable, bonne odeur et belle peau à la clé. La peau est très douce après, confortable et non collante.

Kad kosmetoloģe manai sejas ādai ieteica retinola krēmu kā vispiemērotāko manas sejas ādas tipam, uzreiz pēc procedūras iegādājos to no viņas, lai gan ikdienā lietoju tikai dabīgas izcelsmes kosmētiku. Nodomāju - varbūt šis varētu būt kā izņēmums. Un tomēr kaut kā nevarēju saņemties to sākt lietot. Un tad, pēc kāda laika, pamanīju, ka "Madara Cosmetics" piedāvā šo alternatīvo retinola krēmu gan dienai, gan naktij! Daudz nedomājot, to iegādājos, un esmu ļoti apmierināta! Lietoju to jau ilgstoši - patīk gan tekstūra, gan smarža. Un lietoju to ar gandarījuma sajūtu, ka tas ir tieši tas, kas man nepieciešams, pie kam ar dabīgu un draudzīgu sastāvu!

Apply 1-2 pumps to clean face and neck every evening.

Where it fits in your routine:

Pair it with other Retinol Alternative formulas for best results.

Frequently asked questions

What is a retinol alternative?

Bidens Pilosa extract, the star ingredient of this night cream, works similarly to retinol by helping to activate retinoid-receptors in the skin. It delivers similar age-defying results comparable to retinol just without the irritation, redness or flaking associated with synthetic retinol products.

How does this night cream compare to conventional retinol?

It provides the same advantages as conventional retinol — like smoother skin, reduced wrinkles and improved skin texture — without the usual irritation and sensitivity that synthetic retinol can cause. Powered by Bidens Pilosa, a plant-based retinol alternative, it’s gentle enough for daily use while still providing noticeable, effective results.

Does the Retinol Alternative Plant-Powered Night Cream contain any vitamin A?

No, this night cream does not contain any vitamin A. Instead, it uses Bidens Pilosa, a natural retinol alternative that replicates retinol’s effects without causing irritation or sensitivity.

What skin types is the Retinol Alternative Plant-Powered Night Cream suitable for?

Thanks to its gentle formula, our night cream is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin in need of nightly hydration with the added bonus of youth-enhancing benefits. It’s the perfect blend of nourishment and age-defying care for delicate complexions.

Can I use the Retinol Alternative Plant-Powered Night Cream while pregnant?

Our night cream is formulated with a plant-based retinol alternative and is free from vitamin A, making it typically safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, we still advise checking with your doctor if you have any specific concerns.

Can I use this night cream in combination with other products from the Retinol Alternative collection?

Absolutely. The entire Retinol Alternative collection is specifically designed to work together for maximum results, addressing all steps of your skincare routine for smoother, firmer and more radiant skin.

Is this night cream vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, our Retinol Alternative Plant-Powered Night Cream is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. We do not test on animals during any stage of product development — never have and never will.
