Feels luxurious

I've been given this awesome little product by a friend as a Christmas gift. I really enjoy the concept of Nordic plant-based actives (I have a fascination with the Baltic countries). The formula feels very silky and just high-performance on the skin. I'm not the hugest fan of the scent of it, but it is still a good quality, well-made product. Reaching for it is my fave part of my daytime skincare routine, haha. Well done, Mádara!

Received this as a gift. Not sure if it works for me but it is lightweight and fast-absorbing, it seems to nourishes and hydrates the skin, making it suitable for daily use—even for sensitive skin. Maybe needs consistent use to reveal it's power.

Is it possible to apply it both morning and evening? Cheers

Reviews in Other Languages

Krēms ir patīkami viegls, bet tajā pašā laikā labi mitrina. Pēc lietošanas āda izskatās gludāka un svaigāka, bez smagas sajūtas uz sejas.

rétinol alternative jour, la crème des crèmes !

Crème très agréable tant par l'odeur que la texture. Elle laisse la peau douce et hydratée. Aucune apparition de boutons. Le teint est uniformisé. Elle ne graisse pas le visage et elle est presque imperceptible une fois appliquée. Correspond tout à fait à ma peau mixte sensible et mature.
Le flacon délivre le produit proprement sans gaspillage, ni résidu de crème séchée.

Frequently asked questions

What is a retinol alternative?

Bidens Pilosa extract, the star ingredient of this day 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 day cream compare to traditional retinol?

It delivers similar benefits to traditional retinol — such as smoother skin, reduced fine lines and improved texture — but without the irritation and sensitivity often associated with synthetic retinol. Powered by Bidens Pilosa, a plant-based retinol alternative, it’s gentle enough for everyday use while still providing effective results.

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

No, our day cream does not contain any vitamin A. Instead, it is powered by Bidens Pilosa, a natural retinol alternative that mimics the effects of retinol without the risks of irritation or sensitivity.

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

Due to its gentle nature, our day cream is great for all skin types, including sensitive complexions that seek essential hydration with youth-boosting benefits.

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

Since our day cream is powered by a plant-based retinol alternative and doesn’t actually contain any vitamin A, it is considered to be safe for use while pregnant or breastfeeding. However, we still recommend consulting a doctor if you’ve got any concerns.

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

Of course you can. In fact, the Retinol Alternative collection is made to be used simultaneously for the most intense results, encompassing all aspects of your daily skincare routine.

Is this day cream vegan and cruelty-free?

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