New Product Alert: Leahlani Aqua A Retinoid Renewing Serum

If you have been looking for a gentler retinoid option, this newly launched serum from Leahlani is one to consider trying, especially if you're looking for your first retinoid.

As with all Leahlani products, their new Aqua A Retinoid Renewing Serum is natural, organic, free from synthetic chemicals, and manufactured sustainably in Hawaii. (Read more about Leahlani's process here.)

Combining botanical extracts like Kakadu Plum seed oil, Orchid oil, and Elderberry extract with bioavailable Vitamin A and Ceramides, this serum will nourish your skin while plumping and encouraging the cell turnover we all want from a retinoid, in a low-irritation formula. With continued use, Aqua A can help give your overall complexion a renewed appearance, with skin appearing plumper, more elastic, and with reduced fine lines and wrinkles.

If you are adding Aqua A to your regimen and it's your first experience with a retinoid, start out using it a few times a week (about every other night). If you aren't experiencing irritation, gradually build up to daily use over the course of a few weeks.

For those with retinoid experience, it is recommended to discontinue using any other retinoid products (including retinol and retinoic acid), while using this serum.

As with all retinoid products, Aqua A should be applied as part of your night time routine only, and wearing SPF during the day is a must. Talk to a doctor before using any topical retinoids if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
