Details & care

What it is: A potent yet gentle nighttime serum formulated to reduce signs of aging as it repairs a healthy, glowing tone.

What it does: The highly effective serum with retinol lineolate helps smooth the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven texture without irritation or downtime. Sodium hyaluronate and vegan squalane provide long-lasting hydration so that skin is left with a healthier, brighter glow.

Key ingredients:

- Retinyl linoleate: a gentler retinol and linoleic acid derivative that effectively treats congestion, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture and hyperpigmentation without the irritation typically associated with more aggressive forms of retinol

- Sodium hyaluronate: a more penetrable form of hyaluronic acid that absorbs easily to attract moisture for plump, hydrated skin

- Avocado fruit extract: a powerful source of moisture that aids in restored cell function and an overall appearance of smooth and supple skin

- Squalane: a hard-working emollient that repairs dry skin and helps to support a healthy skin barrier and microbiome

How to use: Use nightly after Balancing Mist (sold separately). Gently massage a dime-size amount of serum into face, neck and décolletage. Avoid applying too closely to eyes. Follow with Ritual Oil and/or Moisture Rich Balm (both sold separately) to lock in moisture.

Smooth as can be!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this retinol serum. I do mix it with my prescription retinol and it works beautifully! I use this every night.

A definite "no"
This product set my skin on fire, and it's not the first Oak Essentials product to irritate my skin. I happened to purchase the product directly from Oak Essentials who have poor customer service, so nothing to be done about that. If you insist on trying their products, go through Nordstrom who does have customer service when there is a problem. Nordstrom also carries some great skincare brands that won't rash you up (e.g. Susanne Kaufmann). It helped repair the Oak Essentials damage and has kept my skin in good condition. I like purchasing cosmetics through Nordstrom because they do help you out when there are problems.

Amazing!
This is the best non-prescription retinol I’ve used! It smooths out skin texture and fine lines and caused zero irritation or dryness. It also layers easily with many other products!

Nice product - smooth & calming
This paired well with the Oak Essentials moisture balm. Easy to use, great texture that is very light yet effective. I noticed firmer skin and improved pigmentation soon after using it. As are all other OE products, the bottle is attractive & packaging was great.

Anti aging night serum
Great product for sensitive skin. Helps reduce fine lines. Skin feels hydrated and fresh. Gentle and lightweight.

Great product
This is a great product. I noticed a reduction in fine lines and pore visibility early on. It works on my sensitive skin with no problems and I would definitely recommend to those using a retinol routine.
