KEY ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:

• 0.1% Clean, Encapsulated Retinal
  Retinal is a new generation retinoid that's been shown to work 11 times faster than retinol but without the irritation!
  
  Retinal stimulates skin cell renewal and also boosts collagen production, enhancing skin's radiance, tone and texture and fading fine lines and wrinkles.
  
  This advanced retinal reconstructs skin to reverse sun damage and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and promotes an overall smoothness and evenness of facial skin tone. Raaie goes one step further by encapsulating the retinal to ensure the stability of the ingredient, so its potent power is protected until it meets your skin.
  
  
• 2% Bakuchiol
  Skin smoothing + works synergistically with Retinal. Bakuchiol is a plant-based antioxidant that offers similar collagen-boosting properties to retinoids but takes a different pathway. By combining bakuchiol and retinoids, we multiply the anti-wrinkle, skin firming effects.
  
  
• 5% Niacinamide to improve overall skin texture
  Niacinamide is a type of B3 that works your skin's natural chemistry to improve overall skin texture by rebuilding a lipid layer, minimising the appearance of pores, and preventing UV damage and inflammation.
  
  
• 3% Squalene to lock in moisture
  Squalene is a super hydrating natural emollient to lock moisture into your skin and relieve dry patches.
  
  
• 2 x Hyaluronic Acids to hydrate
  Two different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to supercharge hydration and give a dewy look on the surface of the skin, as well as hydrating deeper layers of the skin for lasting hydration throughout the day.
  
  
• 2% Native Marine Sea Algae to hydrate and brighten skin
  Hand-harvested off the Southern coast of the South Island of New Zealand. This sea algae is pumped full of antioxidants rich minerals from pristine streams that come up from the Antarctic, providing long-lasting hydration and skin brightening benefits.
  
  
• 2% NZ Alpine Rosehip to nourish and heal skin
  A natural form of Vitamin A and essential fatty acids, especially omega-3 (linolenic acid) and omega-6 (linoleic acid) to soften skin and improve skin barrier function. Wild-harvested from Wanaka.
  
  
• 1% Harakeke Native Flax to seal in moisture
  Packed with nutritious linoleic acid (omega 6), harakeke flax oil helps maintain our skin’s natural barrier, and both hydrates and moisturises.

HOW TO USE RAAIE RETINAL ELIXIR

After washing your face at night, wait a few minutes until your skin is completely dry, then apply over your face and neck. When it feels like it’s all soaked in, follow with your favourite moisturiser. Do not use if pregnant. 

NEW TO RETINOIDS?

Start out using it every third day for two weeks, then every other day for two weeks, gradually working your way up to nightly use. Retinoids work their magic by boosting skin cell turnover so consistency is key. Don’t exfoliate on the nights you use retinoids because it may cause irritation. Always always wear SPF during the day when on a retinoid programme.
