Great For Sensitive Skin

I'm so glad that Kinship came out with a retinoid. This product is great for sensitive skin and has a nice light scent to it. It was so easy to add to my nighttime routine.

Worth ALL the hype!

I’m completely obsessed. I’m not big into skincare these days— I’ve never used a retinol before and I usually just wash/moisturize with decent drugstore brands and call it a day. I don’t have wrinkles or fine lines yet but I do have some acne scarring on my chin (which is where I occasionally break out) that was sticking around quite a while. I’m not imagining it- THIS PRODUCT has helped those dark spots fade in less than two weeks! In addition, my skin is vibrant in a way I never could have imagined. I didn’t think I had dull skin but now I can’t imagine going back— I feel so radiant when I see my skin in the mirror every morning. It feels so light & luxurious to apply and the lovely scent is extremely gentle. I’m a believer, I’m hooked, I’m all about this stuff!

So gentle!

This serum is so gentle and does not give me dry irritated peeling skin that traditional retinols do! My skin It has a lightweight creamy texture and lovely very light lavender scent. This is great if you have sensitive skin or just beginning to incorporate retinoids!

Silky smooth and lovely scent

I was so excited to have a Retinoid product for sensitive skin. I have been worried about trying Retinol as my skin isn’t fond of harsh products however I do like this one so far. The texture is so silky and feels very hydrating along with the product having a lovely subtle scent of lemon. Extremely excited to continue using this and see how it benefits my skin

What Is A Retinol Serum?

Retinol serum is a skincare product formulated with Retinol, a vitamin A derivative known for improving skin texture and promoting skin renewal.

It helps accelerate skin cell turnover, stimulating collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and sun damage. It is particularly effective at treating fine and dynamic lines while rejuvenating dull, tired skin.

Unlike other face serums that focus on hydration or antioxidant protection, Retinol serums specifically target signs of aging, including deep wrinkles and acne scars. This makes them a popular choice for improving skin health and texture.

Kinship's Dreamwave 2% Bio-Retinoid Complex Overnight Serum distinguishes itself by utilizing a patent-pending Bio-Retinoid derived from micro-algae.

It offers the benefits of traditional Retinol without the associated skin irritation, making it a perfect option for those with very sensitive skin.

Why Should I Use A Retinol Serum?

Incorporating a Retinol serum like Dreamwave into your skincare routine can greatly enhance skin firmness, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The active ingredients, including niacinamide, help balance oil production, minimize the appearance of clogged pores, and improve overall skin health. Plus, the addition of tranexamic acid helps tackle discoloration caused by sun exposure.

The serum includes ingredients like hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate, which help keep the skin hydrated and combat dryness. This makes it suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive or very sensitive skin.

By making it a regular part of your nighttime routine, you can achieve smoother, glowing skin while addressing multiple skin concerns in a single step.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


How Do You Apply Retinol?

To apply Retinol, start with a clean, dry face and take a pea-sized amount of the product. Gently dot it across your forehead, cheeks, and chin, then spread it evenly, avoiding the eye area.

Retinol use should always be in the evening to reduce sun exposure risks, as Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Follow with a moisturizer that contains aloe vera or vitamin E to minimize dryness or skin irritation.

Start by using it every other night to allow your skin to adjust, then gradually increase frequency as tolerated. Regular use will help improve skin texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Should I Use Moisturizer After Retinol?

Yes, you should use a moisturizer after applying Retinol to help reduce dryness or irritation that Retinol may cause, as moisturizer creates a barrier that helps seal in hydration and supports your skin’s natural protective layer.

This is especially important for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, as moisturizing helps balance the skin’s moisture levels, reducing the potential for skin irritation.

For best results, wait a few minutes after applying Retinol before applying your moisturizer.

Can I Leave Retinol On My Face Overnight?

Yes, Retinol is designed to be left on your face overnight to boost cell turnover, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve skin tone and texture.

Retinoic acid works while you sleep, stimulating collagen production and reducing deep wrinkles. Just make sure to follow up with a moisturizer and apply sunscreen in the morning, as Retinol increases sun sensitivity.
