Renew Skin While You Sleep

As we age, skin cell turnover naturally slows, making fine lines, uneven texture and loss of firmness more noticeable. PALS 2.5% Retinol Serum combines high-performance Retinol with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E to help visibly smooth fine lines, improve skin texture and support a firmer, healthier-looking complexion.

Unlike many retinol formulas that can leave skin feeling dry or irritated, our lightweight, hydrating formula is designed to deliver visible results while helping maintain your skin's moisture barrier. Wake up to skin that feels smoother, looks more refined and appears refreshed with consistent nightly use.

Why You'll Love It

  • Helps visibly smooth fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improves skin texture and uneven tone
  • Supports firmer, healthier-looking skin
  • Hydrates with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E

How to use

When to use

Evening only (PM)
Retinol works best overnight, when skin is in repair mode.

How to use

Cleanse your skin and pat dry.
Apply a few drops of the serum and gently press into the skin until absorbed.
Follow with your Replenishing (Hyaluronic) Serum to support hydration and comfort.

How often to start

If you’re new to retinol, start slowly.
Use 2–3 nights per week at first
As your skin adjusts, gradually increase to nightly use if comfortable
This helps minimise dryness or sensitivity.

Sun awareness (important)

Retinol can make skin more sensitive to the sun.
Use SPF every morning while using this product
Avoid direct sun exposure where possible
This is standard retinol care and helps protect results.

What to avoid using at the same time

To keep skin calm, avoid layering with strong exfoliating acids on the same night, including:
AHAs (Glycolic, Lactic, Mandelic)
BHAs or blemish treatments
PHA toners

These can be used on alternate nights if part of your routine.

Where this fits in your routine

Evening routine order:
Cleanse
Tone (optional)
Treat — Anti-Wrinkle Serum
Moisturise

Morning:
Finish with SPF as usual.

Your Questions, Answered

Q: What is Retinol?
A: Retinol is a type of retinoid, derived from vitamin A, that speeds up skin cell turnover when applied. It helps shed old skin cells and reveal new skin underneath.

Q: How does retinol work?
A: Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, works like a charm to smoothen skin, tackle wrinkles, fade dark spots, and even out skin tone – it's like a superhero for your skin!

Q: What are the main benefits of retinol?
A: Retinol is a multitasker! It fights acne, clears pores, boosts collagen, reduces pigmentation, brightens, and takes care of fine lines and wrinkles.

Q: Are there any side effects of retinol?
A: Yep, there can be side effects like irritation, redness, and dryness, but they differ from person to person depending on the formula and skin type.

Q: Who's the retinol crew for?
A: Good news – retinol is generally safe for most people. It's like a party that everyone's invited to!

Q: Can sensitive skin use retinol?
A: Sensitive skin can totally join the retinol party, but it might need a bit of training. Introduce it slowly and kindly, and watch how your skin reacts.

Q: How should I add retinol to my skincare routine?
A: Get started in your 20s for a glowing future! Introduce it gradually – once or twice a week – and watch for side effects. Always rock that sunscreen too!

Q: When will I see results with retinol?
A: Patience, friend! Results might take a few weeks or months, especially for severe acne. Stay consistent, and your skin will thank you.

Q: Can I mix AHA/BHA with retinol?
A: Mix and match alert! You can combine retinol with AHA (glycolic acid) or BHA (salicylic acid) exfoliants for boosted anti-aging benefits. But make sure to use them at different nights/ time of the day. Just listen to your skin's vibes.

Q: What's special about your Retinol Serum?
A: Our Retinol Serum is like a magic potion – 2.5% retinol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, jojoba oil, and more! Results kick in after a few weeks of rockin' it.

Q: Can I use AHA/BHA with Retinol?
A: You bet! Research shows that combining retinol with AHA/BHA exfoliants can level up their anti-aging prowess. But play it cool and watch how your skin grooves with it.

I have mature skin and I have used a number of different retinol serums. Focused on anti aging Pal's Retinol is the standout serum. With only using for a month I have noticed the lines on my forehead, crows feet and above the lip lines are diminishing, my skin is firmer, brighter, smoother and more plump. There has been no irritation. I am loving Pal's products and a bonus to be able to purchase locally. I look forward to placing my next order
