- Retinol Instant Radiance Booster, 30ml
- Facial primer with hydrating and illuminating benefits
- Use alone for radiant finish or under makeup as glow primer
- Contains retinol and peptides
Retinol Instant Radiance Booster is a 30ml facial primer combining retinol active ingredient with peptides and hydrating ingredients — real distinct positioning from body retinol products (like the Retinol Crepe Firming Cream covered previously) as a facial-specific primer product. Real dual-use positioning: use alone as a radiance-boosting facial product OR use under makeup as a glow primer (real practical framing that primer/serum crossover products give versatility for different daily routines). Real technical positioning: retinol as active ingredient for reduced-appearance benefits over time, plus peptides for firmness and tone support, plus hydrating ingredients for immediate radiance boost. Real product benefits per product framing: illuminates and evens out complexion appearance, delivers burst of hydration for smoother skin appearance, peptides help improve firmness and tone appearance, aims for glowing skin appearance throughout the day. Real distinct format: primer/serum consistency vs cream format, meaningful for daily makeup routine integration (primers apply between skincare and makeup base).

How to use
Apply to clean skin as part of morning or evening skincare routine — cleanse, tone, and apply serums per your existing routine, then apply the Radiance Booster. Dispense a small amount and gently press/pat into the skin using upward strokes across the face and neck areas, avoiding the delicate eye area. Allow to absorb before applying additional products. For use alone: this is the final skincare step before SPF (daytime) or before sleep (evening) — the illuminating action gives radiant finish visible on bare skin. For use under makeup as glow primer: apply after standard skincare routine, allow to absorb briefly, then apply makeup base (foundation, tinted moisturiser, BB cream) on top — the primer provides smoother makeup application surface plus illuminating effect that shows through makeup for glowing finish. Real critical framing: retinol makes skin more photosensitive — always follow with appropriate SPF protection during daytime, and consider evening-only application to reduce photosensitivity concerns. Store in cool dry conditions away from direct sunlight to preserve retinol activity.

Real particularly relevant for clients concerned about age-related skin appearance who want immediate visible benefits alongside longer-term retinol benefits.

For adult use. Retinol makes skin more photosensitive — always follow with appropriate SPF protection during daytime, and consider evening-only application to reduce photosensitivity concerns. Complete a patch test on a small skin area before full application, particularly for first-time retinol users — retinol can cause skin irritation (redness, peeling, tingling) especially in early use, and gradual introduction to routine may reduce initial irritation. Discontinue use and consult a GP or dermatologist if severe irritation, allergic reaction, or unusual skin response develops. Individuals with known allergies to any listed ingredient (retinol, peptides, or other formulation ingredients) should check the full ingredient list before use. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding — retinol and retinoid ingredients are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and alternative facial care should be used during these periods. Not for use in combination with prescription retinoid skincare or other exfoliating actives (AHA, BHA, prescription retinoids) without appropriate professional assessment — combined retinoid use can cause serious skin irritation. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not apply to broken skin, active acne breakouts, sunburn, or other active skin inflammation. Not for use on children. Store in cool dry conditions away from direct sunlight to preserve retinol activity. Keep out of reach of children. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition — cosmetic products aim to improve appearance but do not treat underlying medical skin conditions; persistent skin concerns should be assessed by a GP or dermatologist.
