The Eventide Retinol Renewing Serum is the debut launch from Sepia, a new skincare brand that focuses on mindful formulations, inclusive testing, sustainable packaging and community care.
The plant-powered serum features optimally concentrated 0.3% encapsulated retinol to visibly improve the tone and texture of skin during sleep, a time when the body is naturally resting and repairing.
To rigorously test the efficacy of its serum on a diverse group of individuals, the brand conducted a 12-week clinical study of 43 participants representing all six Fitzpatrick skin types. The study also included participants of different ethnicities and genders. 95% of study participants said their skin felt smoother and softer after using the renewing serum.
