SBTRCT created the world's first solid retinoid skincare bar, the Rejuvenating Night Balm, and it's a product that's beneficial for evening out the tone of the skin, enhancing the skin's texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and doing so with much less irritation than retinol.
Those who are just starting out with incorporating retinol into their beauty routine are urged to do so slowly to minimize risk of irritation but this is a product that boasts "the high performance of retinol but with significantly lower irritation." The active ingredient, Granactive Retinoid, in the skincare balm is joined by other protecting, restoring and moisturizing ingredients like squalane. As such, the solid skincare balm is ideal for those who are new to anti-aging skincare.
Exclusively for nighttime use, the product can be warmed with the hands and massaged into the face, neck and decolletage.
