Retinol 0.1
0.1% encapsulated retinol, the gentlest retinoid we make
Load 2 of 5 · Light
Up to 5 nights a week
A daily-tolerable active. Most skin can run one of these every day indefinitely without the barrier noticing.
A week has a budget of 12. At 2 a use, this is 6 uses a week if you run nothing else loaded. How the scale works.

Retinol at 0.1%, encapsulated, in the same squalane and ceramide base as the rest of the retinoid line. This is the entry point: low enough that most skin tolerates it nearly nightly, which for a retinoid matters more than strength does.
Load 2. Five nights here is a lower weekly total than three nights at load 4, and for anyone who has previously abandoned a retinoid because of the adjustment, it is the better trade. Move up only when this is genuinely uneventful.
