Matthias Hug, founder of Fleur & Bee, said, “Retinol is one of the best-researched skincare ingredients and highly effective at increasing cell turnover, targeting signs of aging and reducing acne. Unfortunately, most products on the market are not designed for people new to retinol and are too harsh. Our goal was to create a formula people with sensitive skin or new to retinol can use. Evening primrose oil, aloe vera, and squalane help soothe and reduce any potential inflammation caused by introducing retinol into your routine. We created a formula that is choke-full of quality ingredients that work synergistically to deliver results and nourish your skin.”
