Is your skin starting to sag, and fine lines quietly appearing? It's not that you're aging fast, it's that you haven't found the right ingredients yet.

REL1 Firming & Renewing Serum Oil features 1% liposomal Retinol (Vitamin A) as its core, combined with the antioxidant skincare ingredient Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol, to deliver a truly science-backed anti-aging experience. Its lightweight, non-sticky texture is suitable for all skin types, allowing you to feel your skin transform from within, starting from the very first drop.

30ml | Lasts approximately 3–4 months


✦ What problems does this serum oil solve for you?

  • Fine lines and expression lines appearing, skin losing its youthful plumpness

  • Enlarged pores, uneven skin texture

  • Slowed skin renewal, dullness, and lack of radiance

  • Want to use Retinol, but afraid of irritation and "peeling"

  • Seeking an anti-aging serum based on ingredients, not empty claims


✦ Why does your skin need these ingredients?

① 1% Liposomal Retinol — Innovative Formula for High Efficacy, Low Irritation
Traditional Retinol can easily cause redness, stinging, and itching upon direct skin contact. REL1 uses Liposome technology to encapsulate Retinol, allowing for slow release onto the skin. This results in longer-lasting effects and significantly reduced irritation, making it suitable for both beginners to Retinol and advanced users who previously struggled with Retinol-induced irritation.

② Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol — Defends Against UV Oxidative Damage
This little-known yet powerful antioxidant effectively protects skin from UV-induced oxidative damage. It complements Retinol, allowing for both skin renewal and protection.

③ All-Oil Formula — Lightweight, Nourishing, Non-comedogenic
Formulated with Squalane and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride as its base, the oil texture is surprisingly lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. It is suitable for acne-prone skin and combination skin types.

④ Suitable for All Skin Types, Including First-Time Retinol Users
The formula is designed with skin tolerance in mind. The gradual application method allows all skin types to safely incorporate Retinol into their skincare routine, so you no longer have to hesitate due to fear of irritation.

⑤ Simple Ingredients, No Unnecessary Additives
The formula is precise and minimalist, free of alcohol, fragrance, parabens, and MIT. This ensures the ingredients truly benefit the skin without increasing the risk of sensitivity.


✦ Benefits

  • Firming & Lifting: Stimulates collagen production, restoring skin elasticity

  • Reduces Fine Lines: Accelerates cell turnover, improving fine lines and expression lines

  • Refines Pores: Promotes exfoliation of pore lining, visually minimizing pores

  • Locks in Moisture: Squalane ingredient provides powerful moisture retention, keeping skin hydrated all day

  • Antioxidant Protection: Fights free radicals and UV-induced oxidative damage


✦ Texture

A lightweight, oil-based serum oil. One to two drops are enough to spread over the entire face, feeling as light and smooth as water. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, making it suitable for use at the end of your skincare routine.


✦ Active Ingredients

Retinol (Vitamin A) — 1%, Liposome Encapsulated Technology
Recognized as the gold standard anti-aging ingredient in skincare, Retinol acts directly on the dermis to promote collagen synthesis and skin cell renewal. REL1 uses Liposome technology to encapsulate Retinol, overcoming the irritation issues of traditional Retinol, allowing for a more stable and gentle release of its effects.

Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol
A synthetic antioxidant from the Tocol family, it combats UVA/UVB-induced oxidative stress on the skin, protecting skin cells from free radical damage and enhancing Retinol's overall anti-aging efficacy.

✦ How to Use

  1. Use only in the evening

  2. After cleansing and your usual serum steps, dispense 1–2 drops  of REL1 into your palm

  3. Gently press and apply to your entire face, avoiding the eye area and broken skin

  4. Finish by layering with a moisturizer to seal in moisture

First-time Use Recommendation:
Start with 1–2 drops, using 3–4 nights per week for 2–4 weeks to build skin tolerance (Retinization). Afterward, you can adjust the amount and frequency based on your skin's condition.

⚠️ It is recommended to perform a patch test on the back of your ear or inner forearm before first use.


✦ Formulator Q&A

Q: I'm a first-time user of Retinol. How should I start?

A: When using REL1 Serum Oil for the first time, keep these three key points in mind:

1. Start gradually to allow your skin to adapt
Use 2–3 drops, 2–3 nights per week, rather than daily. Once your skin adapts, you can gradually increase the amount and frequency.

2. Use SPF diligently
During Retinol use, newly renewed skin cells are more sensitive to sunlight. It is crucial to apply adequate sun protection and only use the product at night.

3. Be patient for results
The skin's cell turnover cycle is approximately four weeks. After the adaptation period, the skin-improving effects of Retinol will gradually become apparent.


Q: Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use Retinol?

A: Typically, pregnant and breastfeeding women need to be most cautious about oral isotretinoin. While studies suggest that the dose of topically applied Retinol is far below teratogenic levels, it's impossible to conduct trials on pregnant women. Therefore, for safety, it is recommended that pregnant and breastfeeding women avoid using ingredients like Retinol and retinoids. They can choose alternative ingredients with similar benefits.


Q: What is the Retinization period like when using Retinol?

A: Retinization is a normal physiological response where the skin accelerates renewal when using retinoid-type ingredients. Initially, some individuals might experience mild redness, dryness, or slight stinging. By controlling the amount, enhancing moisturization, and conducting a patch test before the first use, these conditions will gradually diminish, and the skin will adapt and begin to show results.


Q: I have eczema or severe acne. Can I use this product?

A:
Eczema: It is recommended to avoid eczema-affected areas and only apply to other areas requiring treatment, or wait until the eczema is completely stable before use.

Severe Acne: While Retinol is effective in accelerating the exfoliation of dead skin cells within pores and reducing acne formation, if you have severe acne, it is recommended to first use a lightweight oil-control formula (such as products containing Niacinamide) or seek professional advice from a dermatologist.


Q: Why should Retinol be used at night?

A: Many people mistakenly believe that exposure to sunlight after applying Retinol in the morning will cause immediate "darkening" of the skin. However, the real reason is that Retinol molecules degrade in activity and become less effective when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, it is recommended to use it only at night to ensure the ingredients deliver optimal results.
