Anti-Ageing Retinol Night Moisturiser with SYN-AKE 60ml

skinChemists is the award-winning, British skincare company. Our Best Selling, top rated Retinol Night Moisturiser works to visibly smooth wrinkles and fine lines and restore firmness. Rich and deeply nourishing, it keeps skin feeling soft, plump, and gives you the confidence to face every day feeling great in your skin.

What it does for you:

• Smooths fine lines

• Reduces the look of wrinkles

• Helps firm and lift the skin

Key Ingredients (Why it works):

• Retinol: A gold-standard ingredient that helps speed up cell renewal, smoothing out fine lines and improving skin texture over time.

• SYN-AKE (Snake Venom Peptide): A synthetic peptide that mimics the relaxing effect of snake venom, helping to visibly smooth expression lines and wrinkles.

Ideal for:

Ideal for skincare lovers who are ready to introduce retinol into their routine and want visible improvements in wrinkles, firmness, and skin texture overnight.

For the best results:

• Week 1: You may start to wake up with skin that feels softer and more comfortable from the first few uses.

• Week 4: With regular use, fine lines may begin to appear softer and skin can look more rested and hydrated in the morning.

• Week 8: With consistent overnight use, skin may start to feel firmer and smoother, with a more even tone over time — results can vary.

How to use:

Cleanse your face thoroughly in the evening. Apply any serums and allow to absorb. Take a small amount of the night moisturiser and warm it between your fingertips. Apply to the face and neck using gentle upward massageing motions. Leave on overnight. Rinse face in the morning as normal.

Concerns addressed:

Fine Lines, Wrinkles, Loss of Firmness

Skin Type:

Normal to mature skin

Pairs well with:

Pairs well with a targeted facial serum applied before this cream at night, and a gentle eye cream used around the orbital bone for a complete evening routine.

Best time of use:

Evening

Pro Tips:

For enhanced results, apply your night moisturiser to slightly damp skin after your evening serum — damp skin absorbs moisturising ingredients more effectively, helping you wake up with a noticeably more hydrated complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Should I use retinol every night or just a few times a week?

A: If you are new to retinol, start by using it two to three times a week and build up to nightly use as your skin adjusts. This helps minimise potential dryness or sensitivity while still delivering the anti-ageing benefits.

Q: Can I use this retinol night moisturiser with other active ingredients?

A: Retinol works best on its own at night. Avoid combining it with strong acids like AHAs or BHAs in the same routine. In the morning, always follow with SPF as retinol can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
