Anti-Aging Moisturizer
Skin, considered. The final, comforting step. A cushiony cream with peptides and a touch of retinol that conditions the look of skin and seals in everything beneath it. Rich, but never heavy.
Why we love it
- Peptides and a touch of retinol. Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Tripeptide-29, and retinol help smooth and condition the look of skin.
- Nourishing, cushiony feel. Shea butter, ceramide NP, and meadowfoam seed oil for a soft, conditioned finish.
- Seals in your ritual. It locks in the serums beneath it and sinks in without feeling greasy.
How to use
- As your final step, massage a pea-size amount over face and neck.
- Because it contains retinol, use it in the evening, and always wear SPF during the day.
- Patch test first. Apply a small amount to your inner arm for a couple of days before using on the face. If you are pregnant, nursing, or planning to be, check with your doctor before using retinol products.

Retinol, the calm way to start
Use at night, as your last step, on clean dry skin. New to retinol? Start low and go slow, 2 to 3 nights a week, then build up as your skin adjusts. Always wear SPF in the morning. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult your physician before use, and patch test first.
See the fine-lines routine →I'm new to retinol. How do I start?
Start low, go slow: 2 to 3 nights a week at night, then build up as skin adjusts. Give it 6 to 12 weeks to show in the mirror.
Morning or night?
Night, as your final step. Retinol makes skin more sun-sensitive, so wear SPF every morning.
Is it fragrance-free or vegan?
No to both. It contains a light fragrance and milk lipids. Our two serums are the fragrance-free options.
Can I use it while pregnant?
Retinol is not generally recommended during pregnancy or nursing. Please consult your physician first.
