We've made the switch from retinyl palmitate to ultra-effective encapsulated pure retinol. This high-performance, balm-like serum is now powered by a 3% time-release retinol complex with 0.3% AC Retinol Liposome encapsulated pure retinol for effective skin penetration, plus a peptide complex to target fine lines and wrinkles and help to improve skin tone. What's changed? Our brand-new encapsulated retinol formula contains a form of retinol that has been balanced and blended with other ingredients to ensure optimum anti-ageing results overnight, every night. Our new and improved formula will also help to lighten hyperpigmentation, especially those caused by sun exposure. Why use encapsulated retinol? Our formula now contains a slow-release complex with encapsulated pure retinol instead of a blend of retinyl palmitate and retinol (which comprised our old formula). Encapsulated pure retinol converts to retinoic acid (the most active form of retinol) quicker and is less irritating than other forms. We use three encapsulation techniques to ensure the range is suitable for everyone, for layering in a routine and to minimise the chance of irritation. The formula is also balanced with other skin-boosting ingredients like peptides, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. USAGE RESTRICTIONS Patch test before use.

FAQs
How often should I use the Nip+Fab Retinol Fix Serum Extreme?
Start by using it 2-3 times per week and gradually increase the frequency as your skin tolerates it. Aim for nightly use, but always monitor your skin for signs of irritation.
Can I use this serum if I have sensitive skin?
The serum is designed to be less irritating than other retinol products due to the encapsulation technology. However, if you have very sensitive skin, do a patch test first. Start with a lower frequency of use and monitor your skin's reaction.
Can I use other skincare products with this serum?
Yes, but avoid using other products that contain harsh ingredients like AHAs, BHAs, or benzoyl peroxide at the same time, as this can increase irritation. Incorporate the serum into your existing routine, but introduce new products gradually.
What should I do if the serum causes irritation?
If you experience redness, peeling, or discomfort, reduce the frequency of use. If the irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Should I use sunscreen while using this product?
Yes, absolutely! Retinol increases your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every morning.
Is this serum safe to use during pregnancy?
Consult with your doctor before using this product during pregnancy.
How long will a bottle of Nip+Fab Retinol Fix Serum Extreme last?
The duration depends on how often you use it, but typically, a 50ml bottle will last for several months with regular use.
Troubleshooting
Skin irritation (redness, peeling) after use.
Reduce frequency of use or discontinue use. Ensure you are using SPF daily and moisturizing adequately. Consult a dermatologist if irritation persists.
No noticeable results after several weeks.
Ensure consistent use. It may take several weeks to months to see noticeable results. Continue use and monitor for changes. If concerns persist, consult with a skincare professional.
