A Potent Formula For Firm And Lifted Skin

When people say it’s time to “get serious” about skincare? This is the serum they’re talking about.

Very Amazing Retinal is a powerful but gentle retinal serum clinically proven* to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin tone, texture and elasticity. It will help to firm and lift the skin, and overall hydrate, protect, and brighten your complexion.

Doing vitamin A the Go-To way means this is not-your-average retinal serum. Our formula contains 0.25% retinal in it’s encapsulated form (less potential for irritation; just as efficacious), which plays alongside niacinamide to even skin tone and help to strengthen your skin barrier, and peptides to support with firming and lifting around the mouth, nose, and brow. Plus, orobanche extract which helps to balance the skin microbiota, keeping it happy, healthy, and hydrated, and mushroom extract and centella to help protect the skin from irritation. The whole formula is designed to support your skin for a clearer, bouncier and more luminous face.

Serious ingredients. Visible results. No mucking around.
Very Amazing Retinal is clinically proven* to:

reduce the appearance of fine lines by up to 40%
reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to 30%
reduce pigmentation by up to 70%

*Based on a 12 week clinical trial of 33 participants.

Very Amazing Retinal is proof that vitamin A can be uncomplicated. And it can be gentle. This face serum is dermatologically tested to be suitable for all skin types and skincare levels. Consider it the go-to retinal for beginners, skintellectuals, and every face in between.

Retinoid use is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Always consult your GP to determine exactly what your skin needs during this period.

This Product Will: Transform The Texture Of Your Skin!! It Will Not: Make Jokes. VERY SERIOUS SERUM.

To start - perhaps like me you have been led to believe that for a retinol based product to be effective you need to experience: peeling, burning, redness, flaking, sensitivity. Like me, you would be wrong! This product goes on like a silky hydrating dream. IT DOES: improve the texture of your skin. My skin has absolutely no texture! Soft as a cloud. It also somehow hydrates 🤷🏽‍♀️. Can’t explain how. Suspect magic involved. IT DOES NOT: cause any of the awful side effects I have listed above. Somehow this serum manages to be both gentle and effective simultaneously. A skincare miracle. Thank you Go-To overlords!! You have outdone yourself with this one.

People Have Been Saying I'm Glowing!!!

I mean, who doesn't love being told that they are 'glowing?!' This is exactly what people have been saying to me. Retinal has eased into my usual go-to night routine without a hitch. It feels silky smooth on my skin upon application. I've noticed a difference in my skin tone, red patches has eased and my skin feels smoother and more supple than ever before. This one is definitely staying in my night time routine cos I can't get enough of it. The go-to team have nailed it once again.

Really Rad Retinal

I have been sitting in the fence about retinal. My sensitive and occasionally dry / normal skin is pretty low fuss. I get the occasional outbreak (usually from poor sleep /diet). I have been using this for 3 weeks and it is lightweight, odourless and a cool bright yoke coloured skin treatment. My skin is more even and bright. It shines! It feels smooth and it will be staple in my arsenal of goodies for a long time coming. If you haven’t yet tried retinal and looking for your gateway drug into it, this is your key. Start low and slow, use the sandwich technique for application and this baby will have you glowing like never before. I did get some initial irritation, but a half pump every 2-4 days was enough for my skin.

The Serum All My Friends - And Facialist - Want To Try

Mostly cos I won’t shut up about it. Also, my skin is looking pretty great. My hyperpigmentation is basically non-existent, to the point where my facialist, who I had not seen for 6 months, asked if I’d tried some fandangle new laser. Given it was directly after summer, when melanin really kicks off, this was extremely validating. READ MORE

In the AM!

Very Amazing Retinal is Very Useful in your evening routine, only.

That A+ looking skin you see in the morning? It needs SPF protection.

In the PM!

Post-cleanse, and on dry skin, apply 1-2 pumps to your whole face. Right down to the neck and chest. Allow the serum to absorb into the skin, before following on with additional serums (non-active, hydrating is ok!), face oils, and creams.

Do not use exfoliating acids on the same day (try Skin Cycling instead). And if you are new to retinal or new to our formula, we recommend starting very slow. Try incorporating this serum into your evening routine once or twice a week, before gradually building up tolerance for more frequent use.

We said whole face, but you be the judge. If you’re looking to target fine lines around the eye only, or find this delicate area is much more sensitive than other parts of your face, we have a dedicated eye product that should do the trick.

And remember! Always patch test before use.

It truly is amazing!
I have been using this product since late September and after introducing it slowly I didn’t see results until recently. It has reduced fine lines and I get comments that my skin is glowing! Love it!

Making a big difference, without irritation!
This serum does what it says it does. My skin has tolerated it so much better than other vitamin A based products I have used before. No irritation at all so far after 2 weeks of use! My skin is smoother, I’m seeing a reduction in early fine lines (I’m 32) and an improvement in the overall condition of my skin barrier. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

Made the switch from retinol
I'm a long term retinol user, but decided to give retinal a try when GoTo released theirs. I'm now on to my third bottle, my skin is growing and hormonal acne flareups are very rare nowadays. I now use every second night as it's very gentle! Love it!
