Does the Nightly Renewal Cream Contain Retinol?

Yes! At She & I Skin Co, being transparent about what's in every product is something taken seriously.

The Nightly Renewal Cream contains Retinyl Palmitate, a form of Vitamin A and one of the most trusted age support ingredients available in skincare. It's in the formula because it works: supporting the skin's natural renewal process, improving tone and texture, and helping to manage the visible signs of ageing over time.

Because retinol is an active ingredient, it's worth introducing gradually, particularly for those with sensitive skin, or anyone already using a retinol product elsewhere in their routine. Using too high a dose from multiple sources can cause reactivity, so incorporating it slowly is always the better approach.

What sets the Nightly Renewal Cream apart is how the formula is constructed around the active. The supporting ingredients, shea butter, safflower oil, and buriti fruit oil, are deeply nourishing and work to balance and protect the skin barrier alongside the Vitamin A, significantly reducing the likelihood of sensitivity. It's a gentler retinol experience than many people expect.

One important note: the Nightly Renewal Cream is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. For those who are pregnant, the Pregnancy Safe Signature Set is available, which replaces the night cream with the Repair Balm, a rich, nourishing alternative that delivers overnight hydration without the Vitamin A.
