Christian Breton Retinol [Like] Age Control Cream

Plant Retinol-Like Age Control Cream for Mature Skin

A daily anti-ageing face cream built around a plant retinol-like active, designed as a gentler alternative to animal-derived retinol for mature skin. The lightweight, non-greasy texture layers easily under sunscreen and pairs well with a matching serum step.

Why Choose It?

• Plant retinol-like active: Uses a botanical retinol-alternative instead of animal-derived retinol, so mature skin can target firmness and deep wrinkles with a gentler profile.
• Antioxidant support: Vitamin E and a stack of botanical extracts including red marine algae, angelica root and barley leaf juice help defend skin against daily oxidative stress.
• Emollient comfort: Cotton seed oil, linseed oil and murumuru butter soften and nourish mature skin without a heavy or occlusive finish.
• Lightweight hydration: A glycerin-based humectant blend keeps skin supple and comfortable through the day without clogging pores.

• Cleanse and tone skin first; pat dry until just slightly damp.
• If using a serum step, apply that first and let it absorb.
• Dispense a pea-sized amount of cream onto fingertips.
• Massage gently over face and neck in upward circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area.
• Allow the cream to absorb fully before any follow-up product such as sunscreen in the morning.

Tips

• Always pair with a broad-spectrum SPF in the morning — retinol-like actives benefit from daily UV protection.
• If skin is reactive or new to retinol-like actives, start with evening-only use a few times per week and build up.
• Patch test on the inner forearm before first full-face use if skin is sensitive or already using strong actives.
