Dr. Brandt Triple Active Retinol

Overnight retinol cream with bakuchiol for smoother mature skin

Dr. Brandt Triple Active Retinol is a gentle overnight face cream that pairs retinol with bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative, to smooth fine lines and even out skin tone while you sleep. A supportive blend of ceramides, squalane and soothing botanicals helps keep the skin barrier comfortable through nightly retinoid use.

Why Choose It?

• Smooths fine lines: A tri-active system of retinol and bakuchiol works overnight to visibly soften fine lines and refine skin texture.
• Evens skin tone: Helps fade the look of uneven tone and dullness for a more radiant complexion by morning.
• Supports the skin barrier: Ceramides and squalane reinforce the barrier and seal in moisture, offsetting the dryness retinoids can leave behind.
• Comfortable for nightly use: A soothing botanical blend and cushioned cream texture keep the formula gentle enough for regular evening application.

Best For

Mature skin and skin showing early signs of ageing — fine lines, uneven tone and dullness — that wants a measured, well-tolerated introduction to retinol. The pairing of retinol with bakuchiol, ceramides and squalane is designed to deliver smoothing benefits while keeping the cream comfortable enough for nightly use.

Use in the evening as the final step of the skincare routine. For an even more cushioned finish on drier nights, layer with a Dr. Brandt face cream over the top once the retinoid cream has absorbed.

• Cleanse and tone skin as usual; pat until just damp.
• Dispense a pea-sized amount of cream onto fingertips.
• Apply in small dots over the forehead, cheeks, chin and neck, then smooth outwards in upward motions.
• Allow several minutes for the cream to absorb before lying down on the pillow.
• Use every evening, and always apply broad-spectrum SPF the following morning — daytime sun protection is essential whenever retinol is part of the routine.

Tips

• If new to retinol, start with two or three nights per week and build up frequency as skin gets used to the formula.
• Avoid layering with strong exfoliating acids or other high-strength retinoids on the same night to limit irritation.
• Patch test on the inner forearm or behind the ear before the first full-face application, particularly on reactive or sensitive skin.
• Always wear broad-spectrum SPF during the day while using retinol to protect newly resurfaced skin.
