ACM Duolys-A Retinol Serum 30ml — Gentle Anti-Ageing Retinol for Wrinkles and Skin Texture

Important: For PM (evening) use only. Use under dermatologist supervision. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF in the morning. Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Developed by French dermatological laboratory ACM, Duolys-A Retinol Serum is a clinically targeted anti-ageing serum combining retinol with tocopheryl retinoate in a minimalist 10-ingredient formula. Designed for those aged 30 and above, it addresses wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin texture, and blemishes with a lightweight oil-serum that absorbs rapidly without greasy residue.

What Makes Duolys-A Different?

Many retinol products cause irritation, peeling, or redness. Duolys-A addresses this by pairing retinol with tocopheryl retinoate — a gentler vitamin A ester — to deliver retinoid-level efficacy with a lower risk of sensitisation. The formula is further simplified to just 10 ingredients, minimising unnecessary additives that can trigger reactive skin.

Key Benefits

• Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Retinol stimulates skin renewal and collagen support to visibly smooth the appearance of ageing lines over time.
• Refined Skin Texture: Promotes a smoother, more even skin surface with consistent use.
• Gentler Retinol Experience: Tocopheryl retinoate provides retinoid activity with reduced irritation potential.
• Minimises Blemishes: Supports a clearer, more even-toned complexion.
• Nourishing Base: Jojoba oil and sunflower oil hydrate and support the skin barrier alongside the active retinol complex.
• Fast-Absorbing Texture: Lightweight oil-serum absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling silky and comfortable — not greasy.

Retinol Safety Guidelines

• For evening (PM) use only — retinol degrades in daylight and increases photosensitivity.
• Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every morning when using retinol products.
• Start slowly: 2–3 times per week initially, increasing frequency as your skin adapts.
• Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding — vitamin A derivatives are contraindicated.
• Use under dermatologist supervision, particularly if you are new to retinol or have sensitive skin.
• Avoid combining with other strong actives (AHAs, BHAs) in the same routine without professional guidance.

How to Use

1. Cleanse and pat skin dry in your evening routine.
2. Apply 2–3 drops to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
3. Begin with 2–3 applications per week; increase gradually as tolerance builds.
4. Follow with a nourishing moisturiser.
5. Every morning: apply broad-spectrum SPF — non-negotiable with retinol use.
