Rei Gentle Retinol Cream Fortified with Reishi

Rei Gentle Retinol Cream Fortified with Reishi

  • VITAMIN A |
  • BOOSTS COLLAGEN |
  • SKIN RENEWAL |
  • This barrier-supportive serum gently encourages cell turnover, helping to smooth texture, soften fine lines, and brighten uneven tone. Designed for most skin types it provides a more balanced approach to retinol, combining proven results with comfort and hydration.

    Why It Works:
    Rei blends retinol with skin-conditioning ingredients to minimise irritation and support barrier integrity. Beta-glucan from reishi mushroom hydrates and strengthens, while red seaweed delivers trace minerals and proteins to nourish and clarify. Propolis offers natural antibacterial properties to soothe inflammation, making this an ideal choice for those new to retinol or seeking a more reparative formulation.

    Why You'll Love It:
    Rei reflects Monastery’s commitment to formulating using potent, skin-compatible ingredients that respect and enhance the skin’s natural functions. Rei offers a balanced approach to retinol therapy, providing desired aging benefits alongside hydration and barrier support.

    Please note: Retinol should always be introduced gradually, even if you’ve used it before. Start with one or two nights a week and build up slowly to allow your skin time to adjust. Avoid use if pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive.
