Renewing serums support the skin's natural cell turnover to refine texture, smooth the surface and reveal fresher, more even-looking skin. This is where retinoids and exfoliating acids live.
Who they're for
Skin with rough or uneven texture, dullness, visible pores, congestion, post-breakout marks or sun damage, and anyone ready to build a consistent long-term routine.
Key ingredients to look for
Retinol, retinal (retinaldehyde) and other retinoids, plant-based alternatives such as bakuchiol, and exfoliating acids: glycolic, lactic and mandelic acid (AHA), salicylic acid (BHA) and gluconolactone (PHA).
How to use
Use in the evening. Start two or three times a week and increase gradually as your skin adapts. Avoid layering retinoids and strong acids on the same night, and wear SPF every morning.
Expert insight from Loshen & Crem
Retinoids were first developed to treat acne, not wrinkles. They work by regulating how skin cells renew and mature, which is why they improve so many concerns at once. Acids work differently: they loosen the bonds between dead cells at the surface. Both are powerful, and both reward patience more than strength.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between retinol and retinal? Both convert to retinoic acid in the skin. Retinal is one step closer, so it typically works faster at lower concentrations.
Can I use retinoids during pregnancy? Retinoids are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Ask your healthcare provider, and ask our team about gentler alternatives.

great cleanser. use it with VIP cream and others.
gentle and does the job!
i keep switching between all these BR creams because they all work great and my skin gets to try something diff every few months
the best!
super gentle
It’s my second jar, lasted me almost a year. Perfect for colder seasons, calms skin right away, locks in other creams. I use it overnight or if especially dry and irritated can do during the day or locally or irritated or dry areas.
I received a sample of this product, so I can't comment on its effectiveness as collagen, but it tastes good and was easy to drink. Since I only got one sachet, I can't speak to its long-term results.
Received this product as a free sample from L&C - thank you so much! Really enjoyed this product - could physically 'feel' it working its magic. Skin felt and looked amazing the next morning. Will look into buying full-sized product for sure.
Really beautiful product and a little goes a long way! Skin feels fantastic the next morning.
I purchased this specifically to use following a laser treatment and have been so impressed with it. The texture is smooth and silky and glides over the skin beautifully without feeling heavy. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and have been very happy with how comfortable it feels. This has quickly become one of my favourite sunscreens.
great
