Pacifica Retinol Serum for Face - Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Night Face Serum - Anti-Aging Skin Care & Skin Brightening - Retinol, Collagen

Brand: Pacifica

Turn back the clock overnight with Pacifica’s Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Serum-a transformative nighttime serum designed to give you fresher, smoother, more youthful-looking skin by morning. This luxurious, lightweight formula combines Granactive Retinoid (a gentler, highly effective retinoid alternative) with soothing natural ingredients like mushrooms, quinoa, and melatonin. If traditional retinol has been too harsh, this clean, vegan-friendly serum is your perfect overnight solution, delivering visible anti-aging results without irritation.Powerful Granactive Retinoid: Featuring Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, this serum directly binds to skin receptors to smooth wrinkles, refine pores, and fade discoloration, with significantly less irritation than traditional retinol. This next-generation retinoid encourages collagen production, visibly softening crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other wrinkles. Users also report improved skin firmness and a noticeable reduction in dark spots and post-acne marks over time, resulting in a brighter, even-toned complexion.Overnight Repair with Melatonin & Quinoa: Wake Up Beautiful leverages your skin’s natural overnight repair cycle, enhancing it with melatonin-a potent antioxidant that combats nighttime oxidative stress. Alongside melatonin, nutrient-rich quinoa extract provides essential amino acids and gentle enzymes to help promote smoother texture and enhance skin's resilience. Together, these ingredients help your skin maximize its rejuvenation process, ensuring you wake up looking refreshed and revitalized.Hydrating Mushroom Blend for Comfort: To keep skin calm and hydrated, especially important when using retinoids, we’ve infused this serum with adaptogenic mushroom extracts-reishi, shiitake, and snow mushroom. Rich in beta-glucans, these mushrooms provide intense hydration and soothing benefits, preventing the dryness often associated with retinol treatments. With added aloe vera and calendula, the serum gently supports sensitive skin, reducing redness and irritation for comfortable, balanced results.Targets Multiple Signs of Aging: This multitasking serum addresses a wide range of skin concerns-from fine lines and wrinkles to uneven texture and enlarged pores. The gentle exfoliating action of the retinoid and quinoa enzymes smooths rough patches and refines skin texture. Added niacinamide helps further diminish the look of pores and evens skin tone, enhancing overall clarity and brightness. Regular use leads to visibly improved skin quality, firmness, and a noticeably clearer complexion.Clean, Vegan & Gentle Formula: Pacifica ensures Wake Up Beautiful Serum aligns with clean beauty values: petroleum-free, silicone-free, and formulated without parabens or harmful preservatives. Instead, it’s enriched with nourishing sunflower seed oil and jojoba oil, delivering hydration without clogging pores. The subtle, naturally derived scent (free from artificial fragrances) makes application pleasant. Simply apply a few drops nightly after cleansing, and follow with moisturizer if desired. Remember to use SPF daily, as retinoids can increase sun sensitivity.Elevate your nighttime routine with Pacifica’s Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Serum. Let this gentle yet powerful blend work overnight, leaving you with radiant, youthful-looking skin each morning.

• Next-Generation Retinoid (Granactive Retinoid): Features a highly effective yet gentle Granactive Retinoid (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate) known for delivering retinol results with less irritation. This advanced retinoid directly binds to retinoid receptors in skin to boost collagen production and accelerate cell turnover, helping to smooth fine lines, fade hyperpigmentation, and improve elasticity. Wake Up Beautiful Serum gives you the anti-wrinkle power of a retinol treatment - fine lines and pores appear reduced, skin firmness improves - all while being kinder to skin
• Overnight Cell Renewal: Designed as a PM serum, it works synergistically with your skin’s nighttime repair cycle. A dose of topical melatonin acts as a supercharged antioxidant, fighting free radicals and signaling skin to repair itself. Quinoa extract provides amino acids that support skin regeneration, and natural fruit acids (from floral extracts) gently resurface dead cells. You literally “wake up beautiful” - skin looks more refreshed, with improved texture and a glow by morning, as noted by users who saw a overnight brightness and plumpness.
• FREE OF HARSH CHEMICALS Clean, Vegan Night Treatment: Pacifica’s formula is free of petroleum, parabens, phthalates, or silicones - it uses a petroleum-free retinoid and naturally derived ingredients. It’s 100% vegan and cruelty-free. The serum is fragrance-free (no added perfume, just a mild natural earthy scent from mushrooms). Unlike some harsh prescription retinol products, this one is buffered with nourishing oils (sunflower, jojoba) and extracts, making it suitable for most skin types, even those that previously couldn’t tolerate retinol.
• Hydrating & Calming with Mushrooms: Unlike many retinol products that can dry or irritate, this serum is enriched with mushroom extracts (reishi, shiitake, and adaptogenic mushrooms) that deliver hydration and soothe the skin. Mushrooms are high in beta-glucans which are excellent humectants, so they help keep skin moisturized and calm redness while the retinoid works. Also includes allantoin and bisabolol (from chamomile) for extra calming. This means you get the benefits of retinol without the typical flakiness - a huge plus noted by reviewers.
• Targets Wrinkles, Pores & Dark Spots: This multi-tasking serum addresses the key signs of aging and congested skin. Retinoid and melatonin together help boost collagen and skin thickness (smoothing wrinkles and fine lines). Niacinamide (vitamin B3) in the formula further supports pore refinement and uneven tone correction (it’s a hidden hero, reducing oil and blotchiness). Many users reported improvement in stubborn acne scars and a reduction in breakouts, since retinoids also help keep pores clear. In short, this serum refines and retexturizes for a more youthful, even complexion.
