Circadia Vitamin A Gel is a concentrated 1% retinol treatment designed to visibly rejuvenate ageing, sun-damaged and uneven skin. This lightweight gel delivers high-strength vitamin A to accelerate cell turnover, refine texture and diminish the look of pigmentation caused by UV exposure.

The potent formula helps rebuild compromised skin, support collagen formation and improve clarity over time. Ideal for those seeking targeted correction, this gel can also be used to condition and strengthen the skin prior to advanced procedures.

With consistent use, skin appears smoother, brighter and more resilient with a renewed, youthful radiance.

Benefits

  • Improves the appearance of blemishes (intended for limited use).
  • Conditions skin prior to surgery or in-clinic treatments.
  • Helps repair visible sun damage and uneven pigmentation.
  • Supports the rebuilding of ageing or compromised skin.

Key Ingredients

  • 1% Retinol: Speeds up cell turnover, refines texture and reduces visible sun damage and ageing.
  • Antioxidants: Help defend against free-radical damage and support skin repair.
  • Nourishing Hydrators: Maintain moisture balance and enhance tolerance to retinol.

Use only under supervision of a skin care professional. Note that each individual may metabolize Vitamin A differently. A period of acclimation to this strength of Vitamin A may be necessary.

Circadia

Circadia is a science-led professional skincare brand founded by Dr. Peter T. Pugliese, a pioneer in skin chronobiology. The line is built around the principle that the skin’s needs differ during day and night, and that treatment success depends on working with the body’s natural rhythms.

The range combines advanced peptide technology, innovative delivery systems, and botanicals to address ageing, pigmentation, acne and sensitive skin. In the clinic, Circadia protocols focus on repairing and protecting by day and stimulating repair at night, while its homecare extends professional results.

With an emphasis on education and ongoing research, Circadia partners with skin professionals worldwide to deliver evidence-based skincare that synchronises with the body for visible, long-lasting results.

Vitamin A / Retinol
What It Is

Vitamin A / Retinol plays a bunch of key roles in the body, and it’s essential when it comes to the health of your skin. It’s involved in the production of fresh, new cells, which keeps your skin both functioning and looking its best.

Vitamin A contains retinoids, compounds that come in many forms such as:

  • Retinol - Once in the middle layer of skin, retinol helps neutralise free radicals. This helps boost the production of elastin and collagen, which creates a “plumping” effect that can reduce the appearance of, fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores
  • Retinyl -This is the least irritating of all four retinoids, it's a great option for almost all skin types and anyone who wants to keep their pores clear and skin youthful. It promotes skin cell turnover, improves skin tone, helps unclog pores and helps thicken the dermis to slow down the formation of wrinkles.
  • Retinal - This is the only retinoid that exhibits direct antibacterial properties. This makes it perfect for those prone to blemishes. With continued use, it diminishes the bacteria responsible for breakouts to leave skin looking clear, radiant and youthful.
What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

We recommend them as part of a nightly skin care routine, when most people don’t mind adding an extra step or two. But it’s also fine to use Vitamin A / Retinol in the daytime, as long as you finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.

Don’t forget—when you apply your Vitamin A / Retinol product, be sure to include your neck and chest so you get those amazing benefits there, too.

Benefits

Retinoids can help exfoliate skin on the surface, removing dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from pores to prevent pimples. They also penetrate the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which can help reduce the appearance of pores and acne scarring.

Vitamin A / Retinol , works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.
