Single-dose retinol capsules for smoother, plumper-looking skin
Darphin Éclat Sublime Youth Retinol Concentrate is a retinol night concentrate in single-dose capsules for skin showing fine lines, wrinkles and an uneven texture. Each capsule holds a fresh dose of retinol in a nourishing blend of plant oils, including jojoba, macadamia, sesame, cranberry seed and argan, plus a vitamin C derivative. The capsule format protects the retinol from light and air until you use it. Darphin reports that 88% of women found their skin smoother after one night, with lines looking softer and skin plumper over time. The formula is 98% of natural origin.
The texture
A light, silky oil that spreads easily and absorbs without leaving the skin greasy. Each capsule twists open and holds just enough for the face. It has Darphin's light aromatic scent.
Who it suits
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Rough or uneven skin texture

Worth knowing before you buy: Retinol can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. Start every other night if you are new to retinol. The formula contains fragrance.
How long a box lasts
