We’ve talked about retinol, its many anti-ageing benefits, the best retinol tips for sensitive skin, why you should use retinol, and the ingredients it’s best paired with, but when it comes to the best retinol products it can be hard to know where to start, or which retinol products you can trust because not all retinol products are created equal and using a retinol serum or cream that is too potent for your skin can, unfortunately, do more damage than good. We are talking dryness, redness, peeling and increased sensitivity!
Well, what if I was to tell you there is a retinol line that is far superior to other lines on the market, a line that is ideal for all skin types and offers a unique approach that maximizes the benefits of retinol while minimizing potential drawbacks? Introducing Pevonia’s Micro Retinol line!
The science behind Micro-Retinol
Traditional retinol products often face challenges with stability and absorption because the retinol molecules can be large and unstable, making them harder to penetrate the skin deeply and more likely to cause surface irritation. Pevonia’s Micro Retinol line, however, addresses these issues through its exclusive Micro-Retinol technology, which involves micronizing (breaking down) retinol molecules into smaller, more refined micro-particles. This process enhances the stability of retinol (ensuring the retinol remains effective over time) and ensures optimal delivery into the skin, allowing for deeper penetration and more effective results without skin irritation! Amazing right?
The Pevonia Micro Retinol line
Every Micro Retinol product contains a powerhouse trio of vitamin C, vitamin E, and Micro-Retinol® The addition of vitamins C and E not only ensures Micro-Retinol®’s stability, but also that the skin’s nutrients and density are renewed and preserved. What’s more Pevonia’s Micro Retinol products contain all-natural retinol sourced from green leafy vegetables!
There are 4 products in the line that work synergistically for optimal results and provide a complete anti-ageing skincare routine! These include:
Micro-Retinol Essential Foaming Cleanser
This gentle, yet powerhouse sulfate-free cleanser combines Micro-Retinol with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin, leaving it bright and refreshed.

An alcohol-free toner enriched with Micro-Retinol actives, Aloe, Chamomile, Green Tea, Vitamins C and E, and Hyaluronic Acid. It balances, soothes and prepares the skin for the serum and moisturiser!
This potent anti-ageing serum that delivers concentrated Micro-Retinol, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C deep into the skin to boost collagen production and accelerate cell turnover, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

“I have only started using the Micro Retinol Moisturiser recently and could already see the improvements in my skin, feels smooth and radiant.” – Jay
“The Micro Retinol Moisturiser is the most beautiful cream I have ever used; light texture, non greasy, non shiny. Changes in my skin are an increased smoothing of lines and crepe-skin areas, softening, hydrating and contouring and reduced pigmentation. Some results were instantly visible and now after three weeks my skin just keeps improving. I am 60 and have tried this after other brands became ineffective. Now my skin appears luminous and more refined. It’s a surprise to see a brighter, smoother complexion at my age.” - Annie
“I've been using other Pevonia products for about a year now but decided to try the Micro Retinol Serum to bump things up a bit. I saw almost instant results! Coarse lines, especially around my mouth have quite literally disappeared. Same thing for smile lines and crow’s feet. My 60 year old skin feels as smooth, soft, and healthy as when I was....well, I can't even remember when my skin was this glowing. I am anxiously waiting for my order of Micro Retinol Moisturizer to arrive now. This product delivers great results and is totally worth the price.” – Julie M

Essential tips on how to introduce retinol into your routine
- Introduce the product slowly – apply it only at night, one or two times a week for the first week and gradually increase application.
- Retinols are best applied at night, particularly because it makes your skin more photosensitive.
- Ensure you wear sunscreen during the day when using retinol (you should be wearing sunscreen everyday whatever the reason though!)
- Allow the product to fully absorb into the skin (this could take up to 30 minutes) before layering any other products.
- Just make sure to use any acne-fighting products (i.e. anything that includes benzoyl peroxides or salicylic acid) on the nights you don’t use your retinol product.
- Give the product time to work its magic. This could take a few months but the results WILL be worth it. We promise!
- Prepare for the inevitable adjustment period your skin will go through before you see the results you want.
- Because retinol causes the skin to shed cells faster than normal, you’ll likely experience a few weeks of change to your skin including some flakiness and dryness.
- Retinol is NOT recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
