The Smooth & Glow Anti-Aging Skincare Set

Skin longevity isn’t about "fixing" a problem — it’s about building a stronger foundation. Whether your skin is Black, Indian, Coloured or White, this set is built to give that firm, plump, glass-skin look year-round. It uses high-potency Granactive Retinoid and Ceramide NP to wake up your natural collagen and hold a deep, lasting glow — with the stability South African skin needs under intense UV.

• Gentle Honey & Oats Face Wash (200ml) — removes pollution and SPF without stripping.
• Barrier Repair Cream (30g) — Ceramide NP and Urea seal the moisture "leak".
• Active Glow Toner (50ml) — choose 5% Lactic Acid (dry skin) or 3% Glycolic Acid (oily skin).
• Anti-Aging Retinoid Firming Cream (30ml) — Granactive Retinoid to trigger collagen and smooth deep lines.
• Marula Oil (50ml) — the final seal that locks in your actives and protects.

• Granactive Retinoid (hydroxypinacolone retinoate) — as effective as tretinoin for smoothing lines and firming, but much gentler, so you skip the peeling and purging (study).
• Hyaluronic Acid and Urea — moisture magnets that plump fine lines.
• Ceramide NP and Niacinamide — reinforce the barrier so your glow doesn’t evaporate in dry air.
• Marula Oil and Ubiquinol (CoQ10) — seal and protect against environmental ageing.

Cleanse with the Honey & Oats wash, then follow a 3-night rotation to keep skin renewing without getting tired: Night 1 your Active Glow Toner, Night 2 the Retinoid Firming Cream, Night 3 a recovery night with just the Barrier Repair Cream. Seal with Marula Oil, and wear SPF 50 daily. Once a week, add the Glow Up Face Mask for a deeper reset.

Suitable for all South African skin tones wanting firmer, smoother, more even skin. Because it uses gentle Granactive Retinoid rather than harsh retinol, it suits sensitive skin too. Patch test on the neck 24 hours before first use. To keep your neck, décolletage and hands consistent, pair it with the Retinol Smoothing Body Cream.

• Includes: Honey & Oats Face Wash (200ml), Barrier Repair Cream (30g), Active Glow Toner (50ml, Lactic or Glycolic), Anti-Aging Retinoid Firming Cream (30ml), Marula Oil (50ml).

SPF 50 is non-negotiable — you cannot fade pigment while UV keeps hitting the skin. We don’t currently sell a sunscreen, so use your own broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily.

Patch test: apply a small amount to your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before wider use.

Is Granactive Retinoid as good as retinol?

Yes — research shows it smooths lines and firms as effectively as tretinoin, but it’s much gentler, so you avoid the peeling and redness of traditional retinol.

Which toner should I pick?

5% Lactic Acid for dry skin (more hydrating), or 3% Glycolic Acid for oily skin (more refining).

Why a rest night?

Skin builds collagen during recovery. Rotating in a rest night gives a lasting "forever glow" rather than a temporary, over-worked result.

Can sensitive skin use it?

Yes — that’s the point of Granactive Retinoid. Still, patch test on the neck first and introduce the retinoid cream gradually.
