Ursa Major Lunar Bloom Retinal Serum
A light-as-air nighttime serum for your most youthful, luminous skin yet. Powered by Retinal — a skin-supercharging Vitamin A derivative — plus micronutrient-rich forest actives and night-blooming flowers. Lunar Bloom Retinal Serum is a potent yet gentle ritual for evening out skin texture and smoothing the appearance of fine lines.
What’s Retinal?
Short for retinaldehyde, Retinal is a form of Vitamin A. It helps rewind the look of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting renewal and boosting collagen.
Super potent, surprisingly gentle
Retinal is 20x more potent than Retinol. That’s why Ursa Major uses it! It’s super-effective in small doses, which means the formula taps into its full superpowers without setting off your skin. A tiny amount of potent Retinal is much easier on your skin than a larger amount of traditional Retinol — because your skin can’t absorb all that Retinol, and what's not absorbed can sit on skin and potentially cause unwanted side effects. The formula also contains barrier-loving ingredients like plant-derived ceramides and hyaluronic acid to soothe even the most sensitive skin types.
Pure, powerful ingredients
Formulated without petrochemicals, sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrances or other suspect chemicals. This serum is cruelty-free, vegan and certified plastic-negative.
How to use
As part of your nightly ritual, apply 1-2 pumps of Lunar Bloom Retinal Serum before your moisturizer of choice. Start out slowly (3 times a week) to allow your skin to acclimate, before building up to nightly use. If you’re worried about how extra-sensitive skin might react, you can build a Retinal sandwich — AKA apply a layer of moisturizer both before and after your serum — when starting out.
Non-negotiable: pair this nighttime serum with a daytime SPF, as retinoids can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun.
Note: This product is not recommended for those who are pregnant, nursing or attempting to conceive.
Already loving the other Ursa Major serums in your routine? Ursa Major suggests using Vitamin C in the morning and either layering Mountain Glow over Lunar Bloom at night, or alternating every other night between the two serums.
