✨ CIRCADIA Nighttime Repair Retinol Cream is an overnight leave-on treatment for mature, damaged, or dull skin — built around a stable Vitamin A ester that works while clients sleep, without the barrier disruption of pure retinol.

🧪 The formula earns its place in anti-aging retail through layered actives: Retinyl Acetate converts gradually to its active form during overnight contact, progressively refining texture and reducing the visible appearance of fine lines. The SK-Influx® ceramide complex mirrors the skin's own lipid structure to visibly restore barrier integrity — critical for post-peel or treatment-stressed skin. Niacinamide and the TECA Centella Asiatica triterpenoid complex add visible tone-evening and firming support, while the Synchrolife™ botanical-peptide complex addresses the fatigued, puffy appearance that aging and environmental stress leave behind.

For estheticians, this positions cleanly as a professional home-care close after enzyme or mild peel services, extending results overnight and giving clients a tangible continuation of the facial.

A natural retail recommendation for clients managing visible aging, barrier fatigue, or post-treatment recovery.

• Visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles: Retinyl Acetate, a stable vitamin A ester, converts to its active form during overnight contact, progressively improving the visible appearance of fine lines and surface texture with continued use. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 provides complementary support by targeting the appearance of deeper wrinkles.
• Strengthens and visibly restores the skin barrier: The SK-Influx® ceramide complex (Ceramide NP, AP, EOP, Phytosphingosine, and Cholesterol) mirrors the skin's natural lamellar lipid structure, helping to restore the appearance of a healthy, resilient skin surface and reduce visible signs of a compromised barrier such as dryness and rough texture.
• Improves the appearance of skin firmness and elasticity: The TECA Centella Asiatica triterpenoid complex (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid) and Niacinamide work together to visibly improve the skin's firmness and reduce the appearance of loss of elasticity — benefits particularly relevant for mature and sun-damaged skin profiles.
• Evens skin tone and visibly reduces dullness: Niacinamide, positioned at a meaningful concentration in the formula, helps reduce the visible appearance of uneven tone and dullness. This benefit is reinforced by Retinyl Acetate's gradual improvement of skin texture and surface radiance over time.
• Reduces the visible appearance of puffiness and skin fatigue: The Synchrolife™ complex — Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, and Chrysin — helps visibly minimize the appearance of puffiness, dark circles under the eyes, and the fatigued look associated with environmental stressors and disrupted sleep patterns.
• Overnight antioxidant protection for a refreshed appearance: The combination of Niacinamide, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract, and Chrysin delivers antioxidant activity during overnight wear, helping to protect the skin surface from oxidative stress and support a visibly refreshed appearance by morning.

Retinyl Acetate - known as Vitamin A Ester (Retinyl Acetate): A stable ester form of vitamin A that penetrates the skin and converts to its active form over time. In an overnight leave-on cream, this conversion process can proceed fully, making Retinyl Acetate an effective and gentler alternative to pure retinol — particularly appropriate for clients new to vitamin A or with sensitized skin. With continued use, it visibly improves skin texture, helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promotes a more even, renewed-looking complexion.

Ceramide NP / Ceramide AP / Ceramide EOP / Phytosphingosine / Cholesterol — Ceramide Barrier Complex (SK-Influx®): A five-component lipid system that mirrors the skin's own lamellar barrier structure, comprising three ceramide types (NP, AP, EOP), Phytosphingosine (a ceramide precursor and sphingoid base), and Cholesterol. Together, these lipids intercalate into the skin's intercellular matrix, helping to visibly restore barrier integrity, reduce moisture loss, and support a smoother, plumper surface feel. This system is particularly relevant for aged, sensitized, or treatment-stressed skin where the natural lipid barrier is depleted.

Asiaticoside / Madecassic Acid / Asiatic Acid — TECA Centella Asiatica Triterpenoid Complex: Three purified triterpenoid actives derived from Centella Asiatica (Madecassoside is the glucoside of Madecassic Acid; Asiaticoside is the glucoside of Asiatic Acid), present together as the TECA (Titrated Extract of Centella Asiatica) complex. Each triterpenoid contributes to visibly firming and improving the resilience of the skin's surface. The combination helps reduce the visible appearance of fine lines and supports a more even, toned-looking complexion with continued overnight use.

Niacinamide: A water-soluble form of vitamin B3 positioned high in the formula, indicating a meaningful working concentration. Niacinamide is a well-substantiated multifunctional active that helps visibly reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and dullness, while supporting the skin's surface barrier alongside the ceramide system. Its inclusion at this position makes it a significant differentiating active in the formula's overall skin-quality improvement story.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract / Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 / Chrysin — Synchrolife™ Botanical-Peptide Complex: A three-component complex branded as Synchrolife™, combining Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract — a source of antioxidant polyphenols — with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, a tetrapeptide known for its role in visibly improving skin firmness and tone, and Chrysin, a plant-derived flavonoid with antioxidant properties. Together, this system helps visibly minimize the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, and signs of skin fatigue, making it particularly relevant for the overnight recovery positioning of this cream.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38: A lipopeptide composed of a palmitic acid chain linked to a tripeptide signal sequence. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 is a biotech-derived active known for its role in visibly improving the appearance of deep-set wrinkles and skin volume by targeting the multiple proteins that make up the extracellular matrix surface. Engineered to function at very low concentrations, it contributes a targeted wrinkle-appearance benefit that complements the broader skin-renewal action of Retinyl Acetate.

Pro tips for anti-aging services

For clients new to vitamin A, introduce this cream two to three evenings per week, then increase frequency as tolerance builds — Retinyl Acetate is gentler than pure retinol, but establishing tolerance protects the client's barrier and reduces risk of flaking or sensitivity in subsequent salon visits.

This cream pairs well as a professional home-care retail recommendation following barrier-focused facial services (such as enzyme or mild peel treatments), where the ceramide complex and Retinyl Acetate together support visible recovery and continue the service's results at home. Use the retail conversation at the end of the service to position the overnight format as the client's 'treatment while sleeping.'
