✨ A retinol-powered nighttime face lotion from Christine Valmy's Valmarina line — built for normal-to-dry and dehydrated clients who need visible texture refinement and lasting hydration without a heavy feel.

🧪 Retinol works overnight in its most stable environment, supporting smoother skin and softer fine lines by morning. Green Tea extract and Vitamin E deliver a complementary antioxidant layer — polyphenol-rich protection against environmental stressors, reinforced by Cocoa Seed Extract's blue light defense for clients with high screen exposure. A calming botanical complex of St. John's Wort, Comfrey Root, and Lavender works alongside Allantoin to soothe reactive or post-treatment skin, making this a natural fit after hydrating facials or mild peel protocols.

Paraben-free and plant-rich, it retails easily alongside esthetic services — the blue light and overnight hydration story lands well with desk-worker clients.

A strong retail add-on for esthetic practices serving dehydrated or screen-heavy clients who are ready for a retinol-based overnight routine.

• Overnight Fine Line Reduction: Retinol, working during the extended overnight contact window, helps visibly smooth skin texture and soften the appearance of fine lines by morning — the nighttime leave-on format maximizes its stability and absorption.
• Environmental Antioxidant Defense: Green Tea extract and Vitamin E (Tocopherol) deliver a dual-layer antioxidant defense — polyphenols from Green Tea neutralize water-phase oxidative stress while Tocopherol addresses lipid-phase free radicals — helping protect the skin's appearance from environmental stressors including post-outdoor exposure.
• Blue Light Defense: Cocoa Seed Extract contributes flavonoid-rich antioxidant activity that helps defend the skin's appearance against stress from blue light exposure, distinguishing this formula for clients who experience significant screen or artificial light exposure.
• Soothing Comfort for Sensitized Skin: The calming botanical complex — St. John's Wort, Comfrey Root, and Lavender — works together with Allantoin to visibly reduce the appearance of redness and discomfort in dehydrated or reactive skin, making the formula particularly effective after outdoor or environmental stress.
• Deep Overnight Hydration: A plant-rich emulsion base — including Grape Seed Oil, Tucuma Seed Butter, Propanediol, and Aloe Vera extract — delivers lasting moisture replenishment during sleep, leaving skin with a visibly plump, silky feel by morning.
• Improved Skin Texture: The combined action of Retinol and Allantoin helps visibly refine the skin's surface texture with consistent overnight use, supporting a smoother appearance that clients with dehydrated or uneven skin will notice.

Retinol: The gold-standard vitamin A active in cosmetic skincare, Retinol works overnight on the skin's surface to help visibly smooth texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines — its photolabile nature makes a nighttime leave-on formula the ideal delivery context.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract - known as Green Tea Extract: A polyphenol-rich botanical antioxidant, Green Tea extract helps neutralize the appearance effects of oxidative stress from environmental sources, supporting the formula's core positioning for use after outdoor exposure.

Tocopherol - known as Vitamin E: The free, most bioavailable form of Vitamin E, Tocopherol acts as both a potent lipid-soluble antioxidant in the formula and a skin-conditioning agent, complementing Green Tea's polyphenolic antioxidant activity with a lipophilic protective layer.

Theobroma Cacao Seed Extract - known as Cocoa Seed Extract: A polyphenol- and flavonoid-rich extract, Cocoa Seed Extract is positioned in this formula as a defense against visible-spectrum light stress, including blue light — reflecting emerging research into chocolate-derived actives as broad-spectrum antioxidant shields for the skin's appearance.

Allantoin: A well-established skin-conditioning active, Allantoin is known for its ability to help soothe the appearance of sensitized skin and support a smoother surface texture — complementing the botanical soothing system and the formula's anti-texture claim.

Hypericum Perforatum Extract / Symphytum Officinale Root Extract / Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Extract — Calming Botanical Complex: Three botanicals — St. John's Wort, Comfrey Root, and Lavender — work together as the formula's calming complex, each contributing recognized skin-soothing properties to help reduce the appearance of redness and sensitivity, especially relevant for dehydrated or post-exposure skin.

1. Ensure the client's face, neck, and décolleté are thoroughly cleansed and free of makeup or residue before application.
2. Dispense a small amount of the lotion onto clean fingertips.
3. Begin application at the neck, massaging the product into the skin using light circular movements.
4. Continue upward across the face, working toward the forehead.
5. For the eye area, apply using gentle strokes moving from the outer corners inward toward the inner corners — avoid direct contact with the eye.
6. Allow the lotion to absorb fully; do not rinse. The product is designed for overnight leave-on wear.

Esthetician retail and service notes

This product's retinol content makes it most effective with consistent nightly use; advise clients to introduce it gradually (every other night initially) if they are new to retinol to minimize surface sensitivity. The formula's natural preservation system (glyceryl ester blend) is effective but sensitive to contamination — counsel clients to use clean hands or a spatula rather than fingers directly in the jar, and to keep the lid tightly closed. This is a strong retail conversion moment after hydrating facials or post-peel aftercare: the blue light and overnight hydration story resonates well with desk-worker and screen-heavy client segments.
