Stratia Night Shift Retinol Cream: Clearer, bouncier, more youthful-looking skin while you sleep, and our favorite first step into retinol for acne-prone and sensitive skin. Night Shift pairs 0.15% encapsulated retinol, which releases gradually for gentle, effective results, with a calming blend of ceramides, cica, and panthenol to keep skin comfortable and the barrier strong. It helps clear congestion, smooths fine lines, fades dark spots and post-breakout marks, and refines texture, while squalane and marula oils deliver deep, non-greasy moisture. Vegan, cruelty-free, and free of fragrance, alcohol, and essential oils.
Best for: acne-prone, sensitive, or reactive skin, and anyone new to retinol. Suitable for all skin types, from very dry to very oily.
How to Use: Apply at night. New to retinol? Start a few nights a week and build up gradually. Follow with daily SPF in the morning. Not for use during pregnancy or nursing, with prescription acne medication, or around waxing, peels, or resurfacing treatments.
The Retinol Breakdown
Retinoids are the gold standard for smoothing lines, refining texture, and fading dark spots. Here's how ours line up, from gentlest to most intensive:
HydroPeptide Power Luxe (Bakuchiol): a gentle, plant-based retinol alternative in a rich cream. Can be used morning and night. A popular choice for those avoiding retinol during pregnancy or nursing. Check with your doctor first.
Stratia Night Shift (0.15% Retinol): an easy first step into true retinol, cushioned with ceramides and cica. Fragrance-free and the ideal place for acne-prone skin to start.
HydroPeptide Micro-Dose Glow Booster (0.25% Tri-Retinol): a flexible serum you can wear alone or mix into your moisturizer to customize your dose.
HydroPeptide Collagen ReActivate PM (0.25% Retinol): our most complete retinol treatment, with collagen-supporting NIMNI™ Technology in a luxurious night cream.
