Melumé Skinscience 
Skinsational Retinol Oil

This skinsational retinol oil can do it all. It contains 12 regenerating and nourishing botanical oils that help lock in moisture and provide a valuable source of skin-rebuilding ingredients, including triglycerides and several fatty acids (oleic acid, linoleic acid), along with other actives such as antioxidants vitamin E and B as well as vitamin A. These contribute to smoother, more supple skin without leaving a greasy residue. Just a few drops of this retinol oil deliver an instantly healthy, plump glow and fast results.

The included 2% granactive retinoid accelerates skin cell renewal, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, and improves skin tone, elasticity, and firmness. It belongs to the next generation of retinoids and is a highly effective retinyl ester with retinol-level performance but less irritation. Upon absorption, it is converted into retinol and retinoic acid, which skin cells can metabolize immediately without sensitization.

5% vitamin C (THD) stimulates collagen production, reduces lines, wrinkles, and skin sagging, and at the same time brightens hyperpigmentation and uneven skin by inhibiting melanogenesis (pigment production).

Additionally, bakuchiol provides retinol-like effects without irritation. And like all Melumé products, this retinol oil also contains the GMOD™ complex for 360° skin rejuvenation.

Key ingredients:
- 2% Granactive Retinoid: Hydroxypinacolone retinoate is a highly effective retinyl ester with retinol-like performance, excellent stability, and less sensitization. Granactive retinoid belongs to the next generation of retinoids and is sometimes referred to as hydroxypinacolone retinoate or HPR. It is gentler than retinol because it is combined with a delivery solution that improves absorption and tolerability. Even at higher concentrations, it is unlikely to cause irritation or redness. Unlike other retinoid types, granactive retinoid is a synthetic retinoic acid ester. After absorption, it is converted into both retinol and retinoic acid, meaning it does not have to wait for retinol conversion and can be metabolized immediately by skin cells. This allows you to experience skin-perfecting benefits much faster.
- 5% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD): A high dose of oil-soluble, very stable vitamin C ester that is absorbed faster and penetrates deeper into the skin because its fatty acids have a greater affinity to the skin. There, it works together with vitamin E (tocopherol), which naturally occurs in the skin, to specifically target the deeper skin-support system via a different pathway than water-soluble ascorbic acid. A powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and balances UV-related damage. It effectively brightens dull, uneven skin by inhibiting melanogenesis (pigment production) and reducing stubborn dark spots, discoloration, and post-acne hyperpigmentation. It repairs UV damage, has anti-inflammatory effects in acne-prone skin, and visibly improves enlarged pores and texture.
- Bakuchiol: A vegan active derived from the leaves and seeds of the Psoralea Corylifolia plant. It is a powerful antioxidant and a natural alternative to retinol; it visibly fades pigmentation from environmental damage and post-acne marks while having a regenerating and soothing effect on the skin. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its anti-irritant properties help calm and minimize sensitivity and reactivity.
- GMOD™ Complex: Helps hydrate both the surface and deeper skin layers, increasing resilience and suppleness. Stimulates the neo-synthesis of hyaluronic acid and supports its turnover. Improves elasticity, firmness, and the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of skin aging. Offers a complete 360° rejuvenation by increasing youth protein levels and provides multidimensional protection against photoaging while detoxifying cells.
- Vitamin E: Improves skin health and hydration and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Naturally present in human skin, it is a powerful natural antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals and protecting against photoaging. Topically, it has wrinkle-smoothing, softening properties and can penetrate the skin to provide long-lasting moisture. It also strengthens the skin's moisture barrier—a key element for smooth, healthy-looking skin. It boosts the skin's ability to retain water and effectively prevents dehydration. By reducing transepidermal water loss, vitamin E also helps maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
- Vitamin F: Plant-based omega-3 polyglycerides that deeply moisturize and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Apply a few drops and massage into the skin of the face, neck, and décolleté. Apply the oil after serum. Use in the evening. Use in the morning only if you are an advanced retinol user. Slowly build up to daily use.

Initially use 1–2 times per week. Depending on skin tolerance, use every two to three days, then gradually increase to daily.

Pro tip: For an extra nourishing retinol boost, mix a few drops with your favorite moisturizer.

This product may cause photosensitivity. Always use high SPF protection during the day.

The formula’s color may change slightly over time due to the high retinol content.

Important: If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Avoid the eye area. Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Store in a cool, dry, dark place.
