Raeso Yellow Moonbeam Retinal Elixir

Next-Generation Vitamin A Serum with 5% Niacinamide

The Raeso Yellow Moonbeam Retinal Elixir is a  powerful evening serum fuses next-gen Retinal with Bakuchiol and Niacinamide to accelerate cellular renewal, smooth fine lines, and refine pores. Enriched with antioxidant-rich New Zealand Botanicals, it works overnight to reveal luminous, youthful-looking skin by morning.

Formulated to mirror the skin’s natural structure, ceramides help rebuild and fortify the barrier while fermented minerals and chebula deliver potent antioxidant protection. Hyaluronic Acid and Antarctic Marine Algae provide multi-level hydration, while Mānuka Honey MGO 850+, Alpine Rosehip, and Avocado Oil lock in lasting moisture for a plump, revitalised complexion.

Ideal for those targeting signs of ageing or managing acne-prone skin. Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as it contributes to daily vitamin A intake.

Lightly scented with a 100% plant-based, organic, COSMOS-certified natural fragrance.
