Anyone who wants softer, smoother, more refreshed-looking skin while they sleep. This renewing duo pairs Lunar Bloom Retinal Serum with Forest Alchemy Eye Cream to smooth the look of fine lines and improve skin texture, from the hardworking perioral area to the delicate skin around the eyes. It's a great fit if you're new to retinoids and want a gentle place to start, or if you already love one of these formulas and want its other half.

Think of it as your night shift:

• Cleanse (and tone, if that's part of your routine).
• Apply Lunar Bloom Retinal Serum to your face and neck, keeping it away from the eye area. Let it soak in for a minute.
• Take a small amount of Forest Alchemy Eye Cream and warm it between your ring fingers, then gently tap it along your orbital bone (the bony ridge around your eye).
• Finish with your favorite moisturizer. Golden Hour Recovery Cream is a dreamy match.

New to retinoids? Start with Lunar Bloom 2–3 nights a week and build up to nightly as your skin gets comfortable. Since retinoids can make skin more sensitive to the sun, always follow up with SPF in the morning.

We hear from lots of sensitive-skin folks who love this pair! Lunar Bloom pairs potent Retinal with barrier-loving plant ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid to keep things gentle. Forest Alchemy is free of synthetic fragrance and parabens that tend to irritate the eye area. That said, everyone's skin is unique, so we always recommend a patch test first. 

If you're extra sensitive, try a "retinal sandwich": apply a thin layer of moisturizer before and after your serum while your skin adjusts.

We didn't design Lunar Bloom for the eye area, which is exactly why we paired it with Forest Alchemy Eye Cream. It's made for that delicate skin and targets the look of fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness.

That's how it's meant to be! Forest Alchemy is ultra-rich, almost like a balm. We like to warm a small amount (a little goes a long way) between your fingertips until it melts, then gently tap it in.

Both are forms of vitamin A, but Retinal (retinaldehyde) is one step closer to the form your skin actually uses. Lunar Bloom contains 0.1% retinaldehyde, potent enough to smooth the look of fine lines and texture, while staying gentle enough for nightly use.

Lunar Bloom Retinal Serum is not recommended for those who are pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive, as retinoids are usually avoided during that time. 

Forest Alchemy Eye Cream doesn't contain ingredients commonly avoided during these stages, so it's a lovely solo pick! As always, check in with your healthcare provider about what's right for you.

Nope! Both formulas are unscented, with no synthetic fragrance or aromatic essential oils.
