Smooth Operator

€45,00
In Stock

Smooth Operator is a powerful yet skin-friendly night serum that visibly refines, firms and purifies the skin. With 0.3% pure, stabilized retinol and a thoughtful blend of soothing and hydrating ingredients, this serum is ideal for anyone looking to work on skin improvement the smart way. Fine lines, pigment spots, acne and dull skin are tackled without irritation, thanks to a slow-release, high-tolerance formula.

From the age of 25, the natural skin renewal slows down, with visible consequences: your skin becomes duller, fine lines remain longer, pigment spots increase and impurities can become more stubborn. Retinol (vitamin A) is one of the best-researched ingredients in dermatology, with a proven effect on several fronts.

Why do you need retinol?

Retinol stimulates cell renewal and increases the production of collagen and elastin. This makes the skin firmer, smoother and more even. Retinol also helps to reduce hyperpigmentation and prevents clogged pores and inflammation. It improves the overall skin texture, reduces fine lines and makes pores less visible. It is a true multitasker that tackles both aging and acne - making it a must-have in almost every skincare routine.

Why use in the evening?

Retinol makes the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. That's why it's best applied in the evening, followed by a moisturizer. During the day, it's essential to use a broad-spectrum SPF, such as Forever Young, to protect the skin from sun damage and maintain the effect of retinol.

What makes Smooth Operator special?

Sarasin Retinol serum Smooth Operator sweep

Instead of regular retinol, Smooth Operator contains 0.3% pure, stabilized retinol, encapsulated in cyclodextrin. This encapsulation technology ensures that the ingredient is released slowly and in a controlled manner into the skin. This maximizes its effectiveness and minimizes the chance of redness, flaking or a tight feeling.

In addition, the formula contains 1% alpha-bisabolol, a natural soothing ingredient from chamomile, which inhibits inflammatory reactions and soothes the skin. Jojoba oil supports the skin barrier, hydrates and comforts — without clogging pores. So you get the power of retinol, but with the comfort of a restorative serum.

Goed

Ik gebruik dit serum nu een paar weken en ben er heel tevreden over. Het pompje doseert handig en de textuur voelt aangenaam aan op de huid. Zoals aangegeven bouw ik het gebruik rustig op, ongeveer om de dag, in combinatie met mijn andere skincare. Mijn huid oogt frisser en verzorgder. De fijne lijntjes zijn nog niet volledig weg — maar dat had ik ook niet verwacht. Al bij al: een sterk product dat ik graag blijf gebruiken!

Effectief

Fijn serum, alleen jammer dat ik het niet s'ochtends én s'avonds kan gebruiken. Mijn huid ziet er gladder en steviger uit.

You can slow down skin aging by protecting your skin from the sun every day (with an SPF such as Forever Young), moisturizing regularly, and using products that stimulate collagen such as retinol (e.g., Smooth Operator). A healthy lifestyle with sufficient sleep, water, nutrition, and low stress levels also helps keep your skin radiant and firm.
