Can this cream be used on heavily keratinized skin?

Yes. Vitamin A Boosting Cream is specifically formulated for dull, rough, and heavily keratinized skin — conditions where normal cell turnover has slowed and dead skin cells have accumulated on the surface. The 1% Retinyl Acetate concentration accelerates desquamation and promotes the renewal of healthier, smoother skin texture.

Does this cream contain peanut oil?

Yes — Vitamin A Boosting Cream contains Arachis Hypogaea (Peanut) Oil. It is not recommended for those with peanut allergies. Consult your healthcare provider before use and perform a patch test prior to regular application.

How do I introduce Vitamin A Boosting Cream into my routine?

Begin with 3 nights per week to allow the skin to adapt and prevent flakiness. Gradually increase frequency toward nightly use as tolerated. Always use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ the morning after application — retinoids increase photosensitivity.

High-Strength Vitamin A Night Cream

Accelerates Cell Renewal. Repairs Sun Damage.
Smooths Rough and Heavily Keratinized Skin.

Circadia Vitamin A Boosting Cream is a professional-grade nighttime treatment formulated specifically for dull, rough, heavily keratinized, and sun-damaged skin — conditions where standard moisturizers fall short. At the heart of this formula is Retinyl Acetate 1% — a Vitamin A ester from the retinoid family that the skin converts progressively to retinaldehyde and then to retinoic acid, the biologically active form. This conversion supports DNA repair following UV exposure, collagen production, improved skin texture, and accelerated cell turnover that physically resurfaces dulled, thickened, and sun-damaged skin over time. The formula includes Moisture-Recruiting Retinoids — hydrophilic and lipophilic delivery components that help minimize the typical dryness and flaking associated with Vitamin A use, softening rough skin even as renewal accelerates. Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate and Tocopherol) provides dual antioxidant protection, shielding cellular membranes from free radical damage and supporting overall skin resilience during treatment. BHA and BHT provide additional antioxidant stabilization within the formula. The rich, fast-absorbing cream texture ensures deep nourishment is delivered overnight — when the skin's repair activity is at its peak — without heaviness or residue. Begin with three nights per week to prevent flakiness and gradually build toward nightly use. Important: always use SPF 30+ the morning after application. Contains Arachis Hypogaea (Peanut) Oil — not suitable for those with peanut allergies.

Key Actives

Vitamin A Science for Advanced Skin Renewal

Vitamin A Retinoid

Retinyl Acetate 1%

A Vitamin A ester that converts to retinaldehyde and retinoic acid in the skin. Acts as a free radical scavenger, supports DNA repair following UV exposure, promotes collagen production, improves texture, reduces signs of sun damage, and accelerates cell turnover for smoother, more radiant skin.

Retinoid Delivery System

Moisture-Recruiting Retinoids

Hydrophilic and lipophilic retinoid delivery components that help soften rough, dull skin while minimizing the flaking, dryness, and sensitivity that can accompany Vitamin A use — supporting skin comfort as cell turnover accelerates.

Dual Antioxidant

Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate + Tocopherol)

A two-form Vitamin E complex — Tocopheryl Acetate (ester, stable) and Tocopherol (free form, highly active). Together they protect cellular membranes from free radical damage and provide antioxidant support for skin resilience throughout the overnight repair process.

Benefits

What It Does

Cell Turnover

Retinyl Acetate 1% accelerates keratinocyte renewal — physically resurfacing rough, dull, and thickened skin to reveal smoother, more refined texture over consistent use.

Sun Damage Repair

Retinoids support DNA repair following UV exposure and promote collagen production — visibly reducing sun spots, uneven texture, and the structural damage caused by chronic sun exposure.

Radiance & Comfort

Moisture-Recruiting Retinoids minimize flakiness while dual Vitamin E antioxidants protect cellular membranes — delivering the renewal benefits of Vitamin A with greater skin comfort.

Directions

How to Use

Evening only. Begin 3 nights per week — increase gradually to nightly use. Always follow with SPF 30+ the next morning.

1

Cleanse

Cleanse thoroughly in the evening. Vitamin A Boosting Cream is most effective applied to clean, dry skin — wait a few minutes after cleansing if your skin tends toward sensitivity, to allow any post-cleanse moisture to fully evaporate.

2

Apply

Dispense a pea-sized amount onto fingertips and apply over the face and neck. Avoid contact with eyes. A small amount is sufficient — do not overapply.

3

Build Gradually + Always Use SPF

Start with 3 nights per week to prevent flakiness. Increase toward nightly use as your skin adapts. Always use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ the morning after application — retinoids significantly increase photosensitivity.
