OSKIA Super R Retinoid Sleep Serum Capsules Level 2 — Maximum-Strength HPR Retinoid Serum for Visibly Firmer, Clearer Skin Overnight
Product Story
For skin that demands more from its retinoid routine, this level-two formulation delivers 0.5% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate — the EU cosmetic maximum — alongside a precision matrix of encapsulated Vitamin C, Co-Enzyme Q10, and Pro-Vitamin D3, all sealed in biodegradable, compostable seaweed capsules that preserve potency until the moment of application. The oil-soluble serum absorbs with remarkable swiftness and zero residual weight, making it fully compatible with layering beneath a night cream without compromise. Over time, skin emerges firmer, clearer, and more luminous — the result of direct retinoid-receptor activation working in concert with antioxidant and barrier-supporting co-actives.

How It Works
- WHAT IS HYDROXYPINACOLONE RETINOATE?
- Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (also known as HPR or Granactive Retinoid) is a 4th generation of retinoids - it is oil-soluble & quick absorbing. It is the only one, apart from Tretinion or Retinoid Acid, that does not need to go through any metabolic changes before it can be effective. It binds directly onto the retinoid receptors of the skin cells.
