Glow Recipe Gentle Blackberry Retinol Serum 30ml — Triple Retinoids, Hydrating Night Serum for Sensitive Skin

Glow Recipe Gentle Blackberry Retinol Serum is a night serum that combines a low-dose triple-retinoid complex with soothing blackberry extract and glycerin to clarify blemishes, smooth texture, and support sensitive skin tolerance.

This lightweight 30ml serum from Glow Recipe is formulated to introduce retinoids gradually while minimizing irritation. It pairs retinol, retinal and retinyl ester at a combined 0.16% with blackberry extract to help skin recover and glycerin to maintain hydration. The result is a gentler approach to resurfacing and blemish control that fits into a Korean-inspired, fruit-forward skincare routine.

What does the triple-retinoid formula do for skin?

The blend of retinol, retinal and retinyl ester offers layered activity: faster-acting retinal for visible renewal, retinol for steady improvement, and retinyl ester for a milder, stabilizing effect. Together they aim to refine texture and reduce clogged pores with lower irritation risk than high-dose single-retinoid serums.

• 0.16% total triple-retinoid concentration for balanced performance
• Targets texture irregularities, congestion, and early signs of aging
• Designed to be effective without overstimulating sensitive skin

How should I introduce this retinol serum into my routine?

Start slowly: apply a thin layer to face and neck every other night after cleansing, then follow with a moisturizer. As your skin builds tolerance, increase frequency toward nightly use. Always use sunscreen during the day when using retinoids.

• Begin every other night, progressing to nightly as tolerated
• Apply a moisturizing layer after the serum to support barrier recovery
• Use broad-spectrum SPF each morning to protect renewed skin

Will this serum work if I have sensitive or blemish-prone skin?

Glow Recipe formulated this serum to reduce sensitivity risk by combining lower retinoid strength with calming, fruit-derived blackberry extract and humectant glycerin. That combination helps soothe and hydrate while addressing breakouts and texture.

• Blackberry extract supports the skin’s repair mechanisms
• Glycerin provides hydration to reduce dryness and flaking
• Approachable concentration for people new to retinoids or with reactive skin

How will this fit with other skincare products I use?

The serum layers well under creams and oils; pair it with gentle cleansers and hydrating moisturizers. Avoid combining with other strong actives (like high-strength AHAs/BHAs or vitamin C serums) at the same time until your skin is accustomed to the retinoids.

• Layer under a soothing moisturizer such as hyaluronic or ceramide creams
• Space out exfoliating acids and retinoids to reduce irritation risk
• Safe to use with most non-irritating hydrating and calming actives

Who this is for: Glow Recipe Gentle Blackberry Retinol Serum is suited for people in their 20s and up who want a gentler retinoid option to address congestion, uneven texture, early lines and blemishes without switching to a harsh regimen. It’s designed for sensitive, reactive or breakout-prone skin types that need effective renewal with low irritation potential. Choose it if you prefer a fruit-forward, Korean-inspired formula that blends clinical actives with hydrating, soothing ingredients and a mindful introduction to retinoids.
