Bio-Retinol botanical serum bottle — retinol alternative by Face by SERO

Bio-Retinol

All the results of retinol. None of the angry, flaking, menopausal meltdown.

We lose up to 30% of our skin's collagen in the first five years of hormonal change. While traditional retinol is always touted as the fix, it can leave shifting, menopausal skin feeling furious — red, raw, and completely flaking out. You shouldn't have to tolerate a "retinol purge" just to get firm, glowing skin.

Bio-Retinol uses a clever 2% concentration of Bidens Pilosa — a plant-based powerhouse that mimics the exact collagen-boosting pathways of Vitamin A, with zero irritation. It works hard to smooth fine lines, fade dark spots, and support your skin's structure. All the results. Absolutely none of the drama.

Collagen support that works with your skin, not against it

Traditional retinol forces rapid cell turnover that sensitised menopausal skin can't handle. Bio-Retinol activates the same pathways through plant-based signalling — producing gradual, genuine improvement without the inflammation that strips an already-compromised barrier.

The ingredient stack that makes it gentle and effective

Bidens Pilosa (2%) — plant-based retinol alternative that activates Vitamin A pathways without irritation.
Vitamin C — brightens dark spots and protects existing collagen from oxidative damage.
Vitamin E — deep nourishment and antioxidant protection for shifting skin.
Hyaluronic Acid — continuous surface hydration to support the renewal process.
Aloe Juice — calming and soothing base that counteracts any potential reactivity.

The why

When oestrogen levels drop, cellular renewal slows down and structural skin support declines rapidly. While standard retinoids break down an already vulnerable skin barrier, Retinol 2.0 is engineered to bridge the gap safely. It effectively stimulates structural proteins, refines uneven texture, and targets hormonal dark spots while keeping your delicate skin barrier completely calm, comfortable, and protected.

The How

Apply a few drops to your face and neck morning and night after using your cleanser (and toner!). Press it gently into your skin like it's a precious gift—never drag or rub.

Unlike traditional Vitamin A formulas, this botanical star is non-photosensitive and requires no gradual build-up period or complex "buffering." It is perfectly safe for sensitive skin from day one. Follow up with your favourite Face by Sero moisturiser to lock in all that juicy goodness.
