The MECCA view

Retinol and Vitamin C are two of the most powerful ingredients when it comes to addressing visible signs of ageing — so we combined them in one streamlined serum. Created by our co-founder and board-certified dermatologist, Reverse Serum delivers retinol results without the usual tradeoffs. It uses encapsulated retinol (a gentler, controlled-release form) paired with vitamin C for renewal, smoothing, and brightening. To prevent irritation, it’s buffered with hydrating and calming ingredients like Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe, Squalane, Comfrey Extract, and Vitamin E. Skin looks smoother, brighter, more even-toned and balanced. It’s your retinol routine, reimagined.

Usage

Use at night only. After cleansing with Bare Necessity, press a few drops into the face and neck. Follow with Barely There. Always apply SPF the next morning — retinol and vitamin C make skin more sun-sensitive.

Warnings

Retinol increases skin photosensitivity. Apply SPF during the day. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth.
