Everything our beloved Midnight serum is, plus Retinol!
Stark's original, luxury night-time oil/gel hybrid serum Midnight is a nourishing and soothing to the skin, helps create a better skin barrier to strengthen skin's natural defense from environmental aggressors. Deep Midnight is all this, plus the benefits of pure, vegan, encapsulated retinol. The formula also features more Rosehip seed oil as well as carrot extract, to bolster the retinol with bio-available vitamins A and beta-carotene.
Rich in essential fatty acids, ceramides, lupin sterols, anti-inflammatories and anti-oxidants, which make this a retinol serum that is nourishing, non-irritating, and an all-in-one night time treatment.
30 mL / 1 oz black violet glass with pump
(please keep the bottle as I will have a bottle exchange program!)
Vegan. Sustainably sourced.
General rules for using retinol: 1. Use only at night. 2. Always wear an SPF during the day. 3. Do not over-exfoliate when using retinol. 4. Do not combine with any exfoliating products. 5. Ramp up usage slowly (even though Deep Midnight is a gentle retinol because it is oil-based and contains many skin-supporting ingredients).
In your 30s use: 3x a week
40s: 4x a week
50s: 5x a week
and so on!
Use consistently 1-2x a week before ramping up usage. If you are experienced with retinol, you can likely use Deep Midnight nightly.

What it's like
Deep Midnight transforms from a rich amber-hued gel-oil into a silky emollient that glides across the skin with surprising lightness, absorbing rapidly without leaving a greasy film. The neroli-dominant aroma offers a sophisticated citrus-floral bouquet that creates a calming sensorial experience perfect for evening use. Unlike typical retinol products that can feel drying, this serum delivers immediate comfort and hydration—with skin feeling noticeably smoother and plumper by morning, without the tightness or flakiness often associated with retinol treatments
-
In your routine
Incorporate Deep Midnight into your evening routine after cleansing and toning, applying 2-3 pumps to slightly damp skin for optimal absorption before adding any additional moisturizer if needed. Begin with application 1-2 times weekly before gradually increasing frequency based on your age: three times weekly for those in their 30s, four times for 40s, and five times for 50s and beyond. Always wear broad-spectrum SPF during daylight hours and avoid combining with exfoliating products on the same evening. For enhanced results, pair Deep Midnight with a simple, hydration-focused routine on retinol nights.

Why you need it
Deep Midnight redefines retinol treatment by solving the primary challenges that prevent many from experiencing its benefits—it delivers professional-grade results without the dryness, irritation, or complex multi-product protocols typically required. This all-in-one formula eliminates the need for separate serums, oils, and barrier repair products, saving you time and ensuring active ingredients work in harmony. The intelligent formulation strengthens your skin's resilience over time, providing classic retinol benefits of smoother texture, diminished fine lines, and more even tone, while your skin becomes progressively more healthy and balanced—making Deep Midnight not just an anti-aging treatment but a comprehensive skin health investment.
Key Ingredients in Deep Midnight Resiliency Boost Serum + Retinol
Encapsulated Vegan Retinol
Our plant-derived encapsulated retinol delivers powerful skin renewal with remarkable gentleness. This innovative ingredient works gradually, thanks to its specialized encapsulation technology that releases retinol in controlled doses throughout the night. This thoughtful approach helps diminish fine lines, even skin tone, and boost collagen production while being kinder to sensitive skin. Experience the gold standard in anti-aging with minimal irritation—revealing smoother, more radiant skin with consistent use.
Ceramide Complex
Ceramides are the essential lipids naturally found in your skin that help maintain its protective barrier and retain moisture. Our ceramide complex mimics your skin's natural structure to replenish and restore what time and environmental factors deplete. This powerhouse ingredient strengthens your skin's defense system, preventing moisture loss while protecting against irritants and pollution. By reinforcing the skin's natural barrier, ceramides help reduce sensitivity, dryness, and visible signs of aging—leaving skin looking healthier, plumper, and more resilient.
Lupin (Lupinus Albus) Seed Extract
Harvested from white lupin seeds, this plant-powered ingredient is a natural skin firming ally. Rich in proteins and amino acids, lupinus albus seed extract helps strengthen the skin's structural matrix, improving elasticity and firmness over time. This botanical extract works by supporting collagen and elastin production while providing a gentle tightening effect that's immediately noticeable. Beyond its firming benefits, it delivers antioxidant protection against environmental stressors and helps balance oil production. The result is smoother, more resilient skin with improved tone and texture—all from this remarkable legume-derived extract.
