Crafting resilient skin.
since 2011
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.

(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.
