Product Description

Gentle Retinol Serum that Rebuilds Skin Overnight.

Combines encapsulated retinol with nourishing oils for minimal irritation
Enhanced with rosehip and carrot extract for complementary vitamin A benefits
Reinforces skin barrier with ceramides and essential fatty acids
Calms potential retinol sensitivity with herbal anti-inflammatories

Deep Midnight enhances our original Midnight serum with the addition of pure, vegan, encapsulated retinol. This oil/gel hybrid maintains the nourishing and soothing properties of its predecessor while introducing retinol benefits in a gentle delivery system. The encapsulation technology helps ensure the retinol remains stable and releases gradually into the skin, minimizing potential irritation.

Retinol & Vitamin A Synergy Formula

What distinguishes Deep Midnight from typical retinol products is its comprehensive approach to skin support. The formula contains increased concentrations of Rosa Canina (rosehip) seed oil and carrot extract, delivering complementary forms of vitamin A and beta-carotene that work alongside retinol to enhance results without increasing sensitivity.

Protects Skin's Barrier

The serum's matrix of essential fatty acids provides nourishment, while ceramides reinforce the skin's natural barrier function. Lupine sterols contribute phytosterols that help maintain skin's lipid balance, and herbal infusions of chamomile, yarrow, calendula, and marshmallow help counter potential retinol-induced sensitivity. Antioxidant-rich ingredients like broccoli seed oil, cranberry seed oil, and sea buckthorn extract provide protection against oxidative stress.

Deep Midnight's unique oil/gel consistency allows for effective penetration while maintaining a lightweight feel. The neroli-dominant essential oil blend adds a pleasant sensorial element. The serum is packaged in a black violet glass bottle with a pump dispenser to protect from light degradation and maintain potency.

Using this Serum

Experience it

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

How to Use it

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 Retinol Serum for Overnight Repair

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.

It is a second time I bought this product and it

It is a second time I bought this product and it is so so awesome - I use it in winter and now in this hot summer and I love it.

Luxurious

Feels deluxe and deeply hydrating.

This makes a difference!

I can literally see the difference it makes on my skin the next morning. It reduces inflammation, and my face looks so much more nourished than it does without the new Deep Midnight. Thank you Stark!

My dehydrated skin looooves this. Great formula.
