BasicLab ESTETICUS Intensive renewal stimulating serum 0.3% retinol, 0.15% retinal, 0.5% adapalene acid ester 30ml

Intensive skin renewal, wrinkle reduction and improved firmness with three retinoids!

BasicLab Intensive Renewal Stimulating Serum is an advanced dermocosmetic designed for intensive anti-ageing skincare and visible improvements in skin condition. Combining three retinoid forms – 0.3% retinol, 0.15% retinal and 0.5% adapalene ester – it supports skin renewal, smooths the appearance of wrinkles, helps reduce pigmentation and improves skin firmness and density.

The multi-targeted retinoid complex is complemented by four ceramides that help strengthen the skin's moisture barrier and minimise dryness associated with retinisation. Developed for experienced retinoid users, this high-strength serum is suitable for skin that has already built tolerance and needs a more intensive renewal treatment. It can also be introduced as a stronger step within an established retinoid routine, without combining it with other retinoids in the same application.

• Adapalene ester 0.5% – a retinoid derivative that supports improved skin firmness, elasticity and density. According to the manufacturer, it is designed to deliver intensive renewal benefits while helping minimise the risk of irritation.

FAQ:

Is this serum with retinol, retinal and adapalene ester suitable for beginners?

No. This intensive formula is intended for experienced retinoid users. Retinoid skincare should begin with lower strengths, gradually increasing intensity as tolerance develops.

Which ingredients should I avoid combining with this serum?

Do not use it in the same skincare routine as exfoliating acid peels, other retinoid products or copper peptide skincare.

How long does it take to build tolerance to this serum?

According to the manufacturer, the adjustment period typically takes around 8–12 weeks. The process varies depending on individual skin tolerance.

Can I use this serum if I have very sensitive skin?

The manufacturer recommends carrying out a patch test first. Due to its high-strength formula, the serum is intended for skin already accustomed to retinoids.

Can I use this serum during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Do not use during pregnancy. Consult your doctor before using it while breastfeeding.
