The story behind "The Good Week Retinol" by Priscila Fadul
Our celebration of Good Week Retinol, a retinol serum formulation that means so much to me personally. I started working on this formula while pursuing my degree in advanced cosmetic science last year, which gave me the opportunity to gather valuable feedback from experts and apply all my knowledge to its creation.
When I began developing Good Week Retinol, my goal was simple: to create something that worked hard for the skin yet felt gentle enough for everyone to use. At Lendava, we’ve always focused on simplicity—our Good Night Routine already provides everything your skin needs to wake up glowing. With our gentle cleanser Barefaced and Good Night Cream, we’ve built the perfect foundation for a streamlined skincare routine.
But one thing was missing: retinol. It’s no secret that retinol is one of the most powerful ingredients for skin renewal and longevity, but I believe it’s best used just a couple of times a week, not everynight. This inspired me to create a retinol treatment that would perfectly complement our current routine.
I wanted this serum to strike the perfect balance between power and gentleness—an effective formula that delivers results while being kind enough not to cause sensitivity.
The key ingredient in Good Week Retinol is Liposomal Retinol (1%), an encapsulated form that’s more stable, absorbs better, and is much gentler than traditional retinol. But I knew the serum needed more, so we incorporated IceAwake, a biotech complex from Switzerland proven to reduce cellular stress and revive tired, dull skin.
To make the formula even more balanced, I added CoQ10, one of my favorite antioxidants that protects the skin from external stressors, and Hyaluronic Acid, to keep the skin hydrated and calm during the renewal process.
And voilà! Good Week Retinol is here—a comprehensive serum designed for all skin types that works seamlessly with our Good Night Face Cream. It’s the perfect addition to any nighttime routine, offering the best of both worlds: results you’ll love and a formula you can trust.
