NOON Aesthetics Retinol Charisma 0.3% + DermShield™ is the introductory strength in NOON's retinol line, formulated to refine uneven texture, soften the visible appearance of fine lines, improve firmness and brighten the appearance of dark spots and sun-related discoloration.
Key Ingredients and Benefits
Retinol 0.3%: Supports skin renewal, smoother-looking texture and reduction in the visible appearance of fine lines and age spots. Oligopeptide-68: Brightening peptide that helps improve the look of uneven tone and dark marks. Leontopodium Alpinum (Edelweiss) Callus Culture Extract: Botanical antioxidant ingredient to help defend against environmental oxidative stress. Methyl Perfluorobutyl Ether: Perfluorocarbon emulsion featured in NOON's skin-conditioning delivery complex.

Ideal for: First-time retinol users and clients wanting an entry-level anti-aging treatment for uneven texture, fine lines or visible hyperpigmentation. Sensitive skin still requires a gradual introduction.
Pairs Well With
Optimal Moisturizing Guardian: Barrier-supporting moisturizer after retinol, especially when beginning use. Halo-Ronic Serum: Additional hydration for skin that feels dry. MicroSoft Cleanser: Gentle cleanser for a non-exfoliating first step. MultiVit Sun Protector SPF 30: Broad-spectrum daytime protection is essential while using retinol.
Suggested AM and PM Routine
Morning: Gentle cleanser → Halo-Ronic Serum (optional) → moisturizer → broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
Evening: Gentle cleanser → a thin layer of Retinol Charisma 0.3% on the face and neck, avoiding direct contact with eyes → Optimal Moisturizing Guardian or another suitable moisturizer.
Gradual Introduction and Alternating Use
NOON's US manufacturer directions recommend applying in the evening, once daily or as instructed by your skincare specialist. Start on alternate evenings, or 2–3 nights weekly if sensitive, then gradually work toward nightly application as tolerated. On nights when applying Lacto 10, Lacto-C 15, Lacto-S or other concentrated exfoliating acids, consider skipping retinol initially rather than layering multiple strong active products. NOON uses some combined professional regimens, but these should be individualized.
Precautions
Retinol may cause dryness, peeling or irritation even when formulated with DermShield™. If persistent burning, redness or peeling develops, reduce use and ask your skincare specialist for guidance. Avoid use during pregnancy or when trying to conceive; ask your healthcare professional for individualized guidance if breastfeeding. For external use only; avoid direct eye contact, broken skin, and compromised or freshly treated skin. Prior to CO2 resurfacing, laser, IPL, microneedling or peels, follow your provider's exact instructions for when to pause retinol and when it is safe to restart. Use broad-spectrum SPF daily and limit sun exposure. Keep out of reach of children.
