The Skincare Ingredient That Hasn’t Been Replaced in 30 Years
Every year, skincare buzzwords change—ceramides, niacinamide, peptides, snail mucin... the list goes on.
But one ingredient remains undisputed by dermatologists across the world: retinol.
It’s effective. It’s clinically proven. And it targets almost every skin concern:
➡️ Acne
➡️ Dullness
➡️ Pigmentation
➡️ Fine lines
➡️ Clogged pores
At dot3b, it’s the reason we chose retinol as the core active in our Overnight Repair Night Cream—but not just any retinol. Ours is encapsulated for maximum results with zero drama.
The research speaks for itself.

Why Do Dermatologists Still Recommend Retinol?⚕️
1. It Speeds Up Skin Cell Turnover 💨
Every 28 days, your skin sheds dead cells and generates new ones.
Retinol speeds this up—so instead of waiting a month, your skin gets fresher, faster.
That means:
-
Less buildup
-
Faster fading of dark spots
-
More glow
2. It Fades Pigmentation, Marks & Scars☀️
Retinol targets pigmentation at the source by reducing melanin transfer and exfoliating surface discoloration.
3. 🔓 It Unclogs Pores & Treats Acne
Dead skin + oil = blocked pores.
Blocked pores = breakouts.
Retinol breaks that cycle by:
-
Reducing oil production
-
Preventing clogged follicles
-
Reducing inflammation
4. ✨ It Reduces Fine Lines & Boosts Texture
With regular use, retinol triggers collagen production and helps:
-
Smooth fine lines
-
Firm sagging skin
-
Soften texture irregularities
Why We Built Our Night Cream Around Retinol🌙
When we formulated the Overnight Repair Night Cream, we didn’t just want it to contain retinol.
We wanted it to make retinol work for everyone—including first-timers and sensitive skin types.
That’s why we chose:
-
🧬 Encapsulated Retinol – releases slowly, minimizes peeling
-
💧 Cream-Based Formula – hydrating, barrier-friendly
-
🌿 NanoWhite™, Collagen Peptides, and Soothing Actives – brighten, firm, and calm skin overnight

FAQs
|
Q: Can sensitive skin types use retinol? A: Yes—but preferably encapsulated retinol, which is gentler and less irritating. Our Overnight Repair is designed for even reactive skin. |
|
Q: When do you start seeing results? A: Some users notice smoother skin in 2–4 weeks. For pigmentation or acne scars, allow 6–12 weeks of consistent use. |
|
Q: Should I stop using other actives with it? A: If you use retinol at night, avoid any other actives in that routine. Other (non-photosensitive) actives can be applied in your AM routine. As a principle, we believe less is more. Avoid layering strong exfoliants or acids without derm guidance. |
|
Q: Do I need to use sunscreen with retinol? A: Absolutely. Retinol increases sun sensitivity. SPF 50+ is non-negotiable in the daytime. |
