Nutrient Face Serum
A vitamin-rich antioxidant serum that delivers lightweight hydration while helping brighten, soothe, and enhance your bare skin.
EDITOR’S NOTE
Part serum, part lightweight moisturizer, this is the flexible layer in the Retrouvé routine—particularly useful when you want antioxidant support and hydration without the weight of a cream.
This multitasking serum combines tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, niacinamide, vitamin E, panthenol, coenzyme Q10, bakuchiol, and botanical extracts to deliver antioxidant support while addressing dullness, dehydration, and uneven texture.
Glycerin, squalane, and panthenol replenish moisture without the weight of a traditional cream, making the formula easy to layer beneath moisturizer. Balanced, combination, or slightly oily skin types may also find it hydrating enough to wear on its own.
The serum is housed in Retrouvé’s RTAPS313™ Triple Airless Protection System to help preserve formula integrity.
Inside the Formula
- Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate: A lipid-soluble derivative of vitamin C that helps improve brightness and uneven tone
- Niacinamide: A multitasking form of vitamin B3 that helps support an even complexion and healthy skin barrier
- Vitamin E: An antioxidant that conditions skin and helps defend against environmental stressors
- Coenzyme Q10: An antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals and support healthy skin
- Panthenol: Pro-vitamin B5 that helps soothe skin and replenish essential moisture
- Squalane: A lightweight emollient that helps reduce moisture loss without leaving a heavy finish
