## Description

Discover the secret of young skin with Maelove Retinol Moonlight Super Serum, your nightly ally looking for a radiant, ageless complexion. Hailed as the best retinol serum by The Zoe Report 2021, our formula is ten times stronger than traditional retinol, thanks to 0.11% encapsulated retinaldehyde (known as retinaldehyde) - a vitamin A derivative known for its unparalleled effectiveness. Our serum promises prescription results without irritation, making it perfect for all skin types. Its transforming effect reduces wrinkles, tightens skin, unifies skin tone and refines texture while you sleep to ensure you wake up with a fresh and youthful glow. Start slowly by using it 2-3 nights a week until the skin adapts before increasing to night use according to the tolerance. Maelove's commitment to quality means our serum is safe for sensitive skin and made in the USA. With a vegan, cruelty-free formula. Free from parabens, phthalates, dyes and artificial fragrances, it is a skin care product that you can feel comfortable with.

Review: strong retinoid - absorbs well without aggravating my skin. It is too early to comment on efficacy but given it's a strong retinoid it should work.
Review: Non irritating retinal serum - I’ve been using the MaeLove Moonlight Advanced Retinal Night Serum for a few months now and honestly I’m so impressed. It’s incredibly gentle on my skin — very hydrating, soothing, and not irritating at all, which can be hard to find in a retinal product. I’ve also been applying it on my neck and have noticed such a natural lifting effect along with more hydration and plumpness. I love that it combines 0.11% encapsulated retinaldehyde with nourishing ingredients like niacinamide, ceramides, squalane, hyaluronic acid, aloe, bisabolol, and antioxidant-rich botanicals like green tea and cranberry. It really feels like it smooths and firms without the dryness or peeling that usually comes with retinoids. My skin just looks healthier, brighter, and more refreshed overall. ✨

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favorite Retinal Skin Treatment
*by A***G on 5 December 2025*

I purchased the Moonlight Retinal Super Serum because I am 60 years old and have: deep scars from past pimples, fine to deep lines, oily skin, some hyperpigmentation, and a little sagging. I use it on my face and neck after I get home in the late afternoon, every other day. And follow up with sunscreen after I shower the next day; before I leave my home. It's gentle and I don’t smell a fragrance. My skin absorbs it and it’s not sticky. It’s effective. I feel its effects on the days I don’t use it. So there is longevity in its formula. After I use it, I notice my skin feels less oily and has a subtle glow: that really makes me happy. I also feel a gentle warmth when applying it, almost like the serum is activating on my skin. It feels comforting, not irritating.I love the bottle;it’s easy to hold, and the dropper dispenses just the right amount. The yellow color of the serum is beautiful too.I also like that it has ingredients like Aloe Leaf Juice, Niacinamide,and Hyaluronic acid. Because in the past I’ve used those ingredients and achieved great success with my skin. I highly recommend this and will definitely be repurchasing again
