Ritanol is a next-generation retinol serum, formulated with dermatologic science at its core. Retinol accelerates cellular turnover and stimulates collagen synthesis, while DNA-repair enzymes target photodamage at the molecular level. A lipid-soluble vitamin C derivative, ascorbyl linoleate, delivers antioxidant defense and brightening benefits, and ceramide-rich hydration fortifies the skin barrier to minimize irritation. The result is visible: smoother texture, more even tone, and measurable improvements in elasticity and luminosity with consistent use.
Ritanol was designed for women in their 40s and beyond—the stage when years of sun exposure begin to show as fine lines, uneven tone, and loss of firmness. If you’ve tried retinol before but couldn’t stay consistent because of irritation or dryness, Ritanol is different. Its balanced formula—retinol plus DNA-repair enzymes, lipid-soluble vitamin C, and ceramide hydration—was created for skin that needs real science-backed correction without the setbacks.
This serum is ideal if you notice fine lines, sun spots, or uneven pigmentation from years of sun exposure. It's designed for those who want to improve skin elasticity and luminosity. If you need a retinol that can be used 365 nights a year, not just occasionally, then Ritanol will be your tried and true go-to.
This dermatologist-backed formula designed to strengthen, not strip, your skin. Ritanol is for women who want measurable, visible results and a nightly ritual they can rely on—not just a retinol that sits in the drawer.
Retinol, the gold-standard for stimulating collagen, speeding cell turnover, and reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven tone.
Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II), Skin-identical lipids that restore the barrier and lock in hydration. Crucial because they make retinol tolerable for consistent use by reducing irritation and dryness.
Ascorbyl Linoleate, A lipid-soluble vitamin C derivative that brightens skin tone, protects against free radical damage, and works synergistically with retinol to support collagen.

Apply In the evening after cleansing and before applying your moisturizer. If a retinol product has never been used before, begin twice a week 2-3 days apart, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, and then advancing to each evening or as tolerated.
I named this product after myself because it’s the retinol I ENJOY using, every single night. I love how it feels—silky, weightless, never greasy—and how it works beyond what a standard retinol can do. Ritanol combines retinol with DNA-repair enzymes, antioxidant-rich vitamin C (ascorbyl linoleate), and barrier-building ceramides to smooth, brighten, and strengthen your skin while you sleep.
