NIGHT CAP Vit A (4%) and Novoretin™ anti aging ointment
- Renews Skin Overnight
- Smooths Fine Lines & Wrinkles
- Supports the Skin Barrier
NIGHT CAP is a high-performance vitamin A treatment designed to reduce fine lines, smooth wrinkles, improve skin texture, boost firmness, and support overnight skin renewal. Powered by Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), NovoRetin™, and advanced actives, it works to increase cell turnover, strengthen the skin barrier, and enhance collagen production, delivering visible anti-ageing results with less irritation than traditional retinol. This next-generation formula helps restore smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin over time.
Engineered as the apex of anti-ageing performance, NIGHT CAP targets both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. HPR delivers direct vitamin A activity without conversion, while NovoRetin™ helps inhibit the enzyme that breaks down retinoic acid, extending its effectiveness. BORĒALINE® EXPERT supports skin density, firmness, and resilience, helping combat the visible effects of ageing from every angle.
The result? Skin that looks smoother, stronger, and visibly renewed.

NIGHT CAP can be used on alternative nights with another vit A product or you can adopt NIGHT CAP as your only vit A product.
Results from using a vitamin A often take time to become visible. It can take several weeks to a few months to see significant improvements in your skin's texture and appearance.
If you have sensitive skin, are prone to skin conditions, or are unsure about using vitamin A, it's a good idea to consult a dermatologist before incorporating it into your skincare routine.
Remember that using vitamin A can cause initial dryness, redness, and peeling. This is often referred to as the "retinization" period and is a normal part of the skin's adjustment to the product. If irritation becomes severe or persists, consider reducing the frequency of use or discontinuing the product temporarily.
How often should I be using NIGHT CAP?
We recommend using this once a day incorporating into your night-time routine. However, if you are new to using Vit A, please follow the instructions on the packaging for slow integration into your skincare routine.
When will I see the effects of using NIGHT CAP?
The effectiveness of NIGHT CAP varies based on factors such as skin type, age, and overall skin condition. Visible and tactile improvements, such as reduced fine lines and enhanced skin moisturization and smoothness, can be observed. To maximize the efficacy of the anti-aging cream, consistent and prolonged application is recommended.
HERO INGREDIENT HPR
Delving into the Vitamin A family, we introduce Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR), also known as Granactive Retinoid, a derivative directly linked to retinoic acid. Unlike other forms of vitamin A requiring multiple conversions, HPR is bioavailable, ready to work wonders on your skin without weakening in the process. Comparatively effective to retinal but gentle like retinol esters, HPR is the solution for those seeking a potent yet skin-friendly anti-aging regimen.
HERO INGREDIENT NovoRetin™
Embracing the power of retinoic acid inhibition, our product counters the breakdown caused by enzymes like CYP26A1, boosting the levels of active retinoic acid in your skin. Enter NovoRetin™, our plant-based inhibitor derived from the aromatic resin of the mastic tree. NovoRetin™ not only halts these enzymes but maintains the activity of retinoic acid, mimicking the benefits of retinol without the irritation, leaving you with youthful, glowing skin.
NovoRetin™ goes beyond the surface, refining pores, improving elasticity, and lifting your skin, giving you visible results. Say hello to brighter, firmer, and rejuvenated skin, bidding farewell to fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. Harness the power of nature with NovoRetin™, your key to timeless, radiant skin.

GOOD SKIN DOESN'T CLOCK OFF AT NIGHT.
NIGHT CAP is designed to support skin renewal while you sleep, helping improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and loss of firmness over time.
If you're new to Vitamin A, start with 2–3 evenings per week and gradually increase as your skin adjusts. Apply a small amount to dry skin, avoiding the immediate eye area, and follow with DAY HYDRATE to support moisture retention.
For a complete routine, pair NIGHT CAP with DAY DRIN-C Vitamin C in the morning to support brighter-looking skin and antioxidant protection throughout the day.
These are suggested complete routines. NIGHT CAP contains Vitamin A and should not be used during pregnancy or when planning pregnancy. Introduce retinoids gradually, avoid combining with other strong exfoliating treatments on the same area, and always apply SPF during the day.
1. What exactly does NIGHT CAP do?
NIGHT CAP is a high-performance nightly Vitamin A treatment designed to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture and loss of firmness. Powered by next-generation Vitamin A (HPR), NovoRetin™ and BORĒALINE® EXPERT, it helps support skin renewal, smoother-looking texture and a firmer, more radiant complexion over time. Think of it as your overnight skin-renewal treatment.
2. What's the difference between NIGHT CAP and a traditional retinol?
Not all Vitamin A products work the same way. NIGHT CAP contains Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), a retinoid that can interact directly with retinoic acid receptors without requiring the same conversion steps as traditional retinol. It's paired with NovoRetin™, a plant-derived ingredient designed to complement Vitamin A activity. Together, they offer a different approach to supporting skin renewal and improving visible signs of ageing. HPR may be better tolerated by some skin types, although irritation is still possible.
3. NIGHT CAP contains 4% Vitamin A. Is that too strong for my skin?
The 4% refers to the SymRenew™ HPR ingredient complex used in the formulation, not necessarily 4% pure active retinoid. The concentration of an ingredient complex cannot be directly compared with the percentage of pure retinol in another product. As with any Vitamin A treatment, your skin's tolerance matters. If you're new to retinoids, start with 2–3 evenings per week and gradually increase frequency as your skin adjusts.
4. Can NIGHT CAP help with acne-prone skin, congestion and enlarged pores?
NIGHT CAP can be a useful addition to a routine focused on uneven texture, excess buildup and congested-looking skin. Vitamin A derivatives help support skin renewal, which may improve the appearance of rough texture and visible pores over time. However, NIGHT CAP is not an acne treatment, and persistent or inflammatory acne may require targeted treatment from a healthcare professional.
5. How long does it take to see results from NIGHT CAP?
Results vary depending on your skin and how consistently you use the product. Some people may notice smoother, softer-looking skin within the first few weeks, while visible improvements in fine lines, uneven texture and firmness can take several weeks to a few months. In an ed&i customer survey of 66 people who had used a full tube, 92% reported improvements in the appearance of lines and wrinkles, while 94% reported smoother, brighter-looking skin. Individual results may vary.
6. Can I use NIGHT CAP with Vitamin C, niacinamide and other active skincare?
Yes, with a considered routine. NIGHT CAP works well alongside hydrating and barrier-supporting products such as SKIN QUENCH, WITH MILK and DAY HYDRATE. We recommend using DAY DRIN-C Vitamin C in the morning and NIGHT CAP Vitamin A in the evening. Avoid layering NIGHT CAP with other retinoids or strong exfoliating acids on the same area unless advised by a skincare professional, particularly when first introducing Vitamin A.
7. Will NIGHT CAP cause dryness, peeling or purging?
Vitamin A can cause temporary dryness, redness, flaking or sensitivity as your skin adjusts, particularly if you're new to retinoids. This doesn't mean the product is working better, and irritation isn't something you need to push through. Start slowly, follow with DAY HYDRATE and reduce frequency if your skin feels uncomfortable. Some acne-prone users may notice an initial increase in breakouts, but persistent or worsening breakouts shouldn't automatically be dismissed as purging.
8. Can I use NIGHT CAP on my neck, chest and décolletage?
Yes, NIGHT CAP can be introduced to the neck, chest and décolletage to help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and visible signs of ageing. These areas can be more sensitive than the face, so start with a small amount once or twice weekly and gradually increase as tolerated. Follow with moisturiser and always apply broad-spectrum SPF to exposed areas during the day.
