Circadia Nighttime Repair Plus Retinol Cream

Circadia Nighttime Repair Plus is a vitamin A moisturizer formulated to work with your skin's natural overnight renewal cycle, delivering visible anti-aging results without the irritation that often comes with traditional retinoids. It combines 0.5% retinyl acetate with a multi-peptide complex, barrier-restoring ceramides, and a stable vitamin C ester to address fine lines, uneven texture, and cumulative skin damage while you sleep. A light vanilla note from vanilla planifolia fruit extract gives the moisturizer a subtle, pleasant scent.

Key Benefits

Supports Collagen and Firms Over Time Retinyl acetate, a gentle and stable form of vitamin A, works alongside palmitoyl tripeptide-38 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 to encourage collagen production and help skin feel firmer with continued use.

Restores and Strengthens the Skin Barrier Ceramide NP, ceramide AP, ceramide EOP, cholesterol, and phytosphingosine form a skin-identical lipid complex that replenishes what the barrier needs to hold moisture in and keep irritants out.

Brightens and Defends Against Oxidative Stress Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a lipid-soluble form of vitamin C, penetrates readily and delivers antioxidant protection while helping to even skin tone. Ergothioneine adds a second layer of defense against environmental and oxidative damage.

Calms Inflammation and Slows Inflamm-Aging Asiaticoside, asiatic acid, madecassic acid (the active compounds in centella asiatica), and chrysin work together to reduce chronic low-grade inflammation, which is a key driver of visible skin aging.

Supports DNA Repair Overnight Hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin helps encapsulate and deliver actives more precisely, while niacinamide supports the skin's ability to address daily DNA stress and reduce the visible effects of digital and environmental exposure.

Circadia Nighttime Repair Plus is best suited for adults with normal, dry, or combination skin who are already comfortable using vitamin A in their routine and want to deepen those results. If you have been using a retinol or vitamin A product consistently and your skin has fully adjusted, this moisturizer offers a way to maintain that tolerance while adding barrier support, antioxidants, and peptides to your overnight routine.

This moisturizer is also a strong fit for skin showing early to moderate signs of aging, including fine lines, loss of firmness, uneven tone, and a compromised barrier from years of environmental exposure. If your skin tends to feel tight or reactive after actives, the ceramide complex and centella-derived calming ingredients make this a more manageable option than harsher vitamin A formulations.

Those new to vitamin A or currently experiencing active skin sensitivity should build tolerance with a gentler entry-level vitamin A product before introducing Circadia Nighttime Repair Plus.

Once your skin has fully adjusted to Circadia Nighttime Repair Plus and you are using it consistently without any sensitivity, you can amplify results in targeted areas by applying a slightly more generous layer over spots where you want extra focus, such as the eye area or deep lines around the mouth, before layering the rest of your routine on top.

Prepare: Cleanse and tone your skin before applying.

Apply: Dispense a pea-sized amount and spread evenly over face, neck, and décolleté each evening.

Frequency: Begin with 2 to 3 nights per week and gradually increase as your skin adjusts. Use only if you are already accustomed to vitamin A products. Apply SPF every morning while using this product.
