Eighth Day

Details

The most powerful overnight treatment in the Eighth Day collection — and the one formulated for skin that is ready for the next level. The Night Cream Treatment is built around RetinalXR™, a proprietary extended-release microencapsulated retinal technology developed by Dr. Antony Nakhla that delivers 250% greater potency than standard retinol, with a precision delivery matrix designed to maximise efficacy and minimise irritation. Where standard retinol is a precursor that must be converted by the skin before it becomes active, retinal (retinaldehyde) is already one step ahead — closer to retinoic acid in the conversion chain, and significantly more potent. Microencapsulation releases it gradually through the night, reducing the sensitivity that typically accompanies high-potency retinoids. GGA (Teprenone) inhibits DNA damage to extend the life of skin cells and slow visible signs of aging; Bakuchiol smooths texture, reduces dark spots, and restores elasticity; and Peptide-rich Plasma® works throughout the night to stimulate the skin's innate renewal and regeneration capacity. Clinically proven: after 4 weeks, 97% of users showed measurable improvement in skin firmness, 94% showed measurable improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, and 100% agreed it delivered professional-grade results. Created for experienced retinoid users. Bioidentical technology. Clean science. Unisex and suitable for all skin tones.

How To Use

Apply as the very last step of the evening skincare routine, after serum and moisturiser. Begin by applying every two to three nights and allow the skin to acclimate fully before gradually increasing to nightly use as tolerated. Do not use in the morning. Follow with SPF the next day. For those new to retinoids, begin with a lower-potency retinoid before introducing this treatment.

Key Ingredients

• RetinalXR™ (Microencapsulated Retinal) — Proprietary extended-release retinal technology delivering 250% greater potency than standard retinol; the microencapsulation matrix maximises potency and minimises irritation, releasing active retinal gradually through the night to visibly smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and roughness; brighten dark spots; and decongest the skin
• Peptide-rich Plasma® — Proprietary patented complex of 24 bioidentical peptides, amino acids, and growth factors that stimulate the skin's innate renewal and regeneration processes overnight
• GGA / Teprenone — Inhibits DNA damage to help extend the life of skin cells, slowing the visible signs of intrinsic aging at a cellular level
• Bakuchiol — A plant-derived retinol alternative that smooths skin texture, reduces the appearance of dark spots, and restores elasticity — working synergistically with RetinalXR™ to amplify anti-aging results
• Acetyl Zingerone — A powerful antioxidant derived from ginger that neutralises free radical damage and provides anti-inflammatory support
• Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) — Deeply nourishing emollient that supports barrier function and prevents transepidermal water loss during overnight treatment
• Sodium Hyaluronate — Delivers moisture at multiple skin depths to keep skin plump and hydrated through the night
• Saccharide Isomerate — A plant-derived moisturising complex that mimics the skin's own natural moisturising factors for long-lasting hydration
• Panthenol (Provitamin B5) — Soothes, hydrates, and supports barrier repair
• Allantoin — Calms and promotes healthy skin cell turnover
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — Antioxidant protection that supports overnight healing
