Elluvi

Anti-ageing

Two ways to take the same active. Hydra Glow Cream is retinol 0.3% in a rich overnight base, with niacinamide, alpha arbutin and squalane alongside it. The Age Defying Serum is retinol 0.3% with a peptide complex and nothing occlusive, for skin that already has a moisturiser it likes. Both are night-only, and you use one of them, not both.

The percentage is the product

Retinol works in proportion to how much of it is in the jar and how long you keep using it. Most anti-ageing creams sold in Pakistan state no percentage at all, and several are a gentler derivative — retinyl palmitate, retinaldehyde — sold under the word retinol. A stated 0.3% is not a marketing number, it is the only thing that lets you compare two jars.

Sunscreen outperforms every cream here

Most of what people call ageing on Pakistani skin is sun damage, and a retinol used without daily SPF is undoing its own work every morning. We do not sell a sunscreen; buy any SPF 50 you will actually reapply. If you only ever add one product to a routine, it is that one and not this page.

Two to three nights a week, then judge at eight weeks

Retinol started nightly is how people end up with a peeling face and the belief that their skin cannot tolerate it. Start at two or three nights, moisturise after, and expect the first honest read at week eight — texture and tone before lines. Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
