WHY IT WORKS
- OCC3® Oil Control Complex (Bakuchiol, Willow Herb, Sarcosine) - Inhibits the enzyme that's the root cause of excess oil production. Less oil, fewer imperfections. Has anti-aging and antioxidant benefits.
- Pure Naturally-Encapsulated Retinol - Speeds up cell turnover so fresh, younger-looking cells come to the surface. Builds collagen and targets the signs of aging, acne, and hyperpigmentation. Patented encapsulation does not clog pores and allows for gentle time-release to minimize irritation.
- Granactive Retinoid® (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate) - Next generation retinoid that delivers the benefits of retinol with less irritation. Doesn't need to convert in the skin, so works immediately on a different pathway.
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD) -Oil soluble vitamin C ester that builds collagen, brightens, and fights free radicals. Works well with retinol.
- Azelaic Acid (Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate) - Increases clarity, prevents hyperpigmentation, and evens tone while reducing inflammation and redness.
- Anti-Aging Peptides - Stimulates collagen to minimize fine lines, and improve firmness and elasticity
- Patented Delivery System & Skin Soothing Ingredients - Supports the skin barrier and minimizes irritation for a potent, yet gentle formula that's safe for sensitive skin.

HOW TO USE
AT NIGHT 🌙
CLEANSE • SERUM • MOISTURIZE
- Cleanse
- Apply 1-2 pumps to face and neck (avoid eye area)
- Follow with ample moisturizer
- Apply broad spectrum 30+ sunscreen daily
Start by using 3 nights per week, gradually increasing to every other night and then nightly, as tolerated.
Do not use other resurfacing or retinoid products on the same night. If sensitivity occurs, reduce frequency until skin adjusts.
PRO TIP If you are new to retinoids or have sensitive skin, utilize the "sandwich method" to help your skin acclimate. After cleansing, apply moisturizer. Once absorbed, apply the serum as directed, followed by another layer of moisturizer.
GOOD TO KNOW
- Color - Yellow
- Texture - Silky, lightweight, fast absorbing cream
- Fragrance Free By Design - Contains no added fragrance, masking agents, or fragrance minimizers.
A brief medicinal scent may be noticeable for 15–20 seconds after application — a normal characteristic of the active ingredients. The scent fades quickly as the product absorbs, reflecting a clean, unaltered formulation with no unnecessary additives. - Purging - This product accelerates cell turnover to bring fresh cells to the surface. It will push out congestion that was already developing. This is normal and while frustrating, is necessary to get to the desired clarity for the long term.
- How Long It Lasts - (depending on use, a little goes a long way)
15ml - approx. 4 weeks

WHY YOUR SKINCARE ISN'T WORKING
HOW OCC3® WORKS
Deep in your sebaceous glands, an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase converts hormones into DHT, a potent compound that fuels your skin to overproduce oil. More oil means more shine, congestion, dark spots, and dullness.
Most products address the surface. OCC3® blocks this enzyme at the source.
The result is less oil and clearer, smoother, brighter skin.
OIL CONTROL COMPLEX (OCC3)®
OCC3® is our proprietary complex of bakuchiol, willow herb, and N-methylglycine, that targets the enzyme that causes excess oil production.e excess oil at the cellular level.
PURE ENCAPSULATED RETINOL
A stable form of Vitamin A that accelerates cell turnover and boosts collagen production, while preventing acne and hyperpigmentation. Ours is naturally encapsulated (no silicones) for a slow, steady release that minimizes irritation.
GRANACTIVE RETINOID®
An ester of retinoic acid, known as Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), that does not require conversion in the skin. So, it works immediately to deliver retinol-like benefits with minimal irritation.
TETRAHEXYLDEXYL ASCORBATE (THD)
A stable, oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative that effectively penetrates oily skin to boost collagen production and neutralize free radicals. It brightens the surface and works well with retinoids.
ANTI-AGING PEPTIDES
Short amino-acid chains that signal the skin to act younger stimulating collagen and elastin production. Teprenone, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 and Tripeptide-1 are patented and proven to reduce the visible signs of aging.

HOW IS THE RETINOL RENEWAL DIFFERENT THAN THE PERFECTING SERUM?
THE RETINOL RENEWAL accelerates cell turnover and works deep within the skin to keep the cells unblemished and healthy as they rise to the surface. THE PERFECTING SERUM is an exfoliating treatment focused on improving oily skin concerns on the surface of the skin.
So, THE PERFECTING SERUM addresses the skin of today. THE RETINOL RENEWAL addresses the skin of tomorrow. When you use both serums, you can achieve even better results as your skin is nourished, treated, and corrected for improvement now and in the future.
CAN I USE THE RETINOL RENEWAL WITH THE PERFECTING SERUM?
While gentle, THE RETINOL RENEWAL is a potent formula. We do not recommend using it with any other exfoliating or retinoid product on the same night. Once your skin acclimates, you can slowly introduce THE PERFECTING SERUM on alternate nights for a comprehensive approach to caring for your oily or combination skin.
HOW IS THE RETINOL RENEWAL MADE FOR OILY AND COMBINATION SKIN?
THE RETINOL RENEWAL contains our exclusive Oil Control Complex (OCC3)™ that targets the enzyme in the skin that triggers excess oil production, 5-alpha reductase. Rather than mask the oil with mattifying ingredients, this serum addresses the root causes along with other actives, to correct and perfect at the cellular level. While these ingredients are beneficial to all skin, they are particularly important to balancing oily and combination skin.
CAN I USE THE RETINOL RENEWAL IF I DON'T HAVE OILY SKIN?
Yes. We recommend that you follow with an additional application of moisturizer.
HOW IS THE RETINOL RENEWAL MADE FOR ALL SKIN TONES?
We don't just say it, we prove it. In every stage of formula development, the impact and efficacy on all skin tones is considered. That includes ingredient selection, delivery technology, formula composition, and clinical and consumer testing on every single Fitzpatrick skin type I - VI (representing skin tones) to confirm that LALAIS products work with visible results for all of those with oily and combination skin. This takes tremendous time and effort, and is evidenced by the quality and results of THE RETINOL RENEWAL.

Reviews
"This is a wonderful product! It timgles a little at first. My skin looks great, as a result of consistently using this and the perfecting serum."
Finally, a Non-Irritating Retinol
"Most retinol creams dry out my skin, but this one doesn’t. The Retinol Renewal Cream leaves my skin soft, smooth, and irritation-free."
I’ve been using the LALAIS
"I’ve been using the LALAIS Retinol Renew Serum for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it’s one of the most impressive retinol products I’ve tried. My skin tends to be on the oily and acne-prone side, with some uneven texture and hyperpigmentation left over from breakouts. I was drawn to this serum because it combines multiple forms of retinoid: pure retinol, HPR, and even bakuchiol, which I liked because it promised results without being overly harsh. The texture is silky and lightweight, almost lotion-like, and it absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. I’ve been applying it at night, about three times a week to start, and now I’m up to five nights without any major irritation. I think it’s a great serum to use for anti-aging benefits!"
I’ve tried so many retinols
"I’ve tried so many retinols that either dried me out or made me way too shiny—but this one from LALAIS finally feels like it gets my skin. The Tri-Retinol Concentrate gives me that smooth, refined glow without the usual flaking or tightness. It’s lightweight, silky, and melts in fast—no heavy residue, no greasiness. What I love most is how balanced my skin feels. My T-zone doesn’t get as oily through the day, yet my cheeks stay soft and hydrated. After a few weeks, I noticed my pores looking smaller and my texture way smoother. It’s like my skin finally found its rhythm again. If you’ve got oily or combo skin and want the benefits of retinol without the mess or irritation—this one’s worth the splurge. It’s retinol done right. I absolutely love this product."
My skin has never felt
"My skin has never felt more balanced since adding this retinol treatment to my routine. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film, yet it somehow manages to keep my shine under control all day long. It helps my T-zone stay balanced, and my pores look visibly smaller. Over the weeks that I've used it, I noticed fewer clogged pores and far less dull-looking skin, which made my skin feel cleaner and smoother. What truly impressed me was how good it evened out my dark spots and old acne marks. I love that it has a blend of retinoids, vitamin C, and azelaic acid that seems to work in brightening dull areas and gradually fading discoloration without irritation. My skin tone looks more balanced, and the texture feels firmer and more youthful thanks to this retinol."
Lalais is a research-backed, and
"Lalais is a research-backed, and highly awarded brand I was recently introduced to, geared toward oily and combination skin like mine. The Lalais Retinol Renewal is a yellow, creamy, perfectly pH-balanced serum that combines three retinoids, an Oil Control Complex, azelaic acid, vitamin C, and anti-aging peptides. It’s gentle even on my sensitive, drier patches yet delivers results comparable to stronger, more aggressive, retinoids. After using it nightly for a month, my face looks more even-toned, balanced, firmer, and youthful. I’ve also seen a lasting reduction in oil buildup through the day (even when wearing makeup), improved texture and brightness, and best of all - no breakouts! Lalais makes big claims, including being tailored specifically for my skin type, and this fantastic product stands up to all of them."
After using this retinol cream
"After using this retinol cream from Lalais, I have noticed that my skin overall looks so much better and radiant. My skin feels supple and hydrated. The fine lines around my eyes and mouth have softened quite a bit. My skin looks less inflamed and swollen looking. I have used a small amount cream on my face and neck every day for the last month. It has a very light and pleasant scent. It glides on my skin very smooth with a great texture. It does not leave my face feeling sticky, greasy or tacky like some retinols I’ve used in the past. This was a very generous sized bottle that was well packaged . It was a very sizable portion in an easy to use pump bottle. The overall price point for this is on target for how luxurious this feels and the amazing results. I would definitely recommend this and look forward to trying more products by this company."
I’ve been using this retinol
"I’ve been using this retinol serum from Lalais for a month now, and the results are honestly amazing. My skin looks brighter, smoother, and more balanced than before. What truly impressed me is that, despite having sensitive skin, I experienced no irritation at all, that’s really a rarely seen on my skin. The formula feels lightweight yet powerful, it cleared up my breakouts, reduced dark spots, and gave my complexion a healthy, radiant glow. I like it so much! The blend of three retinoids, vitamin C ester, azelaic acid, and peptides really transforms the skin, making it firmer and more even. Previously I used azelaic acid serum, but it didn’t work as good as this one. It’s the first retinol product that not only targets aging, but also keeps my shine under control. My face now feels fresh, youthful, and full of life and I’m so happy with it!"
First, let me say that
"First, let me say that I’ve tried so many retinols over the years. Most of them never delivered on results. I’m happy to say this one really impressed me. Lalais skincare is a brand I had never heard of before, now they are a brand I won’t forget. The retinol renewal serum is amazing, and I like that it is made for combination/oily acne prone skin. Usually, I wake up to an oily face (especially after using other retinols) but after I used this serum I woke up to a significant improvement in the oiliness. It also seemed to help with clearing a pretty bad breakout that had been plaguing me for weeks. I scar easily even when I don’t pick at blemishes, but it looks like this serum has reduced the severity of that. I also love the texture of this product, it feels kinda silky and absorbs very quickly. I definitely want to purchase more of this after seeing what it can do."
