This serum pairs Clinique's peptide blend with hydroxypinacolone retinoate, a gentler retinoid ester, to work on deeper wrinkles without the irritation some people get from traditional retinol. Ascorbyl glucoside adds a vitamin C boost for tone, and sodium hyaluronate keeps skin from feeling tight. The texture is silicone-forward and lightweight, meant to sit under a moisturizer rather than replace one.
