heimish Marine Care Retinol For Face Serum is a gentle yet effective anti-ageing serum designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity without overwhelming the skin. Formulated with 0.01% Retinol, this beginner-friendly treatment helps smooth texture, refine the look of pores and support firmer-looking skin over time. Size 50ml.
Powered by 5% Niacinamide and 58% Marine Water, the formula helps brighten uneven tone, reduce the look of hyperpigmentation and deliver lasting hydration. A blend of marine extracts including kelp, seaweed and plankton helps support the skin barrier, while panthenol, shea butter and macadamia seed oil nourish and comfort the skin to minimise dryness often associated with retinol use.
The lightweight, creamy-water texture absorbs easily without feeling greasy or heavy, leaving skin feeling smooth, refreshed and hydrated. Skin irritation testing has been completed, making this a suitable option for those new to retinol or with sensitive skin.

It’s gentle yet effective, making it perfect for those new to retinol or with sensitive skin. The creamy texture feels rich and nourishing but absorbs well without leaving a greasy residue.
I noticed an improvement in my skin’s texture after just a couple of weeks. My fine lines look softer, and my overall complexion appears smoother and more radiant. It also includes marine-based ingredients that provide a boost of hydration, so my skin never feels dry or irritated, which can sometimes happen with retinol.
FAQs
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. With 0.01% Retinol, this formula is ideal for those new to retinol or looking for a gentle introduction.
Can I use this every day?
Start 2–3 times per week at night. As your skin builds tolerance, you may increase frequency. Always monitor for sensitivity.
Do I need sunscreen?
Yes. Retinol increases sun sensitivity. Apply SPF daily when using this product.
Will it dry out my skin?
The formula includes marine extracts, niacinamide, panthenol and nourishing oils to help reduce dryness and support the skin barrier.
Can I use this with other active ingredients?
Avoid layering directly with strong exfoliating acids or other retinoids in the same routine unless your skin tolerates it well.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Skin irritation testing has been completed. However, if you have highly reactive skin, patch test first.
