Anthony Vitamin A Hydrating Facial Lotion (50ml)

A targeted overnight treatment built around one of skincare's most proven actives. Anthony's High Performance Vitamin A Facial Treatment combines retinyl palmitate with shea butter, squalane, and a skin-firming peptide to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, restore elasticity, and leave skin deeply hydrated and satisfyingly smooth.

The formula is designed to work with the skin's natural overnight renewal cycle - promoting collagen production, protecting against environmental pollutants, and delivering the kind of texture improvement that accumulates with consistent use. Free of parabens, phthalates, GMOs, and gluten. Allergy and dermatologist tested.

Who's It For

Anyone looking to address visible signs of ageing - fine lines, loss of firmness, and dullness - with a retinol-based treatment. Best suited to normal, dry, and combination skin types. Recommended for PM use.

Key Benefits

• Firms and Smooths - Retinyl palmitate promotes collagen production and accelerates cell turnover, reducing the visible depth of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
• Deeply Hydrating - Shea butter and squalane deliver rich, lasting moisture that leaves skin soft, supple, and comfortable through the night.
• Supports Skin Elasticity - Consistent use helps restore the skin's structural integrity and reduce visible sagging or loss of firmness.
• Protects Against Pollutants - The formula's antioxidant base helps defend skin from environmental stressors during the overnight recovery window.
• Improves Skin Texture - Carrot extract supports cell renewal and brightens the complexion, adding a further dimension to the treatment's anti-ageing action.
• Peptide Support - Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 helps reinforce the skin's extracellular matrix, working alongside retinol to firm and retexturise. 

Key Ingredients

• Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate/Carrot Polypeptide) - Helps speed up healing, prevent breakouts, support the skin's immune system, and promote natural moisture retention. A gentler retinol derivative suited to daily use.
• Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) - Deeply nourishing with anti-inflammatory properties that boost moisture, support healing, and help prevent breakouts.
• Squalane - A lightweight, skin-identical emollient that reduces the appearance of fine lines, moisturises deeply, and softens skin texture without irritation.
• Carrot Extract (Retinyl Palmitate/Carrot Polypeptide) - Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, helps improve cell turnover, brighten the complexion, and calm inflammation.
• Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 - A firming peptide that supports the skin's extracellular matrix and works alongside vitamin A to improve structural integrity over time.
• Glycerin - A humectant that draws moisture into the skin and maintains hydration levels throughout the overnight treatment window. 

How To Use

Apply to clean skin in the evening as the final step before sleep. Smooth onto face and neck using upward and outward motions. For PM use only. Follow with an SPF moisturiser in the morning.

Why MASC Recommends This

Retinol is one of the most evidence-backed ingredients in skincare for addressing fine lines and loss of firmness - and retinyl palmitate offers a gentler entry point that's well-tolerated for regular use. The addition of shea butter and squalane in this formula means the treatment works without drying the skin out overnight, which is a common drawback of standalone retinol products. The inclusion of Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 adds a firming dimension that complements the vitamin A activity rather than duplicating it.
