Sold here and nowhere else

Veloura is only sold on this site. If you find it on a marketplace, it did not come from us — and we cannot stand behind what is in the bottle.

Description

A tightening serum built on pure Vitamin A — retinol at 0.1%, not a retinol derivative — with a 9 Peptide Complex and 1% Panthenol.

The nine peptides work on elasticity while the retinol works on the look of fine lines, uneven texture and the appearance of pores.

Lightweight and fast-absorbing. Formulated in Korea. 30 ml / 1 fl oz.

What makes it different

Three actives at strengths printed on the bottle: Retinol 0.1%, a 9 Peptide Complex, and Panthenol 1%.

It is pure retinol, not a retinol derivative — a derivative has to be converted before skin can use any of it.

“9 Peptide Complex” is not a marketing phrase here. All nine are named in the ingredients below, and they include Copper Tripeptide-1 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 — two of the most studied peptides in skincare.

It arrives in an opaque pump bottle, which keeps the retinol away from the light that degrades it. A clear dropper bottle lets light in every time it is opened.

Formulated and made in Korea.

How to use

Night use only.

New to vitamin A? Every other night for the first two weeks. Once your skin has settled, you can move to every evening.

Two or three pumps, spread evenly over the face and neck, then your moisturiser. Avoid the immediate eye area, and wash your hands afterwards.

If it stings or flakes, use less and use it less often, and follow with a soothing moisturiser — do not push through it.

SPF 30 or higher the next morning, as the last step of your routine.

Read before using

A slight tingle on application is normal with an active at this strength. Stinging, burning or flaking is not — cut back if that happens.

If your skin is reactive, patch test on the jaw for a few nights first.

Do not use on the same night as an exfoliating acid or a second vitamin A product — including the Retinal Booster.

Avoid contact with the eyes. Wash your hands after applying.

Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Store away from direct light and heat. For external use only.

Shipping and returns

Free shipping on every order.

Free 30 days return, counted from the day it reaches you.

HOW TO USE IT

Three steps, and one rule

  1. 1

    Clean, dry skin. At night.

    Two or three pumps across the face and neck after cleansing, avoiding the immediate eye area. Wash your hands afterwards, then moisturise. Night use only.

  2. 2

    Build up slowly

    Every other night for the first two weeks. Once your skin has settled, move to every evening. If it stings or flakes, use less and less often — do not push through it.

  3. 3

    SPF every morning

    Retinol leaves skin more sensitive to daylight. SPF 30 or higher every morning, without exception — otherwise you undo the work overnight.

Try it. If it is not for you, send it back free

Vitamin A is a commitment — a few weeks before you see much, and a routine you have to build up to. So the risk should not be yours. Every order comes with a free 30-day return.

WHAT YOU ARE BUYING

For skin that wants vitamin A without the fortnight of flaking that usually comes with it:

  • Softens the look of fine lines
  • Firmer, more elastic-looking skin
  • Refined texture and smaller-looking pores
  • Gentle enough to build into a nightly routine

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions we get asked

Should I choose this or the Retinal Booster?

Both are vitamin A, both at 0.1%, both buffered with 1% Panthenol. Retinol is the gentler, more familiar route and the better starting point if you have not used vitamin A before, or if your skin reacts easily. Retinal converts in fewer steps, so it tends to move faster — better suited to skin that has already been through a retinol.

They are not meant to be used together on the same night.

How soon will I see a difference?

Texture and glow usually shift first, somewhere around three to four weeks. Fine lines and firmness take longer, because retinol works by renewal rather than by coating the skin. Give it a full 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use before you judge it.

I tried retinol before and it irritated me. Will this be different?

It may well be, but do not assume it. The 0.1% dose is buffered with 1% Panthenol specifically to reduce stinging and flaking — and the build-up schedule above exists for the same reason. Start at two nights a week, not nightly. If your skin is reactive, patch test on the jaw for a few nights first.

Can I use it around my eyes?

Not up to the lash line. Stay on the orbital bone — the skin inside that is too thin for a retinol at this strength. If the eye area is your main concern, the Collagen Hydrogel Eye Patch is formulated for it.

Can I use it with my other products?

Yes — on clean, dry skin, before your moisturiser. What to avoid is doubling up: do not use it on the same night as an exfoliating acid or a second vitamin A product.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Vitamin A derivatives are generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We would rather lose the sale than give you the wrong answer here — please ask your doctor, and leave this one on the shelf in the meantime.

Where is it made?

Formulated and manufactured in Korea.
