RetinO₂™
Stabilized Retinol + Bakuchiol + Oxygen-Supporting Bioferment
Luzern’s advanced nighttime renewal complex combines stabilized retinol, bakuchiol, and an oxygen-supporting bioferment to visibly smooth lines, refine texture, and support firmer, more radiant-looking skin.
Why This Complex Matters
Retinol is one of skincare’s most established ingredients for improving the visible signs of aging—but the quality of a retinol formula depends on much more than simply adding retinol.
RetinO₂™ takes a multi-active approach, combining stabilized retinol with bakuchiol and an oxygen-supporting yeast bioferment. Each plays a complementary role, creating a more complete approach to visible lines, uneven texture, loss of firmness, and dullness.
Rather than using bakuchiol instead of retinol, Luzern brings the two together within an advanced nighttime renewal system.
Why Formulation Matters
More retinol isn’t necessarily better retinol.
Its stability, supporting actives, and overall formulation environment all influence how retinol performs within a skincare formula.
RetinO₂™ begins with stabilized retinol and pairs it with bakuchiol—a complementary age-defying active selected to work alongside the retinol system—and an oxygen-supporting yeast bioferment that helps support a fresh, revitalized-looking complexion.
The oxygen-supporting bioferment is also a foundational technology within Luzern’s Oxygen MFC™ Multi-Fermentation Complex. In RetinO₂™, it becomes part of a targeted nighttime renewal system built around retinol and bakuchiol.
It’s an example of how Luzern uses the same advanced technology differently depending on the purpose of the finished formulation.
Formulation Changes Everything.
How Luzern Uses It
RetinO₂™ is the signature renewal technology in Crème Nuit, Luzern’s advanced overnight moisturizer.
Rather than building the formula around retinol alone, Luzern combines stabilized retinol, bakuchiol, and an oxygen-supporting bioferment to target the appearance of lines, uneven texture, loss of firmness, and dullness.
Crème Nuit further supports this renewal system with Oxygen MFC™, Luzern’s Multi-Fermentation Complex, which brings additional hydration and antioxidant support to help maintain a smoother, fresher, more radiant appearance overnight.
RetinO₂™ remains the primary renewal technology at the heart of Crème Nuit, while Oxygen MFC™ provides complementary hydration, antioxidant defense, and visible vitality.
