Enables skipping the ‘retinol ladder’ approach
"Over the years, I found myself increasingly frustrated, rotating between over-the-counter and prescription retinoids in search of the right balance between results and tolerance. After years of using 1% prescription vitamin A, I realised that there was some truth in emerging research, that no matter what strength of vitamin A you use, over 6 months or so, the results of each converge.
Most retinoid routines force you to either tolerate irritation or settle for slower results.
Overly aggressive formulas would disrupt my skin, while gentler ones simply didn’t deliver the results I was looking for. At the same time, I was layering multiple retinoids, brightening serums, oils and peptides trying to achieve what should have been possible in one.
I wanted to eliminate that frustration.
To create a single, high-performance treatment that delivers transformativeresults, while remaining gentle enough to use from the start.
That’s how this one-step retinal gel-cream was crafted: powerful, balanced, and designed to work overnight without the need for a retinoid ladder.” - Farah

13 day transformation
“No irritation was caused to my quite sensitive skin and it layers with other products like a dream. Helps to control my acne breakouts, skin is less congested, feels smoother and brighter. I'm usually left with red post-breakout marks for months but they're fading so much faster. Just for a couple of weeks, it's like the spot was never there. Take a look at my transformation, the time between both photos is just two weeks!!” - Edyta
Skin transformation made simple
“Completely transformed my skin. My cheeks and jaw were covered in pimples, I searched for a cure for months until I finally ordered from Sachi. It did the trick. Just look at my before and after. I used TPC every morning and the retinol three nights a week. Simple, effective.” - Jackie
More youthful and radiant
“I have been using it for nearly 2 months now, I was getting so many compliments about my skin, when other people notice, that’s when you know you’re onto a winner. I hope the photos speak louder than any words I could possibly type here. My skin looks more youthful, radiant, even (minimal redness or blemishes) & the texture has improved massively. I love the way that makeup sits even better, thanks to the improved texture of my skin that was my main ‘skin hang up’." - Lauren

"I particularly like the retinal by Sachi Skin which I had the opportunity of using before its recent launch. It combines ursolic acid, bakuchiol and glutathione which are very effective for anti ageing & dark spots."
Dr Adeline Kikam, Dermatologist

"Truly some of the smoothest skin I've had in many years. Pimples are becoming rare, congestion is minimal, and although I didn't have deep fine lines before, my skin is noticeably tighter."

Frequently Asked Questions
First week
In the first week, pores reduce and skin texture visibly improves, for a vibrant and smoother complexion.
Around 4 weeks
Skin tone brightens, and signs of discoloration fade further. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles start to diminish.
Before 12 weeks
After three weeks, Peptides, Vitamin A and Bakuchiol help to visibly firm the skin. Lines and wrinkles appear drastically reduced. The complexion looks plumper, brighter and more even.
Yes! Apply 1-2 times a week until your skin has acclimatised, and avoid exfoliation during the first 2-3 weeks of use.
For initial use, we recommend using it 1-2 times per week. Layer your treatment over a moisturiser (once it has absorbed) to minimise irritation for the first 2 weeks. Afterward, start to use it beneath the moisturiser.
Always perform a patch test before using the product. If no irritation occurs after 24 hours, you can apply the product as directed above and gradually increase frequency.
Our formula contains 0.05% stabilized retinaldehyde. However, the percentage doesn’t tell the full story of our overall formulation. Our formula pairs retinal with liposomal Ursolic Acid and Niosomal Glutathione, as well as Peptides and Bakuchiol, creating a comprehensive, well-optimized formula that further enhances and boosts results, versus relying solely on a singular percentage of a Vitamin A derivative. This combination makes the product gentle yet highly effective in supporting skin renewal and addressing concerns like fine lines, uneven tone, and dullness.
Due to the Retinal (Vitamin A) content, this formula is not recommended if you are pregnant/breastfeeding. Please always consult with your doctor.
For amplified results, we highly recommend you pair Ursolic Acid and Retinal Overnight Reform with Triphala Pigmentation Corrector to directly tackle hyperpigmentation and discoloration issues, brightening and evening skin tone.
You can also incorporate a brightening exfoliant at least once a week as part of your skin cycling routine, such as our Complexion Clarifying Accelerator.
Like a dream: it’s a light gel cream that glides on beautifully.
