When they’re not booking appointments at Shani Darden’s Beverly Hills studio, stars are treating their famous faces to her top-rated skincare line.
The star esthetician’s clients include everyone from Shay Mitchell to Jennifer Aniston, the latter of whom swears by her original Retinol Reform serum.
And this month, Darden launched an upgraded version of the formula featuring encapsulated retinol “for even more effectiveness with less irritation,” as she tells Page Six Style exclusively.
“Skincare innovation changes and updates over the years, and I always want to be delivering the best of the best,” says the beauty pro, who also added “wrinkle-reducing” tripeptides and brightening prickly pear extract to her hero formula to “target fine lines, uneven texture, and dullness.”
While the product’s designed to be more gentle than many on the market, Darden still recommends using it once a week at first and adding another night each week to build tolerance — along with following it up with hydrating skincare like her lightweight Weightless Oil-Free Moisturizer or richer Hydration Peptide Cream.
