Schrammek RetinolRT+ Performance Serum 30ml

Pre-aging serum with retinol-hyaluronic molecule for young skin

Anti-aging skincare doesn’t start at the first wrinkle — it starts with preventing it. That’s exactly what pre-aging is about: preparing and strengthening the skin from the 25th to 30th year of life before signs of aging become clearly visible. Classic retinol products are often too aggressive for younger skin and cause redness, flaking, or irritation. Many people give up before experiencing the real effect of retinol.

Dr Schrammek’s RetinolRT+ Performance Serum solves this problem with HyRetin: an innovative molecule where retinol is directly linked to hyaluronic acid. This allows retinol to work in a controlled and phased way in the skin, with a dermatologically confirmed high tolerance profile. The skin gets all the benefits of retinol — smoother, firmer, finer pores — without the known side effects. Supplemented with the antioxidants rosemary and ferulic acid, this serum is the ideal anti-aging entry for those who want to start early or for those who previously tolerated retinol poorly. Suitable for all skin types.

Benefits

• Innovative retinol-hyaluronic acid molecule (HyRetin) with high skin tolerance
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves elasticity
• Refines enlarged pores and smooths the skin surface
• Regulates sebum production and helps prevent blemishes
• Protects collagen and hyaluronic acid with antioxidants
• Light, fresh texture that absorbs quickly without a greasy layer
• Free from mineral oils, silicones, PEG emulsifiers, and colorants

Active ingredients

HyRetin (Sodium Retinoyl Hyaluronate): The heart of this serum. HyRetin is an innovative molecule where retinol is chemically linked to hyaluronic acid. This linkage ensures a controlled, phased release of retinol into the skin — keeping the effect effective but without the typical irritation, flaking, or redness of classic retinols. HyRetin reduces wrinkles, improves elasticity, and regulates sebum production.

Rosmarinyl™ Glucoside: A powerful antioxidant derived from rosemary that protects collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin from breakdown caused by free radicals and environmental stress. Works synergistically with retinol to combat premature skin aging.

StoppOx® Emulsion (Ethyl Ferulate / ferulic acid): An advanced antioxidant emulsion that delivers ferulic acid — one of the most stable and effective antioxidants in skincare — to the skin. Ferulic acid enhances the effect of vitamin E and protects the skin from UV-induced damage and photoaging.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol & Tocopheryl Acetate): A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals and enhances the effect of Rosmarinyl™ and ferulic acid. Keeps the skin supple and supports its recovery ability.

Hop Extract (Humulus Lupulus): A plant extract with antioxidant and soothing properties. Helps protect the skin and supports an even complexion.

Sunflower Oil (Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil): Rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid. Lightly nourishes the skin without feeling greasy and strengthens the skin barrier, which is especially important when using active ingredients like retinol.

Lactic Acid: Present in a small amount to optimize the serum's pH and gently exfoliate the skin — which promotes the absorption of the other active ingredients.

How to use it

1. Cleanse the skin thoroughly in the morning and/or evening
2. Optionally use a toner suitable for your skin type
3. Apply a few drops of serum to the face, neck, and décolleté
4. Massage in gently and let absorb briefly
5. Follow with your usual day or night cream
6. Always use an SPF of at least 30 in the morning — retinol makes the skin more sensitive to UV radiation

Tip from the skin expert: Unlike classic retinols, this serum can be used both morning and evening thanks to HyRetin. If in doubt, start with evening use only and gradually build up to twice daily when your skin tolerates it well. Combine with the Triple Effect Peeling (1-2x per week, on a separate evening) for a complete pre-aging routine.

Suitable for

• All skin types, including sensitive and combination skin
• Younger skin (from 25-30 years) as a pre-aging entry product
• Mature skin that previously tolerated retinol poorly
• Impure skin that wants to combine anti-aging and sebum regulation
• Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
• First fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and on the forehead
• Who wants to start with retinol without the typical irritation build-up period

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between HyRetin and regular retinol?

Classic retinol must be converted in the skin to retinoic acid — the active end product. This conversion process is often accompanied by irritation, peeling, and redness, especially in the first weeks (the so-called "retinol uglies"). HyRetin is retinol chemically linked to hyaluronic acid, allowing controlled release and dermatologically confirmed high tolerance. You get the benefits without the typical side effects.

When will I see results?

The skin feels smoother and more hydrated from the first week thanks to the hyaluronic acid component. Visible improvements in fine lines, pores, and skin texture are usually noticeable after four to eight weeks of consistent use. Twelve weeks is a realistic timeframe for maximum anti-aging results.

Can I use this serum during the day?

Yes, unlike classic retinols, this serum can be used both morning and evening thanks to its high skin tolerance. Always apply an SPF of at least 30 — retinol makes the skin more sensitive to UV radiation, and sun protection is essential to preserve the anti-aging effect.

Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Skin tolerance is dermatologically confirmed and the serum contains no mineral oils, silicones, PEG emulsifiers, or colorants. For very reactive skin, we recommend starting with every other night use and building up to daily use when the skin tolerates it well.

Can I combine this with other active ingredients like vitamin C or AHAs?

Yes, but preferably not at exactly the same time. Combine vitamin C in the morning with this serum if both are well tolerated, or use vitamin C in the morning and HyRetin in the evening. AHAs like the Triple Effect Peeling are best used on a separate evening to avoid overstimulation.

Does this serum also work against blemishes?

Certainly. HyRetin regulates not only the anti-aging effect but also sebum production and helps prevent clogged pores. This makes this serum especially suitable for those who want to address both anti-aging and sebum regulation — a combination rarely found in other products.

What is the difference with the Hyaluron HY+ Performance Serum?

The Hyaluron HY+ Performance Serum is fully focused on hydration through three types of hyaluronic acid. The RetinolRT+ Performance Serum targets anti-aging through the HyRetin molecule, with retinol as the main active ingredient. Both can be used perfectly together: first the hyaluronic acid serum for hydration, then the retinol serum for anti-aging.
