Retinol is a skincare hero for good reason and Common Heir is improving upon its best features with it Retinol Serum. These [single-dose skincare capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daily-microdose-serum) are useful for visibly renewing skin, all the while offering extra support and soothing benefits from ingredients like squalane and algae oil. The luxe capsules are meant to be applied nightly by squeezing their contents onto a clean, toned face and neck.

This standout single-dose skincare product is not only packaged in biodegradable, vegan capsules, its formula was thoughtfully made with melanated skin in mind. As the brand describes, "We came across few studies or retinol trials for those with darker skin, so introduced our own. The results: a skincare ritual all can indulge in."

These [retinol capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retinoid-collection) are approachable, nourishing and safe for [sensitive skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensitive-retinol-oil), leading for them to be called "the first retinol made for us all."
