Wake up to smoother, more radiant skin that feels renewed, firm, and beautifully refined.

Powered by 1% stabilized Retinyl Palmitate, this dermatologist-developed night cream supports cellular renewal and collagen synthesis while a calming complex of Niacinamide, DNA-repairing Cassia Alata Leaf Extract (DN-Age®), Vitamin E, and nourishing lipids helps strengthen the barrier and maintain comfort.

Each evening, it works in harmony with your skin’s natural regeneration cycle to soften lines, even tone, and reveal a visibly stronger, more youthful complexion by morning.

D’Lumiere’s Age Defence Cream – Vitamin A 1% works overnight to renew and fortify the skin while maintaining comfort and balance.

At its core, Retinyl Palmitate, a stabilized derivative of Vitamin A, is enzymatically converted into retinoic acid within the skin — where it helps stimulate collagen production, encourage gentle cellular turnover, and smooth fine lines and uneven texture.

DNA-repairing Cassia Alata Leaf Extract (DN-Age®) assists in repairing UV-induced damage and strengthening the skin’s natural resilience, while Niacinamide helps reinforce the barrier and enhance retinoid tolerability.

A restorative blend of Vitamin E, Sunflower Oil, and Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides replenishes essential lipids and shields against oxidative stress, ensuring visible renewal without dryness or irritation.

The result is skin that feels firmer, calmer, and deeply hydrated, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion by morning.

  • Use only in the evening after cleansing and toning.

  • Apply a pea-sized amount to the face and neck, avoiding the eye and lip areas.

  • Begin with 2–3 applications per week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin acclimates.

  • Always wear SPF protection during the day, as Vitamin A increases sun sensitivity.

  • Avoid combining with other retinoids, AHAs, or BHAs unless directed by a skincare professional.

  • If dryness or mild flaking occurs, follow with a hydrating moisturizer and reduce frequency until skin adjusts.

  • Do not use while pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Patch test before first full use, especially on reactive or sensitized skin.

  • Your skin will adapt gently over time — with consistency, results become smoother, firmer, and beautifully renewed.

Questions? We’ve got you.

What makes the D’Lumiere Age Defence Cream different from regular retinol products?
This formula was engineered to deliver all the visible benefits of Vitamin A without the harshness many retinoids cause.

It pairs a stabilized 1% Retinyl Palmitate with Niacinamide, Vitamin E, hydrating lipids, and DNA-repairing Cassia Alata Leaf Extract (DN-Age®) to support renewal while keeping the skin calm, balanced, and comfortable.
How does it help with fine lines, texture, and firmness?
Retinyl Palmitate supports collagen production and speeds up cellular renewal, smoothing fine lines and uneven texture over time.

Niacinamide reinforces the barrier, while DNA-repairing Cassia Alata Leaf Extract (DN-Age®) helps reduce the impact of UV-related damage — giving your skin a smoother, firmer, more revitalized look with consistent use.
Is the 1% Vitamin A too strong for sensitive skin?
No — it was intentionally formulated to be effective yet gentle.

The combination of Niacinamide, hydrating lipids, Vitamin E, and DNA-repairing Cassia Alata Leaf Extract (DN-Age®) helps buffer Vitamin A’s intensity, making it suitable even for skin that normally struggles with retinoids.

If you're very sensitive, start 2–3 nights per week and increase gradually.
How long will it take to see results?
Most users begin noticing smoother, softer skin within two weeks.

Visible improvements in fine lines, firmness, and tone typically appear within 4–6 weeks as collagen production increases and new, healthy skin emerges.

With continued use, results become more refined and long-lasting.
Can I use this with other active ingredients?
Yes — but with a little strategy.

Use your AHA or exfoliating acids on alternate nights, not in the same routine.

In the morning, pair it with Antioxidant Day Serum for added radiance and protection, and always follow with SPF.

Niacinamide in the formula also makes it much easier to layer Vitamin A comfortably.
Will it cause dryness or peeling?
A mild adjustment phase is normal with any Vitamin A.

However, this formula includes hydrating lipids, Niacinamide, and DNA-repairing Cassia Alata Leaf Extract (DN-Age®) to keep the skin balanced.

If you experience dryness, just reduce frequency briefly — your skin will adjust.
How does it support long-term skin health?
Retinyl Palmitate encourages healthy renewal, Niacinamide strengthens the barrier, and Vitamin E provides antioxidant defense.

At the same time, DNA-repairing Cassia Alata Leaf Extract (DN-Age®) supports natural DNA repair, helping the skin recover from daily UV-induced stress.

Together, they keep your complexion resilient, firm, and more evenly toned over time.
Can I use it around the eyes?
Use caution around the eye area — the skin there is delicate.

If your eyes tolerate Vitamin A well, you can apply a very thin layer around the orbital bone, but avoid the lash line.

If sensitivity occurs, keep the product strictly to the face and neck.
Is it safe for pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No — Vitamin A (retinoids) are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Please avoid using any retinoid products during this period unless cleared by your healthcare provider.
Can men use this product?
Absolutely — Vitamin A is universally effective.

Its lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly, making it ideal for all skin types, including thicker or oilier male skin.
How should I apply it?
Apply at night to clean, dry skin — one to two pumps for face and neck.

Follow with a moisturizer if you need extra hydration.

Always wear SPF the next morning, as Vitamin A increases sun sensitivity.
Are D’Lumiere products cruelty-free and made in Australia?
Always.

Each D’Lumiere formula is cruelty-free, dermatologist-developed, and made in Australia under strict clean-beauty and clinical-grade standards.
