Retinol Power. Serious Renewal.

Meet Serious Skincare A Force, the high-performance retinol serum concentrate with a name coined by Sylvester Stallone—because when it comes to fighting the visible signs of aging, your skincare needs a little force behind it.

This lightweight, easy-to-wear serum features micronized, time-released stabilized retinol, designed to deliver a controlled, steady release of Vitamin A to the skin. The advanced delivery system supports continuous skin renewal while helping improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture and visible sun damage.

With consistent use, A Force helps encourage healthy-looking cellular turnover while supporting the skin’s natural collagen and elastin, revealing a complexion that appears smoother, firmer, more refined and beautifully renewed.

The result? Fresh, radiant, younger-looking skin with an ageless glow.

    I love this retinol elixir. It’s hydrating and I notice a difference. Makes my skin look more plump and hydrated. This is my daily regimen. I use this under their great retinol cream.
