Ten years in the making I was so excited when the Tropic Skincare Youth Potion launched. The world’s first certified natural retinal and it sounded a promising skincare hero. Retinal is an essential for many of us as we progress in our skincare routines. From improving texture and tone to smoothing and brightening the skins appearance it’s a staple for many. I have been using it in my routine for two months. If you are looking for a gentle active to add into your routine keep reading to find out more!
What is really exciting about the Tropic Skincare Youth Potion is that it uses advanced marine retinal which works 10 times faster than retinal. Resulting in a potent and skin benefitting treatment without the harsh reactions Retinal can cause for some. It comes in a luxurious golden glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The pump is smooth and easy to use giving the perfect amount for application whilst the glass protects the active goodness enclosed.
What the Tropic Skincare Youth Potion Promises:
- A dual-phase oil and supercharged serum combining the best of science and nature
- Brighten and even skin tone
- Increase collagen production and improve skin elasticity
- Smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines

Key Ingredients:
- Advanced Marine Retinal – a revolutionary form of Vitamin A which works 10x quicker that retinol without losing any of its benefits. It increases collagen production, improves skin texture whilst being gentle on the skin. A great option for those with sensitive skin.
- Plant Peptides – repair the skin barrier whilst smoothing texture and improving elasticity giving the skin a brighter and firmer appearance
- Bakuchiol – a natural and gentler alternative to retinol it stimulates collagen production helping to reduce signs of skin ageing
Review
The Youth Potion is a unique serum which has an oily texture to it feeling luxuriously smooth once on my skin. A couple of pumps is all I need for a full application (remember to shake it to activate) and it feels incredibly gentle on my skin, absorbing easily. It has fitted easily into my routine and I find it works best applied after my hydrating serum and before I moisturise. A quick worker giving my skin a brighter and more radiant appearance which is always great to wake up with. Overtime it has reduced the appearance of my redness and the fine lines near my eyes which is fantastic!
My skin type is normal, dehydrated with redness and rosacea. Due to my rosacea I am cautious with actives to avoid reactions. Personally I have experienced no irritation or discomfort. As a result I have increased use from two to three times a week. I do recommend those with sensitive skin patch test first, gradually increasing use as the skin becomes more tolerant. It has a wonderful refreshing scent which is subtle and compliments it perfectly adding a lux feeling to the experience. This is a highly effective serum which has given my skin a healthier, brighter and more even appearance. My skin feels more supple and hydrated . If you are looking for a gentle retinol treatment for your routine The Youth Potion ticks the boxes!
