What is it?

A luxurious retinoid night oil blended with fast-acting retinols in a base of cold-pressed, organic and steam-distilled oils.

What does it do?
Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while nourishing and hydrating the skin.

Why is it different?
A luxurious formulation which combines fast-acting and absorbent retinoids so that the actives are effective at low concentration.
The risk of irritation commonly associated with retinoid products is eliminated without compromising the benefits. Supported by a base of cold-pressed grape seed oil, Superstar feels light and nourishing on the skin.
Contains HPR, a new generation of retinoid which has been proven to be less irritating to skin. This form of retinol is already broken down into a form that is easily absorbed by the skin so gets to work on your skin immediately.

What is retinol?

Retinol, or vitamin A, is a powerful anti-ageing ingredient that accelerates skin-renewal and smooths fine lines and wrinkles.

Why Hyroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR)?

HPR is a new generation retinoid which delivers all the benefits of retinol without the risk of irritation. It is in a form that is quickly and easily absorbed by the skin which means it gets to work immediately, reversing signs of ageing, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and boosting collagen production.

Great - but packaging lets it down

Such a great product – I’m on my FOURTH bottle, I just love it so much. One bottle lasts around 10-12 ish months when used 3 times a week, which is great because I don’t need to worry about the retinoid expiring.

It evens out my skin tone, adds a lovely plumpness to my skin and I don’t have wrinkles since using it.

The only downside.

One of the things I love most about this brand is their commitment to sustainability, the amount of waste I generate matters a lot to me. But the new packaging, while laudable, is simply not as good. The oil squirts out unevenly and splatters the product, which is just a different kind of waste.

I save up to buy this product, I’m happy to, and I’m so proud to support a brand that commits to doing better, but this packaging needs some more work.

AMAZING!

I rarely review anything but this. This is the ONLY serum I’ve ever tried that pretty much instantly changed my skin. Pores are reduced, skin glowing and just beautiful skin. I LOVE this product and will definitely repurchase! I’ve also bought the hyaluronic acid serum, and my skin feels plump and hydrated. I am now a big fan of pestle and mortar products and I think they’ll be a staple in my skincare routine. Can’t wait to try out some of the other products.

SHOULD I PUT MY MOISTURIZER ON AFTER THE OIL?

I have just bought this oil but not sure if I should put my moisturizer on after the oil and if yes, do I need to wait before putting the moisturizers on or should I put moisturizer on straight after applying oil ?

Response from Pestle & Mortar UK Retail

Hi Debra,

Thank you for your purchase.

Yes, you can apply your moisturiser after Superstar night oil. You can apply it straight after.

Please let us know if you have any other questions

I LOVE IT!

Hands down the best retinol I have tried! It’s not irritating, it hasn’t dried out my already dry skin, I haven’t peeled from using it and as a result my skin is smoother and more even toned. I love it!
