Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSRetinyl Palmitate 2%Promising
A stabilised ester form of retinol (vitamin A combined with palmitic acid). Gentler than pure retinol but requires three metabolic conversion steps to become active retinoic acid in the skin, making it less potent but also less irritating.
- Type: Retinol ester — three steps removed from active retinoic acid (tretinoin)
- Benefit: Promotes collagen synthesis and cell turnover to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation
- Stability: More stable than pure retinol, making it suitable for serums without encapsulation
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C) ActiveProven
A stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C that is gentler than L-ascorbic acid. Provides antioxidant protection, helps brighten skin, and supports collagen production. Also shown to have antibacterial properties beneficial for acne-prone skin.
- Stability: More stable than L-ascorbic acid when exposed to light and oxygen
- Benefit: Blocks melanin production to reduce dark spots and brighten overall skin tone
- Synergy: Works with vitamin E and ferulic acid to enhance antioxidant protection
Ferulic Acid ActiveProven
A potent plant-derived antioxidant (from rice bran) that stabilises and enhances the effectiveness of vitamins C and E. Approved as a sunscreen ingredient in Japan at concentrations up to 10%.
- Synergy: Doubles the photoprotection of vitamins C and E when used together (SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic study)
- Benefit: Neutralises free radicals and helps even skin tone
- Source: Derived from rice bran — a natural antioxidant powerhouse
Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) 0.1–0.3%Proven
The sodium salt form of hyaluronic acid, a powerful humectant that can hold up to 1000x its weight in water. Smaller molecular weight than hyaluronic acid allows deeper penetration into the skin for plumping hydration.
- Hydration: Attracts and binds moisture to the upper layers of the skin
- Tip: Apply to damp skin and follow with a moisturiser to seal in hydration
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Liquorice Root) Extract ActivePromising
A soothing botanical extract with skin-lightening and anti-inflammatory properties. Contains glabridin, which inhibits tyrosinase to reduce melanin production. Excellent for calming redness and rosacea-prone skin.
- Brightening: Inhibits melanin production to help reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation
- Soothing: Anti-inflammatory action calms irritated and redness-prone skin
Anethum Graveolens (Dill) Herb Extract ActivePromising
A botanical extract that promotes elastin regeneration to enhance skin resilience and firmness. Helps combat signs of ageing by supporting the skin's structural proteins beyond just collagen.
- Elastin: Helps regenerate elastin fibres for improved skin bounce and firmness
- Anti-ageing: Complements retinol's collagen-boosting effects for comprehensive skin renewal

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEBest used in the PM routine. Apply to clean, damp skin before moisturiser. Always follow with SPF 30+ during the day. Go easy on AHAs and BHAs while using this retinol serum.
How to use
HOW TO USECleanse Your Face
Start with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities. Pat skin until slightly damp — the serum absorbs better on damp skin.
Apply a Few Drops
Dispense 3–4 drops onto your fingertips and gently press into the skin, concentrating on areas with blemishes, fine lines, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. Avoid the eye area.
Follow With Moisturiser
Allow the serum to absorb for 1–2 minutes, then layer your favourite moisturiser on top to seal in hydration and actives.
Start Slowly & Build Up
If you are new to retinol, begin with 2–3 times per week and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin builds tolerance. Always apply SPF 30+ in the morning.
Who is it for?
WHOPerfect for you if:
- You want to start with a gentle retinoid that is less irritating than pure retinol
- You have fine lines, early signs of ageing, or sun damage
- You struggle with hyperpigmentation, dark spots, or uneven skin tone
- You want a multi-tasking serum with antioxidants (vitamins C, E, ferulic acid)
- You have blemish-prone or acne-scarred skin
- You prefer clean, vegan, cruelty-free formulations
Consider alternatives if:
- You are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding
- You have fungal acne (malassezia) — this formula is not FA-safe
- You need a high-potency retinol (pure retinol or retinal) for deep wrinkles
- You are under 18 years old
- You are very sensitive to any form of vitamin A
- You want a fragrance-free formula with zero natural scent (this has a mild herbal smell)
Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESLightweight, oil-free formula absorbs quickly without adding shine. Contains salicylic acid (BHA) to help control excess sebum and refine pores.
Glycerin and hyaluronic acid provide hydration, but you will need a richer moisturiser on top. Retinol may initially cause dryness or flaking.
Balances well across different face zones. Light enough for the T-zone while providing hydration to drier cheeks. Great all-rounder.
Retinyl palmitate is gentler than pure retinol, and liquorice root calms inflammation. Still recommended to patch test and introduce gradually.
Low comedogenic rating (1/5) and contains BHA + AHA for mild exfoliation. Not fungal acne safe due to oleic acid esters in the formula.
Results timeline
MONTH 3+Brighter, Smoother Complexion

Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPES
Uses pure retinol (more potent than retinyl palmitate) in a squalane oil base. Simpler formula with only 8 ingredients — no vitamin C, no AHA/BHA, no botanical extracts. Better for experienced retinol users on a strict budget.
Contains encapsulated retinol plus niacinamide and ceramides for barrier repair. More hydrating and soothing, but lacks the vitamin C, ferulic acid, and botanical extracts found in Regenacalm. Better for sensitive, dry skin.
Affordable UK-made retinol serum with pure retinol at 0.5%. Contains rosehip seed oil for added nourishment. Lacks the antioxidant triple shield (C+E+Ferulic) and exfoliating acids of Regenacalm.

Frequently asked questions
FAQNo. This product contains retinyl palmitate (a form of vitamin A/retinoid) and salicylic acid, both of which are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The brand explicitly states: do not use this product if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor for pregnancy-safe skincare alternatives.
No. The formula contains polyglyceryl-4 oleate (an oleic acid ester) and glyceryl caprylate, which can feed the malassezia yeast responsible for fungal acne. If you are prone to fungal acne, look for serums specifically labelled as malassezia-safe or check ingredient lists on tools like SkinSort or Folliculitis Scout.
This serum already contains retinyl palmitate (retinoid), vitamin C, lactic acid (AHA), and salicylic acid (BHA) in carefully balanced concentrations. Layering additional retinol, strong vitamin C (like L-ascorbic acid), or concentrated AHA/BHA products on top may cause irritation, dryness, or over-exfoliation. FaceTheory recommends going easy on additional exfoliating acids while using this serum. If you want to use other actives, alternate them on different nights.
This serum works well for most skin types including oily, combination, dry, and sensitive skin. It is especially well-suited for oily and combination skin due to its lightweight, fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture. Those with dry skin should pair it with a richer moisturiser. Sensitive skin types should introduce gradually and patch test first, though the retinyl palmitate form is gentler than pure retinol.
Most users notice brighter, smoother skin within the first 1–2 weeks due to the vitamin C and gentle AHA/BHA exfoliation. Improvements in hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and fine lines typically become visible after 6–8 weeks of consistent use. Full anti-ageing benefits (wrinkle reduction, improved firmness) generally require 3+ months of regular application.
Apply after cleansing and toning, but before moisturiser. Use on clean, slightly damp skin for best absorption. This serum is best used in the PM (evening) routine since retinol increases sun sensitivity. Always apply SPF 30+ sunscreen in the morning. You can use it on its own or layer your favourite moisturiser on top.
This serum has a low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5. It is oil-free, silicone-free, and does not contain heavy pore-clogging ingredients. The formula includes salicylic acid (BHA) which actually helps unclog pores. Most users report it does not cause breakouts. However, some may experience purging (temporary breakouts) in the first 2–4 weeks as retinol accelerates cell turnover — this is normal and should resolve.
The recommended Period After Opening (PAO) is 6 months. Since the formula contains retinol and vitamin C — both of which degrade with exposure to light, air, and heat — store the amber glass bottle in a cool, dark place (such as a drawer or cabinet). If the serum changes colour significantly or develops an off smell beyond its normal mild herbal scent, it may have oxidised and should be replaced.
Verdict: FaceTheory Regenacalm 2% Retinol and Vitamin C Serum S1 is a well-formulated, multi-tasking serum that delivers an impressive combination of anti-ageing, brightening, and skin-soothing actives in a clean, vegan formula. The antioxidant triple shield of vitamins C, E, and ferulic acid adds genuine value over simpler retinol serums. However, the retinyl palmitate form of retinol is less potent than pure retinol — experienced retinol users seeking stronger results may want to upgrade to the Regenacalm Pro (3% encapsulated retinol) or a pure retinol alternative. Best suited for retinol beginners, those with sensitive skin wanting a gentle introduction to vitamin A, and anyone looking for a multi-benefit serum that targets ageing, hyperpigmentation, and blemishes simultaneously.

Understanding Simple Alcohols
Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue. However, for some people with sensitive and easily irritable skin, avoiding products with these simple alcohols may be beneficial.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
