How to use

Night-time use only.

Apply to cleansed, dry skin at night before any other moisturiser or serum.
Use one full pump to cover the entire face.
Wait for sk.in flash to be completely absorbed before applying any other topical products, such as sk.in bounce and sk.in marvel.
Remember to always apply an SPF of 30 or higher that contains Zinc Oxide and/or Titanium Dioxide the following morning.

If this is your first time using sk.in flash, please follow the introductory phase skin regime instructions below.

The introductory phase skin regime

Use every third night for the first two weeks, followed by every second night for an additional two weeks.
If no skin reaction occurs continue to apply sk.in flash every night.
Start with the lowest strength first flash 1 (0.6%), and slowly move up to the higher strengths of Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate in flash 2 and flash 3 (1.0% and 2.0%).
If any sensitivity is experienced, stop using the product until the skin has completely recovered, then repeat the introductory phase described above.
Your skin will then begin to acclimatize to the Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate.
Always use a sunblock with an SPF of 30 or higher that contains Zinc Oxide and/or Titanium Dioxide during the day when using this product.

Features & Benefits

Level 3 – Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (Granactive Retinol) 2.0%, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate 2% (BVOSC lipid soluble Vitamin C), Vitamin E 2%, Ceramides 2%, and Hyaluronic Acid Complex 5%.

All sk.in flash products are designed to deliver a potent repair shot and counteract the signs of UV sun damage and intrinsic skin ageing. Specifically designed for improving skin texture and hydration, sk.in flash minimizes pore size, increases collagen production, diminishes pigmentation, and improves fine lines and wrinkles. sk.in flash can be used by all skin types.

sk.in flash 3 has been specifically designed to act as a maximum strength anti-ageing and repair shot for the skin and should be used once a full course of nightly sk.in flash 2 has been completed without any skin sensitivity or reactions. sk.in flash 3 can be used by all skin types and contains a Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate strength of 2%.

Skin types: dry, normal, combination, oily, acne, sensitive.

Skin condition: fine lines and wrinkles, textured skin, hyperpigmentation, mature skin, sallow and dull complexion, oily or acne prone skin.

Application: evening application.

The ingredient formula combines Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Vitamins C & E, Ceramides, and Hyaluronic Acid. These ingredients have a combined affect in reducing the signs of ageing including fine lines and wrinkles, repairing the skin barrier, diminishing hyperpigmentation, protecting the skin against environmental free radical damage, and improving hydration.

sk.in flash 3 will last 2.5 to 3 months if the recommended regime is followed with a single daily use. This product spreads very easily so only 1 pump is required for the entire face. Please see product insert for further info on how to apply.

I also started with Flash 2 and thought I’d try Flash 3 and what a fabulous product, shrinks appearance of pores and skin looks fresh and dewy!

I really liked this retinol, I started with Flash 2 and when I finished the bottle I bought Flash 3.
I was able to use it every night, it did not dry out my skin.
It made my pores appear smaller, and it did improve the overall appearance of my skin

Bought this for my husband and he swears by it. Says it’s the most important part of his skincare routine and he cannot do without it. He doesn’t have sensitive skin at all though, and went straight to Flash 3 without easing his skin in with Flash 1 or Flash 2… probably not the recommended route, but thankfully it worked out okay!

Kate (verified owner) – 20/09/2021

Absolutely love this product. Absorbs quickly, no residue, light on the skin. Has helped significantly with both the texture of my skin and pigmentation concerns, building up from Flash 1 onwards. Recommend clearly following the application instructions to avoid overly sensitive skin as it can take a while for the skin to adjust between levels.

Purchased this for my husband and he says it may be a bit early as he has just started using the product, but he can already see a difference and would certainly repurchase!

I had been using retinol for about 2.5 years when I decided to try the sk.in flash 3. I was blown away within 2 weeks of alternate night use. It took my skin from alright to great great. It elevated it to another level. I didn’t know my skin could look this beautiful, bright and blemish free. It will be a definite staple in my beauty regime for life. ♥️
