The brand's answer to retinol, built on marine plant extracts rather than a vitamin A derivative. Bidens pilosa is the ingredient doing the work in that comparison and it turns up in a handful of serious formulas elsewhere, usually described as a plant retinol alternative, which is the brand's framing and not a claim we are making for it. Sea fennel and sea daffodil are the other two, and goji sits on top as the antioxidant.
