Shihan 3-Phase Retinoid Renewal System (60 Days)

A progressive retinoid program designed for visible smoothing, refining, and firming — without the typical harsh “retinol crash.”

Most retinol products hit the skin with one strength, one formula, and hope for the best. Shihan's 3-Phase Retinoid Renewal System is different: it's a smart, step-by-step program that gradually builds results over 60 days while supporting the skin with hydration and lightweight, barrier-loving lipids.

Each 20-day phase is carefully calibrated to help your skin adjust, so you can experience a more polished, youthful-looking complexion with less dryness and irritation than a one-size-fits-all retinol.

Why This System Is Better Than a Typical Retinol

1. Multiple forms of Vitamin A for high performance with lower stress

The formula uses advanced retinoids working together:

• Retinol — the classic gold-standard for visible lines, texture, and tone
• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) — a next-level retinoid with strong smoothing benefits and a more comfortable feel
• Retinyl Propionate — supports refined texture and the look of firmness with improved tolerability

2. Built-in hydration and cushioning

• Glycerin + Sodium Hyaluronate — keep skin plump and hydrated
• Squalane + Lecithin — soften and support the skin barrier for a silky, less-dry finish

3. Delivery technology that helps it work

Dimethyl Isosorbide optimizes how retinoids deliver into the skin — so you get results with a refined, elegant texture.

4. The 3-Phase approach reduces the “retinol rollercoaster”

Instead of over-peeling or flaking early, the phases help the skin adapt gradually for more consistent, predictable results.

What Each Phase Does

Phase 1 (Days 1–20): Adapt + Awaken — Skin begins the renewal process and adjusts to vitamin A. Complexion looks smoother, brighter, and more even.

Phase 2 (Days 21–40): Refine + Strengthen — Builds on early progress. Skin appears more refined, pores look smaller, and tone looks more even.

Phase 3 (Days 41–60): Rejuvenate + Reveal — Supports the most visible transformation. Skin looks firmer, polished, and youthful, with softened fine lines.

How to Use

Apply at night to clean, dry skin, following each phase's instructions (20 days each). Always follow with a Shihan moisturizer. Wear SPF every morning while using retinoids. Use 2–3 times per year (about every 4–6 months) for a complete skin reset.
