about our novA oil

Everyone can benefit from advanced strength Vitamin A with our step-up system of Retinoid Stars available in two strengths. Our 100% active advanced strength NovA Oil delivers supercharged Vitamin A in an unprecedented power-triad of 4% Granactive Retinoid combined with naturally occurring trans-retinoic acid from rosehip oil and 1% bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative. These A-list healthy ageing superstars have been cocooned in an antioxidant, soothing blend of botanical oils to nourish the skin, calm down inflammation and counteract dryness.

Itโ€™s a delicate balance your skin is going to love.

Whereas retinol and retinal require conversion to their active form in the skin, Granactive Retinoids bind directly to retinoid receptors. This means that they work faster and better to boost collagen production, lighten pigmentation and treat breakouts.

Retinoids can be divas but our NovA Oilโ€™s supporting casts lull them (and your skin) into tranquil and glowing surrender.

Punicic acid derived from pomegranates and chamazulene from Blue Tansy team with all-star multivitamins and essential fatty acids from rosehip and almond seeds to soothe and nurture the skin.

The result: luminous, clear and more youthful skin.

This skincare celeb is going to wow your nightstand.

How to Use

The first step in our Retinoid Star System. Start with the NovA Oil and slowly transition to the SupernovA Oil to build up tolerance. Apply a few drops at night as the last step in your regimen. Rub your palms together to activate the botanical super-ingredients then gently press your warmed hands over the face, neck and dรฉcolletage. Using the heels of your hands, gently massage upwards to give a mini facial lymphatic drainage. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks then alternate nights for a further 2 weeks then nightly.

NovA Oil

Iโ€™m so delighted to note that a little goes a very long way! My skin is literally improving by the day. I gave a youthful glow and Iโ€™m 59!

Fantastic product

I used some form of Retinol/retinoid for a number of years until my skin became too sensitive. As I am getting older I wanted to reintroduce Vitamin A into my skincare routine again. Dr. Vanessa recommended the novaOil. I started using it as instructed - twice a week for two weeks. I am now using it every evening. After four weeks of using it, I realised that I have been looking in the mirror a few times over the past week where I thought - very happily - that my skin looked really great. It is looking plump and the texture is really good. I am sure it is the novaOil that is making the difference and I am really excited about having discovered this product. The novaOil is moisturising and I enjoy using it at night. Next time I will purchase the bigger size!
