supernovA oil

key ingredients
R995.00 – R2,495.00
all the benefits of a prescription retinoid but without the irritation.
Everyone can benefit from high dose Vitamin A with our step-up system of Retinoid Stars available in two strengths. A-list healthy ageing superstars Granactive Retinoid, bakuchiol and trans-retinoic acid, have been cocooned in an antioxidant, soothing blend of botanical oils to nourish the skin, calm down inflammation and counteract dryness.
it’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 SupernovA Oil’s supporting cast lulls 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 final step in our Retinoid Star System. Only start here if you are used to prescription retinoids or have used high strength retinoids such as the NovA Oil before. 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 décolletage. 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.

I incorporated this product after emailing Dr Vanessa for advice, and she suggested I try it. I've never been a fan of face oils but this is the perfect end to my evening skin routine. I've been using it (and now the full Root4 range) for around 2-3 months. My fine lines look less prominent, and my skin looks brighter, happier and healthier. If you research all the ingredients in the range, you will see how good these products are.
I have battled with pigmentation and rosacea for many years, trying various treatments and products to help minimise, with no luck at all. Until I started using a number of the products from the Root4 range one year ago. I can honestly say that Root4 has been an absolute game changer - particularly the incorporation of the SuperNova Oil into my routine. Pigmentation has lightened. Skin is hydrated and nourished. My skin is glowing and radiant. The added bonus of all products being sustainable, makes my heart happy. Thank you Root4 team, for a remarkable product range that makes me truly proud to be supporting this local South African business! You have a fan for life.
I love this product, my skin feels great when i am using it. and after 3 weeks I do feel like the texture of my skin has improved.
I absolutely love this product. I upgraded from retinaldehyde to SupernovA twice a week and can already see a difference after two weeks. Can't wait for even better results when I'll be using this daily :)
Started using the supernovA after I finished the nova oil. I am super satisfied with both. Had no adverse reaction or sensitivity! My skin feels and looks great. I’m over 50 and suddenly I had developed an allergy to everything, so I am very relieved that I finally found a product that works.
