Book a Retinol Renewal Facial →Why book a Retinol Renewal Facial at home?
A retinol facial is a professional facial that includes retinol, a form of vitamin A widely used in skincare to help skin look smoother and more even. The session usually includes a cleanse, a gentle exfoliation, a retinol step chosen for your skin, a soothing mask and moisturiser with sunscreen. It is not suitable for everyone, so your aesthetician checks with you first. With RHEA it lasts 60 minutes, at home.
One clear goal
Part of our anti-ageing facials. Every session starts with a short chat about your skin and routine.
A focused session
60 minutes of focused care.
One clear price
Travel, products and towels are included in the price.
Nothing to prepare
Your aesthetician brings the treatment table, professional skincare and fresh towels.
How the session runs
Retinol needs a careful start, so the skin chat is longer than in other facials.
Setup
Your aesthetician sets up the treatment table, fresh towels and single-use applicators in a well-lit spot of your home or hotel room.
Book a facial →A careful skin chat
You go through pregnancy or breastfeeding, active breakouts, recent peels, laser or injectables, prescription creams and how your skin reacts to actives. If retinol is not right for you today, your aesthetician will say so.
Cleanse and preparation
A gentle double cleanse and light exfoliation prepare the skin. Nothing harsh is used before the retinol step.
Retinol step
Retinol skincare is applied and left to work, followed by a calming mask while you rest.
Finish and aftercare
Moisturiser and sunscreen go on last. You get clear aftercare advice for the next few days, which matters more with retinol than with most facials.

Who it suits, and who should wait
A good fit if you…
- your skin looks uneven in texture or has started to show fine lines
- you are not pregnant or breastfeeding and your skin tolerates actives
- you can keep out of strong sun for a few days afterwards
- you want a professional retinol step without guessing at home
Choose another option if you…
- you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding: choose the Hyaluronic Hydration Facial instead
- you have active acne, broken, irritated or sunburnt skin
- you had a peel, laser, waxing on the face or injectables recently, or use prescription retinoids: check with your doctor
What it may feel like
During the session, retinol usually feels like very little: perhaps warmth or a light tingle. Tell your aesthetician straight away if anything stings, burns or itches, and the product comes off.
In the days after, some people notice light dryness, mild flaking or a little sensitivity. That is common with retinol and usually settles on its own. Keep your routine simple, moisturise more than usual and do not pick at flaking skin. If you get strong redness, swelling or burning, stop using actives and speak to a doctor.
Because of this, many people choose a quiet day for a retinol facial, such as a Friday evening before a weekend at home, rather than the day before a big event or a beach holiday. Your aesthetician can tell you whether your skin looks ready on the day.
Aftercare in Dubai sun
Retinol makes skin more sensitive to sun, so the days after matter.
- Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning for at least a week, and reapply when you are outside.
- Plan beach, pool, boat and desert days for later, and wear a hat in the midday sun.
- Skip scrubs, acids and your own retinoids for a few days, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
- Leave the sauna, steam room and hot yoga for a couple of days.
- Book this facial in an evening slot if you can, so the skin rests overnight before any sun.
How often, and what to pair
Many people book a retinol facial every four to six weeks, and some choose the cooler months for it, when time outdoors is easier to manage. The Red-light LED face mask (AED 90) is a calm finish; skip extras that exfoliate. The Neck & Décolleté (AED 235) can be added if your aesthetician agrees it suits your skin that day.
If you want a gentler anti-ageing option, compare the Anti-Ageing Facial or the Kobido Facial Massage. For pure hydration between retinol visits, the Hydra Glow Facial works well.
Important cautions
Retinol is not used in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, on active acne, on broken or sunburnt skin, or soon after peels, laser or injectables. If you use prescription skincare or have a skin condition, check with your doctor first. This is a beauty treatment, not a medical one.
