      Reversa is a 2026 Marie Claire Beauty Award winner. The editors chose it because it gives you all the glow of retinol, without the redness and flaking retinol is known for.

      "A formula like this one from Sofía Vergara's toty line gives you the retinol glow without the red." — Marie Claire

      • Slow-release retinol. 0.5% encapsulated retinol releases gradually, instead of hitting your skin all at once.
      • A calming complex. 2% NAG + 5% niacinamide help keep skin calm and comfortable.
      • The result: skin that's bouncy, plump, smooth and dewy, not red and flaky. Plus 1.8% tranexamic acid to fade dark spots.

      What it does for your skin

      • Restores your glow. Fades the look of dark spots and dullness for brighter, more even skin.
      • Smooths lines. Softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
      • Firms and plumps. Skin feels firmer, bouncier and more elastic.
      • Refines texture. Leaves skin smoother and more refined.
      • Respects your skin barrier. Helps keep skin comfortable while you use retinol.

      0.5 % Micro-Encapsulated Slow Release Retinol

      • Renews skin to smooth lines and refine texture. It's encapsulated, so it releases gradually through the night for results with less irritation.

      1.8% Tranexamic Acid

      • Targets dark spots and uneven tone. It's the secret behind Reversa's glow.

      5% Niacinamide + 2% N-Acetyl Glucosamine

      • Calm and support the skin barrier, so your skin stays comfortable as it gets used to retinol.

      Antioxidant Blend (lycopene, turmeric, vitamin C, carob seed)

      • Helps defend skin against everyday environmental stress.

      FAQ's

      Marie Claire's editors called it the retinol that gives you "the retinol glow without the red." Its slow-release retinol and calming niacinamide + NAG complex deliver results with less redness and flaking.

      Most retinols focus on lines. Reversa also targets the dark spots and dullness the sun leaves behind, for brighter, more even skin.

      Yes. Reversa's retinol releases slowly through the night, so your skin gets steady results with less of the irritation retinol can cause.

      In our clinical study, skin looked visibly more even and smoother after 8 weeks of use. Results may vary.

      Yes. Start with 1–2 nights a week and build up slowly.

      Yes, on different nights. Alternate Reversa with an exfoliant like Transforma AHA Serum. If your skin is sensitive, use one or the other.

      Yes, every morning. Retinol makes skin more sensitive to the sun. Use Solaria Mineral SPF 50+ or Ilumina CC Creamy Compact SPF 50+ if you're looking for makeup coverage

        Don't use daily

        This product is amazing, but only use every 2 or 3 days. My skin peels if I use it daily.

        Fantastic!

        I have been using the Reversa Retinol consistently for a couple of months now. This stuff is awesome. My skin is so smooth and the small "laugh" lines around my eyes have actually disappeared. Combining this with my regular skin care regimen makes all the difference. Don't ever stop making this!
