SAUVASINE's Dragon Blood Retinol Cream is a 50ml K-beauty moisturizer built around dragon's blood extract, a botanical resin traditionally used in skincare for its soothing qualities, paired with retinol, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and botanical soothing agents. The formula is lightweight and unisex, suitable for all skin types, and designed for daily use rather than an occasional treatment.
Dragon's blood extract is a plant-derived ingredient, not an animal product, drawn from the resin of certain tropical trees and used in skincare for generations for its calming, soothing feel on skin. Here it's combined with an encapsulated retinol formulation intended to support the skin's natural surface renewal gradually and with reduced risk of irritation compared to standard retinol. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin add lasting hydration, helping skin feel plump and comfortable, while the botanical soothing agents help keep the formula gentle enough for sensitive skin as the retinol is introduced.
Used consistently, this cream may help skin look and feel smoother, more hydrated, and less dull over time — a cosmetic, gradual effect that varies between individuals rather than a guaranteed transformation. We recommend starting every other night to let skin adjust, increasing to nightly use once comfortable, and avoiding strong actives like vitamin C or exfoliating acids in the same routine while adjusting. A broad-spectrum sunscreen each morning is essential, since retinol increases sun sensitivity.
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin each evening, massaging in gentle upward circles. A patch test is recommended before first use for sensitive skin, and anyone pregnant, nursing, or under medical care should consult a healthcare professional before using a retinol product.
