## Overview

Pacifica’s Wake Up Beautiful Retinol Serum harnesses advanced Granactive Retinoid technology combined with antioxidant-rich melatonin and hydrating mushroom extracts to deliver powerful anti-aging benefits overnight.

## Description

Turn back the clock overnight with Pacifica’s Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Serum—a transformative nighttime serum designed to give you fresher, smoother, more youthful-looking skin by morning. This luxurious, lightweight formula combines Granactive Retinoid (a gentler, highly effective retinoid alternative) with soothing natural ingredients like mushrooms, quinoa, and melatonin. If traditional retinol has been too harsh, this clean, vegan-friendly serum is your perfect overnight solution, delivering visible anti-aging results without irritation.Powerful Granactive Retinoid: Featuring Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, this serum directly binds to skin receptors to smooth wrinkles, refine pores, and fade discoloration, with significantly less irritation than traditional retinol. This next-generation retinoid encourages collagen production, visibly softening crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other wrinkles. Users also report improved skin firmness and a noticeable reduction in dark spots and post-acne marks over time, resulting in a brighter, even-toned complexion.Overnight Repair with Melatonin & Quinoa: Wake Up Beautiful leverages your skin’s natural overnight repair cycle, enhancing it with melatonin—a potent antioxidant that combats nighttime oxidative stress. Alongside melatonin, nutrient-rich quinoa extract provides essential amino acids and gentle enzymes to help promote smoother texture and enhance skin's resilience. Together, these ingredients help your skin maximize its rejuvenation process, ensuring you wake up looking refreshed and revitalized.Hydrating Mushroom Blend for Comfort: To keep skin calm and hydrated, especially important when using retinoids, we’ve infused this serum with adaptogenic mushroom extracts—reishi, shiitake, and snow mushroom. Rich in beta-glucans, these mushrooms provide intense hydration and soothing benefits, preventing the dryness often associated with retinol treatments. With added aloe vera and calendula, the serum gently supports sensitive skin, reducing redness and irritation for comfortable, balanced results.Targets Multiple Signs of Aging: This multitasking serum addresses a wide range of skin concerns—from fine lines and wrinkles to uneven texture and enlarged pores. The gentle exfoliating action of the retinoid and quinoa enzymes smooths rough patches and refines skin texture. Added niacinamide helps further diminish the look of pores and evens skin tone, enhancing overall clarity and brightness. Regular use leads to visibly improved skin quality, firmness, and a noticeably clearer complexion.Clean, Vegan & Gentle Formula: Pacifica ensures Wake Up Beautiful Serum aligns with clean beauty values: petroleum-free, silicone-free, and formulated without parabens or harmful preservatives. Instead, it’s enriched with nourishing sunflower seed oil and jojoba oil, delivering hydration without clogging pores. The subtle, naturally derived scent (free from artificial fragrances) makes application pleasant. Simply apply a few drops nightly after cleansing, and follow with moisturizer if desired. Remember to use SPF daily, as retinoids can increase sun sensitivity.Elevate your nighttime routine with Pacifica’s Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Serum. Let this gentle yet powerful blend work overnight, leaving you with radiant, youthful-looking skin each morning.

Review: Not Greasy! - Even though I don't live a vegan lifestyle, I do appreciate vegan products to use on my skin. This way I know that the ingredients are pure and all natural, without all the junk ingredients. I am 61 this year with an olive, Mediterranean complexion. I do have combination skin that can become oily in the T-zone, including the eye area, and it's difficult to find face moisturizer that isn't oily, but this serum fits the bill perfectly! Using this serum in my bedtime routine is so easy, and my skin is not oily by morning! For most of my life I never had dry areas on my skin, but in the last few years my cheeks have dried out, and this serum fights the dryness very effectively. I do love this serum! It is lightweight, not greasy, and easily absorbs in to the skin. It is not irritating and the fragrance is very lovely and light. I didn't buy this serum to include the eye area, but I always test new products for that area, and I can use it around the eyes without irritation or oiliness. It leaves my face feeling light and moisturized to a dewey feel without suffocating the pores. Not only do I use it on my face but I apply it to my decolate', arms and on the top of my hands and wrists. The top of my hands aren't super wrinkly, and I'm wanting to keep them that way for as long as possible, and I feel this serum will be most helpful! It has been effective on the top of my hands, as they are noticably more supple. My face isn't super wrinkly either, but I do have worry lines and fine crows feet and the eyelids are somewhat wrinkly and loose skin. But only time will tell how effective this serum is on my face, as I do suffer from intense insomnia, so it will take more time to notice results. LOL I wanted a moisturizer without hyaluronic acid, and thankfully this serum does not have that ingredient. A true needle in a haystack! I implore Pacifica to keep this formula as is for the long run. I feel it's very well worth the money! Update edit: After nearly a month of (admittedly not-so-consistent) use I find this serum to be effective on my face. Especially the forehead and worry lines are less noticeable! 🎉 Who could ask for more?
Review: Fantastic results - I try a lot of vitamin C serums to even out my skin tone and help with dark spots. My usual favorite is another brand in a red bottle, that is twice as expensive. I tried this one after reading the reviews. I have extremely sensitive skin which tends to break out if there are certain ingredients in a product. Right away I noticed the smell and the lightness of the product at first there's a bit of stickiness but it dissipates quickly unlike my other favorite one which can be sticky the whole day. Within a week I started noticing visible results and in another week I had phenomenal results. Not even a whisper of dark skin or dark spots. Highly effective a little goes a long way it's easy to apply and the smell dissipates. I'm very happy with this product and I'm very happy that I found it and it is a keeper for me. My skin looks smoother tighter and more radiant. Plenty of moisture on my skin is left even in the Arizona dry air. Absorbs quickly and I don't hardly know I have it on under my makeup.

## Features

- Next-Generation Retinoid (Granactive Retinoid): Features a highly effective yet gentle Granactive Retinoid (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate) known for delivering retinol results with less irritation​. This advanced retinoid directly binds to retinoid receptors in skin to boost collagen production and accelerate cell turnover, helping to smooth fine lines, fade hyperpigmentation, and improve elasticity​. Wake Up Beautiful Serum gives you the anti-wrinkle power of a retinol treatment – fine lines and pores appear reduced, skin firmness improves – all while being kinder to skin
- Overnight Cell Renewal: Designed as a PM serum, it works synergistically with your skin’s nighttime repair cycle. A dose of topical melatonin acts as a supercharged antioxidant, fighting free radicals and signaling skin to repair itself​. Quinoa extract provides amino acids that support skin regeneration, and natural fruit acids (from floral extracts) gently resurface dead cells. You literally “wake up beautiful” – skin looks more refreshed, with improved texture and a glow by morning, as noted by users who saw a overnight brightness and plumpness.
- FREE OF HARSH CHEMICALS Clean, Vegan Night Treatment: Pacifica’s formula is free of petroleum, parabens, phthalates, or silicones – it uses a petroleum-free retinoid and naturally derived ingredients​. It’s 100% vegan and cruelty-free. The serum is fragrance-free (no added perfume, just a mild natural earthy scent from mushrooms). Unlike some harsh prescription retinol products, this one is buffered with nourishing oils (sunflower, jojoba) and extracts, making it suitable for most skin types, even those that previously couldn’t tolerate retinol.
- Hydrating & Calming with Mushrooms: Unlike many retinol products that can dry or irritate, this serum is enriched with mushroom extracts (reishi, shiitake, and adaptogenic mushrooms) that deliver hydration and soothe the skin​. Mushrooms are high in beta-glucans which are excellent humectants, so they help keep skin moisturized and calm redness while the retinoid works. Also includes allantoin and bisabolol (from chamomile) for extra calming. This means you get the benefits of retinol without the typical flakiness – a huge plus noted by reviewers.
- Targets Wrinkles, Pores & Dark Spots: This multi-tasking serum addresses the key signs of aging and congested skin. Retinoid and melatonin together help boost collagen and skin thickness (smoothing wrinkles and fine lines)​. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) in the formula further supports pore refinement and uneven tone correction (it’s a hidden hero, reducing oil and blotchiness). Many users reported improvement in stubborn acne scars and a reduction in breakouts, since retinoids also help keep pores clear. In short, this serum refines and retexturizes for a more youthful, even complexion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a solid 5 star serum
*by B***T on April 1, 2025*

I decided to order this because I am getting older (38 male) and I wanted something vegan and cruelty free. However, I am SO glad I stumbled on this brand because holy cow this is incredible. It goes on super smooth, it absorbs so well without feeling sticky or oily, you can feel it's lightweight moisturizing right away AND when I applied my moisturizer after it somehow made my cheap moisturizer feel like a $200 moisturizer. Now, lets talk about ingredients. I also ordered the Wakeup Beautiful serum and out of the two, I would pick this one. I typed them all in to ewg.org and it came out with a score of 5 (fair). However, there were a number of ingredients their system didn't recognize. I plugged the unknown ingredients into google Gemini. Beta-glucan (3rd ingredient) is a humectant to draw moisture to the skin. Adzuki Bean seed extract has antioxidant properties to brighten skin and protect against free radicals. Palmitoyl tripeptide-5 is a peptide to stimulate collagen production. sh-polypeptide-50 is a synthetic polypeptide to help skin revitalization (repair and increase elasticity). Leontopodium alpinum flower/leaf extract (Edelweiss extract) is a powerful antioxidant to protect against environmental damage. Fragaria ananassa seed oil (Strawberry seed oil) is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Saccharomyces/xylinum/black tea ferment (Kombucha) is rich in antioxidants and may have skin-brightening effects. Malpighia glabra fruit ferment filtrate (Acerola cherry ferment) is high in vitamin C, so this ferment has antioxidant and brightening properties. Ethylhexylglycerin is a preservative.
