Algae Retinol Face Oil

Get radiantly clear skin with MARA’s luxurious nighttime Algae Retinol Face Oil that soaks your skin with powerful algae extracts, 1.2% retinol and natural sources of vitamin A to support cellular turnover while revealing healthy-looking skin. This vitamin-rich treatment serum helps to provide the feeling of a boosted hydration barrier while visibly improving the appearance of wrinkles and uneven texture while drenching your skin with amino acids and free radical fighting antioxidants from fermented green tea. Phytonutrient powerhouse brown seaweed and evening primrose make the skin appear more plump and moisturized for a radiantly clear glow. #SeatheGlow Note: Incorporating a new retinol into your routine can cause the skin to initially purge slightly. This is totally normal, temporary and a part of the process using retinol.

HOW TO USE IT

Apply 6-8 drops to clean skin in the evening. Let it sink in and follow with Universal Face Oil. Start using 2-3 nights per week and build to nightly use.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

MARA is a California-based skincare brand rooted in algae-infused, marine-powered formulations designed to support radiant, balanced-looking skin. Founded by Allison McNamara, who was inspired by her upbringing along the Southern California coast and a pivotal trip to the Sea of Marmara, the brand centers its approach on simplicity and thoughtful formulation. MARA is known for its proprietary algae blend—wild-collected from the coasts of Ireland and France—and its focus on combining marine superfoods with modern skincare innovation to create a streamlined, sensorial ritual.

With a distinct point of view that merges ocean-sourced ingredients with a refined, minimalist aesthetic, MARA offers a curated range of skincare essentials designed for everyday use. The brand emphasizes responsible sourcing practices, including hand-harvested algae to help preserve marine ecosystems, and formulates with a balance of naturally derived ingredients and lab-supported actives. From its debut with Universal Face Oil to its expanded collection, MARA reflects a commitment to clean, considered skincare inspired by the sea.
