Can Skin Hero be combined with a Vitamin C cream or serum?
Yes, Skin Hero can be used with Vitamin C, including our Dew Drops Serum. Layering active ingredients can potentially increase skin sensitivity, so it’s always best to introduce slowly into your routine, and/or alternate usage (I.e., Use Dew Drops in the morning, and Skin Hero at night).

Can those who suffer with skin conditions like rosacea, eczema & other skin sensitivities use Skin Hero?
Skin Hero is safe for sensitive skin. “Retinol type” products can and have been used to treat those with rosacea, since retinol assists the skin in generating more collagen. However, we would highly recommend that you first do a patch test before use, and incorporate into your skin routine slowly (1-2x/week for the first week and increase as desired). “Retinol type” products should generally be avoided for those with eczema as they can trigger flare ups and/or reactions.

Can Dream and Skin Hero be used together?
Yes! However, layering active ingredients can potentially increase skin sensitivity, so it’s always best to introduce the new active ingredient slowly into your routine, and/or alternate usage.

How does bio-retinol differ from traditional retinol?
The bio-retinol in Skin Hero comes from Bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative. Bakuchiol delivers the same skin-improving results of retinol - without the irritation. Many studies have shown that Bakuchiol actually outperforms retinol in increasing collagen production and reducing skin inflammation.

What makes Skin Hero different from other bakuchiol serums?
Most Bakuchiol serums on the market are formulated at 1%. Skin Hero contains 2% Bakuchiol because we have paired it with the calming and soothing ingredient, Calendula. Together this creates a perfect pairing so you can get maximum results, without the irritation.

Real Results Using Skin Hero

Changed the look and feel of my skin!

"I have never felt more confident in my skin than I do now after using the serum for about 2 weeks. Retinols tend to really dry out my skin, but this retinol formula is the best and leaves my skin feeling hydrated"

Bailey E.

Love!

"I love how hydrated my face feels after applying! My skin definitely feels smoother after several uses!"

Breeze W.

My skin has changed.

"I can’t believe how my skin has changed after only 2 weeks! It feels so much smoother and deeply hydrated! I love that the serum is so lightweight and the smell is just amazing!"

Andreann L.

I am so so impressed!

"I feel that my skin has greatly improved in texture, brightness, fine lines, redness, and a tiny bit with pores. My skin doesn't seem to flake."

Rebecca W.

Now a customer for life!

"I was very prone to really dry, itchy, painful spots on my eyelids, nose and chin. I started using Three Ships products about a month ago and have seen such an amazing transformation. I used the Purify Cleanser, Dew Drops Serum, Radiance Cream, Skin Hero Bio-Retinol Serum, Dream Night Cream, and Glow Oil Serum. I am now a customer for life!"

Brittney M.

I am grateful for Three Ships

“There are no enough words to describe how much I am grateful for Three Ships and how much I love the products! Not only I can be confident in my own skin even without makeup, it also made me passionate about skincare and learning more about the ingredients I use for my skin.”

Traceable Key Ingredients

Ba

Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol is a natural alternative to retinoids. Unlike retinoids, bakuchiol does not result in undesirable and irritating side effects. Much like retinoids, however, bakuchiol triggers the expression of genes involved in the production of the extracellular matrix of the skin. Hence, bakuchiol boosts the production of collagen which helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Ca

Calendula

Calendula extract is a naturally occuring antioxidant. It protects the skin from stresses by neutralizing free radicals. Calendula extract has high concentrations of fatty acids which are abundant in the skin (e.g. linoleic acid). By supplementing the body with these fatty acids, calendula extract keeps the skin hydrated and helps stimulate collagen production.

Ro

Rosehip Seed Oil

The main bioactive constituents of rosehip extract are vitamin A, C, and E. This extract packs a powerful punch, it has been known to lighten dark spots, and support the skin’s lipid barrier.

Pretty good alternative to retinol

a little drying on the skin at times, though a good non toxic alternative for those who are looking for a retinol at a reasonable price point.

Great bio-retinol product!

Wasn’t sure how I would like this product compared to the retinol products, but I do like it! My skin can react to regular retinol if I use it too often, so I alternate it with this product and I have no problem with skin sensitivity. And it works! Thanks, Three Ships!
