Radiance Reborn Serum | Renew 30 ml

NAYA Radiance Reborn Serum is a corrective night serum for anyone looking to target dark spots, uneven skin tone, and early fine lines.

At its core is encapsulated retinal, which supports skin renewal. Together with tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin and phenylethyl resorcinol , the formula targets various processes that contribute to an uneven complexion. At the same time, Cacay oil, panthenol, hyaluronic acid and an EGF-inspired peptide complex provide thoughtful complementary care for the skin.

• Product type: advanced retinal night serum for targeted care of dark spots and visible signs of aging
• Skin types: for normal, combination, dry, mature, and pigmentation-prone skin; introduce gradually on sensitive skin
• Effect: supports skin renewal and helps visibly reduce uneven pigmentation and dark post-blemish marks
• Complexion: makes the complexion look more even and radiant and the skin texture smoother
• Anti-aging care: can visibly soften fine lines and helps skin look smoother and firmer
• Texture: lightweight, silky cream serum that spreads easily and does not feel heavy on the skin
• Key active ingredients: encapsulated retinal, tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin, phenylethyl resorcinol, EGF-inspired peptides, Cacay oil, and hyaluronic acid
• Quality: vegan, no added fragrances, no essential oils, silicones, PEGs, or phenoxyethanol

What we find particularly interesting about Radiance Reborn is the combination of targeted pigmentation care and skin renewal. Many serums focus mainly on one of these two areas. NAYA combines retinal with three other active ingredients that can even out skin tone in different ways. This is especially beneficial when sun-induced dark spots, post-blemish discoloration, and uneven skin texture occur at the same time.

The silky-light cream-serum texture makes application pleasant. It leaves skin feeling cared for without feeling heavy or oily. Cacay oil, moisture-binding ingredients, and panthenol complement the active ingredients, helping keep skin supple even during a more intensive skincare routine. With regular use and good tolerance, the complexion may gradually appear clearer, smoother, and more radiant.

Retinal with a measured approach

Retinal is one of the most interesting vitamin A derivatives in modern facial skincare. Unlike retinol, it requires only one conversion step in the skin to become biologically active retinoic acid. Retinal can support skin renewal and thereby visibly improve rough patches, fine lines, and uneven-looking skin tone. However, how well a retinoid works depends not only on the active ingredient, but also on its concentration, stability, formulation, and tolerability.

For Radiance Reborn, NAYA uses encapsulated retinal with controlled release. This formulation approach is designed to stabilize the active ingredient and deliver it to the skin more evenly. The serum is therefore deliberately designed as a long-term evening skincare product. The aim is to let skin benefit from its renewing effects without putting it under unnecessary stress with an overly aggressive routine.

Key Active Ingredients in Detail

• Encapsulated Retinal: This vitamin A derivative supports renewal of the skin's surface and can soften fine lines, rough patches, and visible pigmentation irregularities. Retinal is more directly involved in the formation of active retinoic acid than retinol. Encapsulation is an important part of the formula, helping deliver the active ingredient in a controlled way.
• Tranexamic Acid: A particularly interesting active ingredient for uneven skin tone and dark discoloration after blemishes. Tranexamic acid affects pathways involved in increased pigment production. It supports a more even complexion and complements the skin renewal stimulated by retinal.
• Alpha-Arbutin & Phenylethylresorcinol: Both active ingredients are known for their tone-evening properties. Among other things, they affect tyrosinase, an important enzyme in melanin production. Together with tranexamic acid, they help target visible pigmentation and dark areas of skin more effectively than skin renewal alone could.
• EGF-Inspired Peptide Complex: The formula contains various biotechnologically produced peptides, including sh-Oligopeptide-1 and other signal peptides. Such active ingredients are used in regeneration-focused formulas to support smoother, firmer-looking skin. They complement the retinal complex with another approach to caring for skin texture.
• Cacay Oil & Panthenol: Cacay oil (Caryodendron Orinocense Seed Oil) is one of the formula's main ingredients. Its nourishing fatty acids help keep skin supple and reduce moisture loss. Panthenol supports the skin barrier and soothes skin that feels stressed - especially valuable in a serum with active retinoids.
• Hyaluronic acid complex, vitamin E & superoxide dismutase: Multiple forms of hyaluronic acid bind moisture, leaving the skin’s surface looking plumper and smoother. Vitamin E and the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) add protection against oxidative stress to the formula. This combines tone-evening care with a comprehensive supply of moisture and antioxidants.

Which skin type?

Radiance Reborn is especially well suited to skin with dark spots, uneven tone, dark acne marks, rough texture, or early fine lines. Normal, combination, dry, and mature skin can all benefit from its combination of active ingredients. The serum is also an interesting option for oily or blemish-prone skin when dark spots remain after breakouts clear.

The formula’s moisturizing and nourishing ingredients make it a thoughtful choice for sensitive skin. However, retinal is still an active ingredient that can temporarily cause redness, dryness, or flaking. So start slowly and use the serum only on skin that is in good condition and not currently irritated.

If you’re mainly looking to address dark spots and uneven skin tone, you’ll find more brightening and balancing skincare products in our dark spot collection. If you prefer an oil texture and a gradual approach when starting vitamin A skincare, you can also take a look at the NAYA Retinol Cell Renewal Oil.

Application

• Use the serum only in the evening, after cleansing your face and before applying your moisturizer.
• Spread 1–2 pumps over your face and neck, then gently press the serum into your skin. Avoid the eye area and eyelids.
• If you don’t currently use retinoids, start with just a few evenings a week. Increase how often you use the serum only once your skin tolerates it well.
• Then apply a suitable moisturizer to provide additional support for the skin barrier.
• Consistently use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF every morning. This is especially important as part of a skincare routine for dark spots.
• While your skin is adjusting, avoid using the serum on the same evening as strong exfoliants, other retinoids, or intensive resurfacing treatments.

Important: Do not use during pregnancy or when trying to conceive. Use is also not recommended while breastfeeding. If your skin barrier is acutely irritated or damaged, focus first on soothing, barrier-strengthening skincare.

About NAYA

Behind NAYA is founder Sarah Zimmer, whose in-depth focus on skin health, active ingredient research, and the biology of the skin barrier shapes the brand. Her approach combines science-led formulations with high-quality plant-based ingredients. Rather than applying as many active ingredients as possible, the focus is on carefully selected, thoughtfully combined ingredients that can be incorporated into a balanced skincare routine over the long term.

A signature NAYA ingredient is cacay oil, sourced from Colombia and purchased directly from local producers. It also plays an important role in the Radiance Reborn Serum: its rich lipid care complements advanced retinal and peptide technology. This reflects the brand’s commitment to bringing effective skincare and skin tolerance together.

FAQ

Does Radiance Reborn also help with dark acne marks?

Yes, the serum is particularly suitable for caring for dark marks left behind after blemishes have healed. Retinal supports skin renewal, while tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, and phenylethyl resorcinol can help promote a more even skin tone. However, it cannot specifically improve indented acne scars.

Can I combine the serum with vitamin C or fruit acids?

A vitamin C serum in the morning can generally be combined with retinal in the evening, provided your skin tolerates both products. It’s best to use stronger fruit acid peels and other intensive resurfacing treatments on separate evenings. This helps avoid unnecessary strain on the skin barrier.

Do I have to use Radiance Reborn every evening?

No. If your skin isn’t used to retinal yet, start by applying it a few times a week. Increase the frequency only once your skin tolerates the serum well. Regular use that your skin tolerates is more important than rushing into daily retinal care.

When will I see the first results?

Your skin may feel smoother and softer after the first few applications. A more even skin tone and less noticeable post-acne marks may appear after a few weeks. Stubborn dark spots and fine lines often require eight to twelve weeks of regular use. How quickly you see results varies from person to person. Consistent sun protection in the morning is especially important.

NAYA Serum Finder

Which NAYA serum is right for your skin?

NAYA serums are tailored to different skin needs – from enhanced radiance and hydration to sensitive skin, dark spots, and advanced well-aging care. Your skin type isn’t the only factor; what your skin needs right now matters most.

Which serum is right for each skin goal?

NAYA Everyday Glow Serum – for a fresher, more radiant look

If your skin looks tired, dull, or lackluster, Everyday Glow Serum is a wonderful choice. It hydrates the skin and helps promote a fresher, more radiant complexion. Especially lovely for your daily morning routine.

NAYA Cell Resilience Serum – for hydration and a more resilient skin barrier

This lightweight pre-serum is suitable for skin that quickly becomes unbalanced, struggles to retain moisture, or is prone to feelings of tightness. Apply it directly after cleansing to prepare the skin for the next steps in your skincare routine. Cell Resilience can be combined with the other NAYA serums in the morning and evening.

NAYA NeuroCalm Serum – for sensitive, reactive and reddened skin

NeuroCalm is especially worth considering if your skin reacts quickly to external factors, is prone to redness, or feels stressed and tight. Its soothing formula supports a more balanced complexion and improves skin comfort. Suitable for use morning and evening.

NAYA Radiance Reborn Serum - for dark spots and a more even skin tone

Radiance Reborn is a targeted nighttime treatment for dark spots, post-acne marks, and an uneven complexion. Encapsulated retinal supports skin renewal, while tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin, and phenylethyl resorcinol help reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation. The serum is also a good choice for fine lines and rough skin texture. Start with a few applications per week and increase the frequency depending on how well your skin tolerates it.

NAYA Exo Timeless ReGen Serum - for firmness, regeneration, and smoother skin

If fine lines, reduced firmness, and skin that looks less elastic are your main concerns, Exo Timeless ReGen is the right choice. Its innovative formula with exosomes and peptides supports a smoother, firmer, more resilient-looking complexion. Unlike Radiance Reborn, this serum does not primarily target dark spots, but focuses on comprehensive care for the skin's texture. It can be used morning and evening.

How to incorporate your NAYA serum

The simple order is:

Cleanse → pre-serum → targeted serum → moisturizer → sunscreen in the morning

Apply the Cell Resilience Serum to your skin immediately after cleansing. Then choose one of the targeted serums according to your skin's needs: Glow, NeuroCalm, Radiance Reborn, or Exo Timeless ReGen.

For most skincare routines, combining Cell Resilience with one other serum is enough. You can also split your skincare between morning and evening - for example, use Glow in the morning for a more radiant complexion and Exo Timeless ReGen in the evening for regeneration-focused care.

A special feature of Radiance Reborn: The retinal it contains should be introduced gradually. During the adjustment period, avoid using other retinoids or strong acid peels on the same evening if possible. High sun protection is especially important in the morning.

FAQ

Can I combine several NAYA serums?

Yes. The combination of Cell Resilience as a pre-serum and a targeted serum is particularly straightforward. For example, Cell Resilience pairs very well with NeuroCalm for sensitive skin, Glow for added radiance, or Exo Timeless ReGen for an advanced well-aging routine. Radiance Reborn can also be added, but should be introduced gradually because it contains retinal.

Which serum is suitable for sensitive skin?

If redness and quick reactivity are your main concerns, we recommend NeuroCalm. If your skin also needs moisture and barrier support, Cell Resilience is a helpful addition as a pre-serum. If your skin is acutely irritated, avoid intensive active ingredients such as retinal for now.

What is the difference between Radiance Reborn and Exo Timeless ReGen?

Radiance Reborn is particularly suitable for skin with dark spots, dark acne marks, and uneven skin tone. The encapsulated retinal also supports skin renewal. Exo Timeless ReGen focuses on firmness, elasticity, fine lines, and skin in need of regeneration. Both serums can help skin look smoother, but they take different approaches to skincare.

Is Radiance Renewal Treatment the same as Radiance Reborn Serum?

No. The Exosomes Radiance Renewal Treatment is an exfoliating essence with various fruit acids, PHA, and BHA. Use it after cleansing and before your serum. Radiance Reborn, on the other hand, is a retinal night serum with targeted active ingredients for uneven pigmentation. Especially while your skin is adjusting to retinal, we recommend using the two products on different evenings.

Do I need to apply a cream after using a serum?

In most cases, yes. The serum delivers targeted active ingredients, while a suitable face cream provides additional moisture and lipids and supports the skin barrier. In the morning, finish your routine with a suitable sunscreen.

Should I use the same serum every day?

No. Your skin’s needs can change with the season, stress, or other factors. You can adjust your routine accordingly, for example, using Glow in the morning and Exo Timeless ReGen in the evening. With Radiance Reborn, regular use that your skin tolerates well, with a gradual adjustment period, is more advisable than frequently switching between different intensive treatments.
