Can I wear this during the day?

Our Super A Serum contains retinoids and has been expertly formulated for nightly use, as retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to sun exposure. With that, we recommend applying our Super A Serum each night, and sunscreen each morning to keep your skin protected and radiant!

Is this suitable for first-time retinoid users?

Absolutely! Our Super A Serum is designed to be gentle and effective for first-time retinoid users. For those new to vitamin A, we recommend starting with application every other night until your skin adjusts. As your skin acclimates, gradually increase to nightly use. If you have highly sensitive or reactive skin, it is always best to patch-test.

What did the clinical study actually show?

We commissioned an independent 8-week clinical study at Essex Testing Clinic (31 participants). Here is everything it showed: 100% saw healthier-looking skin 100% skin texture felt softer 100% skin looked renewed 97% skin looked smootherAnd 0% reported irritation — across the entire 8 weeks.

How often should I be using this product?

For optimal results, we recommend incorporating our Super A Serum into your nightly skincare ritual. For those new to vitamin A, we suggest starting with every other night applications, allowing your skin to acclimate. As your skin adjusts, gradually increase to nightly use and begin to reap the benefits - from reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, to diminishing the appearance of age spots and sun damage.

Can this be used during pregnancy and nursing?

We always recommend consulting your health care provider for questions pertaining to pregnancy and nursing. That said, our Super A Serum does contain vitamin A, an ingredient typically advised against during that time. You might consider pregnancy-safe alternatives like Vitamin C or Niacinamide that have been shown to effectively reduce visible signs of aging and sun damage. Our Vitamin C Serum or Corrective Peptide Serum are two naturally hydrating & rejuvenating alternatives we'd recommend!

Does this serum help clear hyperpigmentation and skin discoloration?

Absolutely! Our Super A Serum effectively reduces the appearance of age spots, sun spots and skin discoloration. Packed with three potent bioactive retinoids and bakuchiol, this formula is designed to deliver visible improvements to sun-damaged and aging skin.

Does this serum help reduce wrinkles and signs of aging?

Absolutely! Our Super A Serum is designed specifically to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminish the appearance of age spots and skin discoloration, and improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.

Independent 8-week clinical — see all results

Sensitive skin and want to start retinol? This is it. No burning, no peeling — and after a few weeks my skin really started to look better.

Hannah M.

I was nervous to try vitamin A, so I started here before stronger retinols — and immediately fell in love. The first product where I've actually seen results.

Brooke E.

Other retinols are too harsh on me. This one is gentle and works wonders — it's faded the acne-scar discoloration on my face and my wrinkles look less deep. Every night, no irritation.

Dana R.

Of every product I've tried, in every price range, this is the one that works without a doubt. No vitamin A serum even comes close.

I have been using the Mad Hippie Vitamin A serum for a couple of years now and I'm incredibly

I have been using the Mad Hippie Vitamin A serum for a couple of years now and I'm incredibly impressed with the results. The formula is gentle on my skin and it doesn't cause peeling or flaking. I use it every night before bed and my skin feels noticeable smoother and looks much brighter in the morning. It absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. I will definitely keep this as my nighttime routine.

Love the A serum for nightime

Super A Serum

I've been using the Super A Serum for a few years; the smell is amazing and it feels light.

Honestly all these products are cloggin my pores incredibly

Honestly all these products are cloggin my pores incredibly. I don't know what what's going on but I don't think I can use them anymore. None of the cleansers are strong enough to actually clear my pores.

Hi Kensie, we're sorry to hear you're experiencing this. There can be a purging period with any retinoids so we would recommend giving them a couple weeks, ideally. We are happy to exchange or refund though if they don't work out :)

Perfect for daily use

Super A serum is perfect for daily use. It smells great & makes me look forward to my evening skin care routine. I've been using the product for about 6 months. My skin is brighter and more even.

I have been using this product for about 2 months

I have been using this product for about 2 months. Smells nice, absorbs well. I have very sensitive skin, and this serum causes no problems at all, I can easily use it around my eyes too. I’m recovering from mold exposure and my skin is a mess, so I think it’s going to take more time before I see noticeable results, but I will continue buying!

Very hydrating

Makes my skin feel so moisturized and soft.

I look forward to my skin care routine!

Super Serum A is definitely a 5 star product! When you use a high quality product, you can feel it. I feel quality on my face every day when I use this serum! It’s worth the purchase and consistent use. After only a month I see small changes. Can’t wait to see what happens with long term care! Thanks Mad Hippie!

Helped smooth out bumps on my skin

I love the Serum A

I love the Serum A. LSeveral ladies have inquired as to what I was using on my face. I referred them to your Hippie A Serum. I LOVE all your products I have used thus far. Send more samples my way! Leaves your face feeling really hydrated and refreshed.

Super A Serum is A+

I am not aging as gracefully as I would like, but the Super A Serum is helping to slow down how quickly Mother Nature is stomping all over my face and while it will not turn the clock back 25 years, it's not fast forwarding it either and that my friends is a win! :)

I love to wear this in the am after cleansing. It makes my skin feel smooth and any makeup I apply goes on easily without lines. I even wear it under their sunscreen.

Highly recommended

I’ve been using this a while now and can definitely tell a difference in the texture of my skin, smoother and brighter with smaller pores. Highly recommend.

I love the vitamin A serum!

I love the vitamin A serum. It's gentle and won't break you out like other retinol type serums. Light weight and can be used nightly in my opinion.

I have been using it for a couple weeks now

I have been using it for a couple weeks now, and notice my skin tone has evened out in a couple areas. Looking forward to seeing more improvements as time goes on.
