Product Description

Renew by night, protect by day.

This high-performance duo pairs Youth Potion Advanced with Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream to create a powerful routine that supports progressive skin renewal while helping to protect against future signs of ageing.

Youth Potion Advanced, our highest-strength retinal serum, works overnight to visibly smooth, refine and renew the look of skin, while broad-spectrum SPF 50 helps defend against daily UV damage – the number one cause of premature skin ageing.

New to retinal? Youth Potion Advanced is ideal if your skin has built retinal tolerance. If you’re new to retinal, we recommend finishing two full-size bottles of Youth Potion first before progressing to our Advanced formula.

How To Use

At Night: Before bedtime, apply one to two pumps of Youth Potion Advanced to freshly cleansed skin. Gently press over your face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye and lip areas.

Youth Potion Advanced contains vitamin A, so consider your daily intake. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor before use.

Avoid using exfoliating formulas on the same day as Youth Potion Advanced. Always wear SPF the morning after application.

In the Morning: After cleansing and moisturising, apply your Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream SPF 50 with your fingers over your face and neck.

Reapply at least every two hours, or immediately after swimming, bathing, or towel drying. Do not use on damaged or broken skin.

Ingredients

Certified Natural Retinal

Infused with the world’s first natural retinal at 7x the concentration of our original Youth Potion to take your results to the next level and visibly target signs of ageing. This potent microalgae-derived retinal accelerates collagen renewal to firm skin and soften lines, while bakuchiol enhances elasticity and smooths texture.

Plant Peptides

Give your skin a boost as collagen naturally declines. Improving firmness and elasticity, they help smooth the appearance of fine lines and enhance skin’s collagen production, leaving it nourished, plump, and renewed.

Zinc Oxide

A great mineral to reflect UV rays and bounce them back into the atmosphere rather than sinking into skin, it’s also a popular ingredient for getting rid of inflammation which is why you’ll find it in everything from spot treatments to nappy rash creams.

The Functional Benefits

Discover the potent ingredients that deeply cleanse, strengthen, and restore your skin – this is where science meets self-care.

The Philosophy Behind The Cleanse

“I created this cleanser to turn an everyday routine into a moment of pure indulgence. It was inspired by conversations with incredible women navigating perimenopause and menopause (a time when skin can naturally start to feel drier and require extra nourishment). I wanted the very first step to feel as beautiful as it is effective: a formula that melts away makeup effortlessly, doubles as a mindful facial massage, and leaves skin feeling supple, nourished, and renewed.

For me, it’s more than cleansing; it’s cocooning your skin in luxury. Take a moment to pause, breathe, massage it in, and enjoy the sensorial ritual.”

Our Most Advanced Formula

"Embracing the latest in green science and breakthrough technology, Eye Lift is our most advanced formula yet. Inspired by my mum who, at 65, experienced fine lines, puffiness, and sensitivity, this indulgent cream delivers comfort without compromise. Free from retinal to protect the delicate eye area, it’s powered by 11 potent actives that visibly firm, smooth, and sculpt – promising unrivalled results and restored confidence from the very first use."

The Story Behind Our Smoothing Cleanser

"When I first set out to create a cleanser, I knew it had to do more than just remove makeup. I wanted it to feel like a moment of calm at the start and end of your day; a gentle ritual that would leave your skin soft, balanced, and cared for, no matter your skin type.

That’s how Smoothing Cleanser was born. Powered by nourishing jojoba oil and soothing aloe vera, it’s been part of my daily routine for over a decade and it’s still the product I’m most proud of".

Founder & CEO

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

The Story Behind Finishing Touch

"While many setting sprays rely on synthetic film-formers that can contribute to microplastic pollution, Finishing Touch is powered by plant-derived polymers for a cleaner, more sustainable alternative. Infused with natural extracts and antioxidants, it forms a breathable, flexible shield that locks in makeup for up to 16 hours while enhancing skin radiance."

Founder & CEO

The Story Behind Foot Smooth

“Feet work harder than almost any other part of the body, yet they’re often the most neglected. This scrub was created to turn a forgotten step into a moment of care, combining salt and enzymes to actively renew rough skin while peppermint and eucalyptus reset tired feet and senses.

It’s about restoring softness, freshness and confidence from the ground up, without needing a salon visit.”

WILL THIS CAUSE PURGING OR IRRITATION?

Because Youth Potion Advanced contains high-strength retinal, some users may experience temporary dryness or mild sensitivity as skin adjusts.

To minimise discomfort:

Introduce slowly – build up tolerance with original Youth Potion first, or stagger usage from 1–2 times a week and gradually increase to daily use.
Avoid layering with other strong exfoliating acids.
Focus on hydration and barrier support.
Use SPF daily.

If irritation persists, pause use and reintroduce gradually.

I’M NEW TO RETINAL, IS YOUTH POTION ADVANCED RIGHT FOR ME?

Youth Potion Advanced is designed for experienced vitamin A/retinal users.

Because this formula contains our highest-strength natural retinal and 7x more potent actives than our original Youth Potion, if you are new to vitamin A/retinal, we recommend finishing two full-size bottles of the original Youth Potion first.

Once your skin has built tolerance and feels comfortable using retinal regularly, you can progress to Youth Potion Advanced for amplified results.

What’s the difference between Tropic SPF products?

Our sun protection range is designed to suit every skin need. Sun Day is a lightweight, broad-spectrum SPF that helps prevent daily UV damage and wears beautifully under makeup. For a touch of coverage, Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream offers SPF 50 protection and doubles as a sheer foundation.

Great Barrier – a water-resistant, lightweight body lotion suitable for all skin tones – is your go-to for sunny days outdoors. Or, if your skin is particularly fair or sensitive, Skin Shade Sun Cream is a 100% mineral, sweat-resistant option that’s gentle yet effective.

For on-the-go top-ups, Sun Stick glides on clear and can be used anywhere, anytime. And to keep delicate lips protected, Lip Shade combines broad-spectrum defence with deep conditioning care.

What does broad-spectrum mean?

Where most SPF focuses on protecting skin from UVB rays, broad-spectrum describes sunscreens that provide protection against both UVB (which cause burning and can contribute to skin cancer) and UVA rays (which cause skin-ageing). Our entire sun care range provides broad-spectrum protection to effectively defend skin against all harmful UV rays and support long-term health and vitality.

What shade should I choose?

Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream is available in two adaptable shades designed to blend into a range of skin tones. If you're unsure, choose the lighter option for fair to medium complexions, and the darker for medium to deep tones. The formulas are buildable and blend seamlessly.

Can I use this tinted sunscreen with makeup?

Yes, it works beautifully as a lightweight base under foundation or on its own for a dewy, even-toned finish. Its smooth, silky texture also makes it easy to blend over makeup for SPF top-ups to stay protected throughout the day.

Is Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream SPF 50 suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes. This mineral-based, non-comedogenic formula uses lightweight ingredients like golden jojoba oil that help balance oil production without clogging pores. It’s a great tinted SPF moisturiser for oily and blemish-prone skin types.

Is Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream SPF 50 suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. As a 100% mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, it’s gentle and fragrance-free, making it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.

What is a tinted sunscreen?

A tinted sunscreen combines sun protection with a sheer tint to even skin tone and enhance radiance. Tropic’s Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream offers SPF 50 mineral protection with a natural-looking tint, so you get coverage and UV defence in one step.
