Forage Elixir is the wisdom of adaptogenic mushrooms (5%), encapsulated Retinal (.05%), vegan PDRN and many other balanced actives; designed to use before bed as a single step skincare ritual. A combination with NMN/NAD+ and Peptides makes the serum preventive for restoration and repair. All actives release slowly through encapsulation and support anti-aging, reduce fine lines and boost collagen, while Centella Asiatica, rosehip and prickly pear soothe your skin and promote regeneration.

The base isn't water: more than 60% of the formula is birch and bamboo sap, which promotes skin elasticity and tissue conditioning by itself and enabling better absorption of the product. Comes in handy 15 ml airless pumps, to prevent oxidation, contamination and wastage.

WHAT IT IS +
Forage Elixir is your night step. It pairs 0.05% encapsulated retinal, a vitamin A derivative that works faster than retinol, with reishi and chaga mushroom extracts, PDRN, peptides and centella. The base is more than 60% birch sap, bamboo sap and ferments instead of plain water.

Encapsulation releases the retinal slowly, so it is gentler on skin that is new to vitamin A. The mushrooms and soothing actives are there to support your barrier while the retinal works on texture, marks and firmness.
WHAT TO EXPECT +
  • Weeks 1–2: Skin feels noticeably calmer in the morning. Less tightness. Less overnight dehydration.
  • Weeks 3–4: Texture begins smoothing. Post-acne marks start fading. Skin feels more resilient.
  • Weeks 6–8: Visible improvement in firmness, tone, and overall skin quality. The kind of change that builds quietly and stays.

Real repair takes time. This formula respects that.

HOW TO USE +
  • Cleanse your face and pat your skin dry.
  • Take 2–3 drops into your palm.
  • Warm slightly between fingertips.
  • Massage gently into skin using slow, upward motions.
  • Allow full absorption before applying moisturizer (if needed).
New to retinal? Patch test first, then use every other night for the first two weeks.

Not recommended during pregnancy or while nursing.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS +
  • Once your skin is used to it, use every night. Results build over time.
  • Wear sunscreen the next morning. Retinal makes skin more sensitive to sun.
  • Don’t add another retinol or retinoid. Forage Elixir already contains retinal.
  • Pair with Nordic Nectar in the morning for the complete ritual.
  • Give it 8 weeks. Your skin's renewal cycle needs the full time.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about Forage Elixir

Forage Elixir is a restorative night serum formulated to support skin renewal, improve the appearance of uneven tone and texture, and strengthen the skin barrier while you sleep. It combines retinal, reishi, birch sap, chaga, peptides and soothing ingredients.

Forage Elixir is formulated with 0.05% encapsulated retinal, a next-generation vitamin A derivative known for supporting skin renewal and improving the appearance of uneven texture, fine lines, and dullness.

The encapsulated delivery system helps release retinal gradually, making the formula more considered for a night-time skincare routine.

Forage Elixir is designed to support smoother texture, more even-looking skin tone, skin resilience and overnight hydration. With consistent use, the product is intended to support improvements in firmness, post-acne marks and overall skin quality.

Forage Elixir is formulated to support a more even-looking complexion and reduce the appearance of post-acne marks over time. Retinal, antioxidant-rich botanicals and other bio-active ingredients work together as part of the night-time formula.

Forage Elixir is designed around a restorative and barrier-supporting approach, with ingredients such as reishi, centella asiatica, panthenol and ectoin. However, because the formula contains retinal, people who are new to retinal should introduce it gradually and monitor how their skin responds.

Cleanse your face and pat your skin dry. Apply 2–3 drops of Forage Elixir to your fingertips, warm it slightly, and gently massage it into the skin. Allow it to absorb fully before applying moisturiser if your skin needs additional hydration.

The product is designed for regular night-time use, but retinal may require gradual introduction depending on your skin’s tolerance. If you are new to retinal, starting less frequently and building up can be a more comfortable approach.

It is best not to layer Forage Elixir with additional retinol or strong active treatments because the formula already contains retinal and other bio-active ingredients. Keeping your evening routine simple can help reduce unnecessary irritation.

The product’s expected timeline suggests that skin may feel calmer and less dehydrated within 1–2 weeks. Texture and post-acne marks may begin showing improvement around weeks 3–4, while more visible improvements in firmness, tone and overall skin quality are expected around 6–8 weeks.

Key ingredients include 0.05% encapsulated retinal, reishi extract, chaga extract, birch sap, centella asiatica, peptides, PDRN, tremella fuciformis, panthenol and ectoin. Together, they support the product’s focus on skin renewal, hydration, soothing and barrier resilience.

Yes. Using Nordic Nectar in the morning Forage Elixir at night aligns perfectly with the skin's natural circadian rhythm.

Start 2–3 nights a week for the first 4 weeks, then go nightly. The 0.05% retinal is encapsulated for a slow release.
