- BENEFITS
- KEY INGREDIENTS
- APPLICATION
GENTLE, EFFECTIVE RETINOID DELIVERY— Waterless, petrolatum-free formula helps support the stability and absorption of gentle retinyl esters, improving the look of fine lines, texture and tone over time.
TARGETS VISIBLE SIGNS OF INFLAMMAGING — Golden seaweed, arnica and black cumin seed oil help soothe signs of chronic stress, while phytosterols and ceramide NP support the skin’s barrier.
IMPROVED HYDRATION — Occlusive formula locks in moisture to help reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), while next-gen hyaluronic acid in oil hydrates and plumps skin's appearance.
RETINYL ACETATE — A gentle vitamin A derivative that supports natural skin renewal and helps visibly smooth the look of fine lines, tone and texture, with less risk of irritation.
CERAMIDE NP — Helps reinforce the skin’s natural barrier to lock in moisture and support comfort in compromised skin.
INFLAMMAGING COMPLEX — Nigella sativa (black cumin seed oil), golden seaweed and arnica help calm the look and feel of excessively stressed skin.
GENTLE USE (for sensitive skin):
- Apply a pea-sized amount of the retinoid 1-3 nights per week.
- Apply after moisturizer (the “retinoid sandwich” method) to help buffer the skin and minimize potential irritation.
- Gradually increase frequency as skin becomes accustomed, while monitoring for dryness or sensitivity.
- Use sunscreen during the day.
FULL STRENGTH (for more resilient or retinoid-experienced skin):
- Apply a pea-sized amount directly to clean, slightly damp skin 4-7 nights per week.
- For best results, pair with a gentle cleanser and avoid layering additional exfoliants or actives on retinoid nights.
- Use sunscreen during the day.

FAQ
Is La Pommade safe for sensitive skin?
La Pommade is formulated with a gentle retinoid and barrier-supporting ingredients, designed with sensitive skin and first-time retinoid users in mind. Follow 'gentle use' directions for best results.
Can I use La Pommade with other actives?
We recommend keeping it simple. Avoid layering La Pommade with exfoliating acids or other retinoid products. Pair it with a gentle cleanser and hydrating serum to help support your skin’s barrier.
How long before I see results?
You may notice smoother-looking texture and improved hydration in 2–4 weeks. With consistent use, you may see longer-term benefits — like the appearance of softened fine lines and a more even-looking tone — after 6–8 weeks.
What they're saying
- Alyson M. L.Verified BuyerI recommend this productProduct Standouts Unique, Gentle, Healing, Hydrating, Great IngredientsRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoMy Rosacea skin loves this!
I’ve been a Breaking Beauty fan for years, and I’m always eager to try anything Carlene recommends for sensitive skin. I tolerate retinols fairly well, but I’m also someone who flares up so easily—sometimes from the gentlest products. This balm has been such a unique and surprisingly soothing experience.
With a little warming between my fingers, it melts beautifully and glides over my face and neck. I love the subtle scent, and every morning my skin feels calmer, more hydrated, and noticeably less red. I use it nightly over a serum and a light moisturizer, and it layers perfectly without feeling heavy.
I just turned 39, so I’m really focused on finding long-term staples that support my skin barrier while still improving overall skin quality. This has officially become one of those staples. Highly recommend for fellow sensitive-skin folks!

I recently received La Pommade. I absolutely love the texture and how gentle it is. The texture is smooth and not too greasy. I'm looking forward to seeing the results in the next few months. Congrats on creating a great product.

The pommade feels lush, rich, and soothing to my skin. My face sometimes reacts with retinol creams with a tight, hot, stinging feeling. Not so with Cassatt.
I would like more information included somewhere/somehow in its gorgeous packaging about its benefits. I wish the pommade came out of its tube a bit easier, too. I have only had Cassett for two weeks. I love the way my face feels in the morning. It's a bit too soon to see significant changes to my skin's appearance.

Just wanted to thank you! I am loving La Pommade! As a fellow sensitive (now-60-year-old) skincare lover, I must say it hasn’t irritated my skin, whatsoever. I’ve tried it alone, I’ve tried it with my serum, & tried it with my moisturizer. I have used it 2x week thus far. I love the luxurious, hydrating texture, & the barely-there scent. My skin is so soft when I wake up. Thanks for creating it and I was even happier to see that it’s made in Canada!
