ELM BIOSCIENCES LAUNCHES NEW A3O™ ELEMENTAL NIGHT CREAM
Elm Biosciences, the clinically advanced skincare brand co-founded by Martha Stewart and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali, announces the launch of A3O™ Elemental Night Cream, a restorative overnight treatment designed to visibly smooth fine lines, improve firmness, and deeply hydrate the skin while supporting long-term skin health.
Formulated with a novel, fourth-generation retinoid system and Elm’s patent-pending A3O™ Proprietary Complex, the Night Cream delivers visible renewal with a focus on tolerability. Developed in collaboration with Elm’s advisory board of more than 350 dermatologists, scientists, and medical researchers, the formula reflects Elm’s lab-to-patient approach—translating emerging clinical science into real-world skincare solutions.
“We created Elm to answer a personal need for high-performance skincare unlike any other, and with each new launch, we are committed to elevating the standard of excellence to ensure we are offering the best ingredients and formulations. Our new Night Cream is no exception—I’ve been using it consistently and have been loving the results. My skin is noticeably firmer, without the dryness issues that caused me to avoid retinoids in the past,” says co-founder Martha Stewart.
“Our Night Cream uses a unique retinoid system that is more targeted, gentler, and designed for nightly use,” adds Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali, co-founder, board-certified dermatologist, laser surgeon, and biotech entrepreneur. “Traditional retinoids can be difficult for many patients to tolerate. Our mission with Elm has always been to bring innovative solutions to modern problems. We believe that this molecule, combined with our A3O™ Proprietary Complex, will redefine expectations for night creams moving forward. The formula delivers visible renewal while supporting the skin barrier, helping to restore moisture, smooth texture, and enhance radiance—without compromising comfort.”
At the core of the formula is Elm’s A3O-RX™ Complex, an advanced retinoid complex combining the A3O™ Proprietary Complex with Ectoin and Trifarotenyl Caprylate—a sophisticated blend of retinoid alternatives that helps visibly improve texture, clarity, and tone while remaining gentle enough for nightly use. This thoughtfully designed approach delivers noticeable improvement without the irritation, peeling, or downtime typically associated with traditional retinol products. Elm is proud to introduce this dermatologist-developed formula, representing a new generation of targeted retinoid skincare.
“The combination of the A3O™ Complex and Trifarotenyl Caprylate, grounded in a strong scientific foundation of ingredient research and clinical evidence, marks an incredible milestone in retinoid formulations for non-prescription skincare,” states Dr. Raja Sivamani, integrative and board-certified dermatologist, clinical investigator, and longevity scientist.
