A potent Retinol gel-serum combined with Niacinamide, Vitamin E and plant extracts.
Formulated to help rejuvenate the appearance of the skin and give an overall improvement to skin texture.
Retinol exhibits powerful anti-aging action by increasing the production of epidermal cells, endothelial cells (increases dermal vascularity/assists wound healing) and fibroblasts (synthesizes collagen and the extracellular matrix) and inhibiting collagen degrading enzymes.
How does Retinol benefit the skin?
- Stimulates collagen production
- Increase in skin firmness
- Increase in cellular renewal
- Decreases fine lines and wrinkles
- Regulate oil production and reduce acne/blemishes
- Brightens and evens out skin tone
- Increases wound healing
- Thickens the epidermis
Considerably less erythema, irritation, TEWL compared to trans retinoic acid.
Retinol boosts the effects of hydroxy acid peels due to increased cellular renewal, increased epidermal healing and enhanced penetration of the peeling agent. Retinol can be resumed after all evidence of peeling and irritation subsides.
Manufactured and packaged under nitrogen, into airless containers.
