Description
This powerhouse Retinol based product reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, thickens and strengthens the epidermis and barrier function, all the while decongesting skin and reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. It contains the highest Vitamin A percentage available in over-the-counter skincare.
Retinol is the most widely used retinoid (Vitamin A) in skincare because it is well tolerated by the skin. It is converted to retinoic acid in the skin in a two-step enzymatic process and in this bioavailable form it binds to the retinoic receptors in the keratinocyte. It has a significant effect on improving the appearance of prematurely aged skin as well as reducing hyperpigmentation and dryness. Effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles without inducing skin irritation, Retinol can regenerate the skin, therefore protects the skin from accelerated ageing. Retinol stimulates hyaluronic acid synthesis, improving skin hydration and elasticity which otherwise may lead to wrinkle formation. Retinol being a potent collagen booster, improves skin firmness, fullness, and smoothness. Retinol also helps to control acne by down- regulating the cohesiveness of keratinised skin cells that line and plug the pores.
Active Ingredients
- Retinol (Vitamin A) – this vitamin effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles without inducing skin irritation. Retinol is able to regenerate the skin, therefore prevents the skin from ageing. Also Retinol stimulates Hyaluronic Acid synthesis in dermis and epidermis, therefore improves skin hydration and elasticity which leads to wrinkle formation. Retinol being a potent collagen booster improves skin firmness, fullness and smoothness.
- SK-Influx (Ceramide 1, 3 and 6 complex) – is a lipid concentrate which restores the protective barrier of the skin. It enhances moisturisation, leading to less sensitive and less dry skin. Helps to improve thickness of the skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) – a key component of connective tissue. Hyaluronic Acid restores the skin moisture, plumps the skin and helps to avoid epidermal thinning occurring during ageing.
- Acmella Extract, Paracress – originating from Brazil. Instantly and strongly reduces wrinkles by reducing muscles contraction and thus delays wrinkle formation and their deepening.
- Squalane– moisturising oil to replenish and restore the comfort of the skin.
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E) – a strong anti-oxidant. Protects the skin from premature ageing.
