Potent Retinol Serum Concentrate 1%

Description

A potent Retinol gel-serum combined with Niacinamide, Vitamin E and plant extracts.

This product is formulated to help rejuvenate the appearance of the skin and give an overall improvement to skin texture.

Manufactured and packaged under nitrogen, into airless containers.

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?
– Thickens the epidermis
– 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

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.
