This formulation combines two forms of next-generation retinoid actives in a combined concentration of 2% by weight:
These two actives are:
a) Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a highly-advanced form of retinoid which is, in fact, a non-prescription ester of all-trans direct retinoic acid that offers a multi-fold better effect against signs of ageing than retinol, retinyl palmitate and nearly all other forms of non-prescription retinoid;
b) a sustained-delivery form of pure retinol in a protective capsule system which supports both the delivery and the effect of Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate. Both forms of retinoid used avoid the irritation associated with retinoid (including retinol) use while delivering better visible results against signs of ageing.
How To Use:
- Apply a small amount to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments
- Do not use with other retinoid treatments
- Avoid unprotected solar exposure
- If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician
- Use only as directed on unbroken skin
- Patch testing prior to use is advised. Refer to our in-depth guide to patch testing
- Keep out of reach of children. Refrigerate after opening
