1% Retinoid Complex with 6 Forms of Vitamin A:
- HPR (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate) - 4th generation retinol form that works faster with less skin irritation. Accelerates cellular renewal and activates cell receptors to signal collagen and hyaluronic acid production. Reduces wrinkles and creases, tightens pores, brightens pigmentation, prevents oily shine and acne.
- Retinal - Powerful vitamin A form that immediately transforms into retinoic acid. Anti-aging action that stimulates cell renewal.
- Retinol - Most common retinoid type that transforms into retinal, then retinoic acid. Anti-aging and anti-acne action.
- Retinyl Retinoate - Modern retinol form that triggers hyaluronic acid production, suppresses inflammatory processes, and works faster with less irritation.
- Retinyl Palmitate + Retinyl Linoleate - Vitamin A esters that transform first into retinol, then retinal, and finally retinoic acid upon entering skin. Provide antioxidant action and slow aging process.
Key ingredients:
- Hydrolyzed Collagen 260 Da (3%) - Penetrates deep into epidermis, hydrates, helps skin retain moisture, improves texture, and stimulates recovery processes.
- Bakuchiol - Plant-based substance with retinol-like action: stimulates renewal and makes skin smoother and more even. Doesn't cause irritation, suitable for sensitive skin. Stabilizes retinoids and enhances their effect.
- Centella Asiatica Extract - Prevents irritation and redness appearance, reduces sensitivity, and suppresses inflammation.
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5) - Accelerates healing, softens, soothes redness, and improves barrier functions.
- Ceramides - Similar to epidermal lipids: strengthen natural protective layer, eliminate flaking and dryness, prevent moisture loss, and reduce sensitivity to external irritants.
