VT Cosmetics Cica Reti-A Cream 0.05 is a retinol and centella cream that maintains skin elasticity and tone, evens texture, and minimizes the appearance of fine lines. It reduces pore size and brightens sebaceous filaments while fading post-acne marks.
The key active is 0.05% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, one of the most effective forms of retinol. Upon application, it converts directly into retinoic acid, bypassing other transformation stages for gentler and faster results. It has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces acne risk, regulates sebum production, and smooths texture by minimizing pores.
Additional Active Ingredients:
- Cicahyalon™ Complex (hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica derivatives, green propolis) hydrates, soothes itching and irritation, reduces sensitivity, and strengthens the protective barrier.
- Bakuchiol — a plant-based ingredient with retinol-like action: stimulates renewal and makes skin smoother and more even. Does not cause irritation.
- Collagen helps retain moisture, improves texture, activates repair processes, and combats wrinkles.
- Niacinamide slows melanin transfer to the surface layer, preventing pigment spot formation. Regulates sebum production, reduces shine, and minimizes pores.
- Hibiscus Extract gently exfoliates, triggers regeneration, provides antioxidant activity, and evens tone.
- Cornflower Extract is rich in vitamins and minerals, soothes irritation and redness.
Suitable for normal, combination, and oily skin.
How to Use: After cleansing, toning, and applying serum, apply cream to face and smooth over skin. During the day, use SPF50+ sunscreen.
Precautions: Do not use simultaneously with exfoliants or scrubs, or with products containing AHA, BHA, or high-concentration vitamin C. Do not use during current or planned pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or after cosmetic procedures. If you're new to retinol, start with 2-3 times per week and gradually increase frequency.
