Scientifically Advanced Formula
At the core of this serum is 1% encapsulated pure retinol, a highly effective retinoid product designed to promote
collagen production and cellular renewal. This delivers long-lasting, visible results by evening skin texture,
improving uneven skin tone and refining pore size.
To minimize irritation, the formula includes a 2.5% neuropeptide, which helps reduce inflammation and strengthen the
skin barrier. The 4.3% Dermaprotective D+ Soothing Complex, enriched with Shea Butter, Vitamin E, and Tocopheryl
Acetate, further enhances skin’s soft texture while providing powerful antioxidant protection against environmental
stress and radical damage.
The addition of pure, stable Vitamin C (ET-VC™) delivers brightening effects, reinforcing the skin’s natural defense
against photo damage and oxidative stress.
Recommended For
- Mature skin seeking improved firmness and elasticity
- Sensitive skin in need of soothing ingredients and minimal irritation
- Anyone incorporating Vitamin C serums into their skincare routine for a comprehensive beauty routine
How to Use
Dermatologists agree: the best way to introduce retinol products is through a gradual integration process.
- Apply to clean skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area.
- Start by using it every other night, then gradually increase to once or twice daily depending on retinol
tolerance.
- Always follow with a moisturizer after retinol to maintain hydration and protect the skin barrier.
- Retinol increases sun sensitivity, making it important to apply broad-spectrum U.V. sun protection with
SPF 50 every morning to shield against sun damage.
