- Type
Retinol (vitamin A) is one of the most clinically validated actives for stimulating skin renewal, improving texture, reducing lines and enhancing tone. This serum combines retinol with vitamins C & E plus skin-barrier lipids to deliver renewed radiance and smoother skin while addressing early signs of ageing. Because retinol can increase sun sensitivity and cause mild irritation for some users, use of a broad-spectrum SPF during the day is essential.
Benefits
- Supports skin barrier with ceramides & barrier lipids
- Suitable for all skin types
