Retinol must only be used at night and applied in a pea-size amount. Medium-strength retinol should only be used 2x a week at first until the skin adjusts, to avoid drying and skin sensitivities. After 1 month, the user may increase to every other day and possible everyday thereafter, if tolerated. Apply with smooth strokes evenly and allow to dry before sleep. To avoid skin irritation, avoid overly massaging into skin upon application.
Retinol is one of the most efficient vitamins with anti-aging potential for stimulating collagen production and accelerating cell renewal rate. Our slow-release encapsulated retinol is 5x more stable and 3x more potent in promoting collagen production than regular retinol.
Retinol begins to thicken skin with long-term use and this is the ideal strategy to combating fine lines and wrinkles. Results can be observed within 3 months and maximum results achieved at 12 months.
Squalane
Squalane is known for its deep moisturising capability, protecting the skin’s natural barrier. Squalane is best used as an ingredient to support the effects of other active ingredients by preventing or treating dryness and maintaining the skin barrier. Squalane contains emollient properties as it forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, preventing moisture loss and keeping the skin hydrated. This is an important duo to combat the potential drying effects of retinol.
