What you get: A high-strength Retinal serum, clinically proven to target all 5 visible signs of aging, without irritation - smoothing deep wrinkles, fading dark spots, visibly firming and lifting while boosting skin’s luminosity. Perfect for experienced retinoid users ready to upgrade their anti-aging skincare routine.
Why it works: Formulated with 0.2% encapsulated Retinaldehyde, proven to work 11x faster than standard Retinol***, to accelerate cell turnover, promote collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Enhanced with 2% Sirtalice ™ to visibly lift, tighten and smooth skin in as little as 30 minutes****. Unlike standard retinol serums that require multiple conversion steps, our retinaldehyde formula converts directly to retinoic acid in just one step - delivering faster, more effective anti-aging results.
How it feels: Lightweight, hydrating and fast-absorbing. Skin feels instantly nourished, never drying.
When to use: PM only, 2-3 nights a week to start. Increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Always follow with moisturizer and use SPF the next morning. *** G.
