Extra-strength retinol serum is an anti-aging powerhouse combining two energetic ingredients (retinol & glycolic acid) that use physical & chemical forces, providing much better results than each ingredient used alone.
Active ingredients:
Retinol (Vit. A) and glycolic acid revitalize your skin through exfoliation. Retinol is a renewing vitamin essential for tissue growth while glycolic acid is more natural to the skin and helps strengthen collagen & elastin while also brightening your complexion. Combined, they create an energized & synergized complex to coax your skin to reselect its epidermal building blocks, slowly maneuvering wrinkles and sustaining adult keratins to give way to smoother, more wrinkle-resistant fetal-type keratins.
Glucosamine stimulates hyaluronic acid production, improving skin hydration, decreasing wrinkles, and accelerating wound healing. It also inhibits melanin production to treat & prevent hyperpigmentation and reduces redness & irritation.
D-beta-fructan increases moisture retention, making your skin softer & smoother, and helps soothe distressed skin, improving the health of your microbiome.
Aminoguanidine improves skin tissue morphology (its physical appearance), reduces inflammation & oxidative stress, and works with glucosamine to reduce age-related pigmentation.
When using retinol and glycolic acid together irritation, such as dryness, itching, peeling, and flaking can occur, especially if your skin is sensitive. Use extra strength retinol serum only at night and cut back use to 1-3 times a week if irritation occurs until your skin builds up a tolerance to retinol. Applying a skin-soothing treatment after use helps calm irritation.
AHAs can increase skin sensitivity to the sun resulting in sunburn. Use sunscreen daily, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure when using this product.
SPF-30 Moisturizing Sunscreen with titanium dioxide and SPF-30 Gel Moisturizer with oxybenzone provide broad-spectrum protection against harmful UVA/UVB radiation.
Retinol serum may not be suitable for susceptible skin prone to sensitivity. Consult a dermatologist before use.
