Benefits

Retinol enhances the ability of SYN®-AKE (a synthetic Peptide) to penetrate the skin, re-energising Collagen and Elastin production to smooth lines and wrinkles and improve skin’s firmness. Plant Extracts and Olive Oil target breakouts, acne scarring and pigmentation to leave skin soothed and supple.

Key Ingredients

Vitamin A

Retinol is a form of Vitamin A that, once converted to Retinoic Acid, aids cell regeneration to renew and repair the skin, stimulating growth of skin-tightening fibroblasts and strengthening the extracellular matrix at the skin’s base layers.

Peptides

Peptides provide concentrated antioxidant protection, guarding against free radicals to support Collagen production for firmer skin, boosted elasticity and skin-barrier resilience.

How To Use

For the first week of use, start by using one pea-sized amount of Retinol every third evening. For the second week, apply the same amount every second evening, gradually building up to every evening by the third week of use. Apply to clean, dry skin and gently blend outwards in a circular motion, slowly spreading onto the entire face, throat and chest while avoiding the eye area. Please note: it’s quite normal to experience some initial redness and/or some dryness or flakiness when first using Retinol. Keep the faith and your skin will normalise but if you’re at all concerned, double check you’re using the right amount as a first step and consult your skin therapist as a second. For external use only. Rinse thoroughly with water if eye contact occurs. Discontinue if skin irritation occurs.

There's no effect at all until now. Is like an ordinary cream that is worth 8 dollars. There are no active ingredients and cheap ingredients. I can see any difference or even a little effect. Im sorry I just telling the truth.
