What it is: a potent skincare product, and it's important to clarify that it's not a serum or a cream in the traditional sense. Instead, it falls under the category of a "treatment."
What it does:a skincare powerhouse designed to target a variety of skin concerns. Retinol, a form of Vitamin A, takes center stage, working to stimulate skin renewal and address issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. This potent formula is delivered in a squalane base, which not only helps to maintain skin moisture but also allows for a smoother application. By incorporating this product into your nighttime skincare routine, you can expect to see improvements in skin texture and a more youthful complexion. It's important to start with caution, especially if you're new to retinol, and gradually introduce it to your routine. Always wear sunscreen during the day when using retinol to protect your skin from increased sun sensitivity.
It is an oil-like serum with high strength ideal for the advanced user.
