WHY WE ♥
▸ Infused with 22,275 spicules, also known as Hydrolyzed Sponge, are ultra fine "needles" derived from freshwater sponges.
▸ The "needles" resemble straws, acting as a supply channel, allowing active ingredients (especially Vitamin C or Retinal) in the following steps of your routine to penetrate more effectively and deeply. Hence suitable for anti-aging effects.
▸ The micro-needles enhance smoother skin texture, minimize enlarged pores, and acts as a booster for product absorption.
▸ With a concentration of Retinal Liposome 12% (0,12 pure retinal) which helps to prevent signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone and texture.
▸ Retinal are directly converted to retinoic acid on the skin and are therefore many times more effective and stable than retinol (retinol > retinal > retinoic acid) for the reduction of wrinkles. The main difference between Retinal and Retinol is the working speed on the skin. Retinal can be 11x faster than traditional retinol.
▸ Liposomes are micro capsules that help increase effectiveness of active ingredients. Liposomes help to stablizie active ingredients (which is retinal in this case) and safely deliver them in deeper skin layers.INGREDIENTS WE ♥
Retinal Liposome (12%): a powerful yet gentle form of Vitamin A that works up to 11 faster than traditional retinol. It rapidly accelerates cell turnover, boosts collagen production, and visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without causing irritation
Black Rice Extract: soothing, healing, moisturizing, brightening
Spicules (22,275): micro-needle like structures that enhance product absorption and stimulate the skin for a smoother, firmer texture
Niacinamide: pore control, antibacterial, brightening, soothing, improves skin texture
Panthenol, Allantoin, Adenosine: anti-inflammatory, soothing, calming
- + HOW TO USE
1. Apply a pea-sized amount to dry skin after cleansing and toning at night. Gently apply to the desired areas.
2. Start using 2-3 times a week, then gradually increase frequency as skin
3. Always apply sunscreen during the day when using retinal products.
4. Apply toner, serum, or cream to help absorb more effectively.
*Always use this product immediately after cleansing, before your regular skincare routine.TIP!
▸ Retinal is deactivated by sunlight, so it is recommended to apply the serum at PM and be covered by SPF in morning.

This product is supposed to be alcohol-free, but I am seeing Cetearyl / Cetyl Alcohol, and such on the ingredient list.. Why?
Not all alchols are bad for your skin. When refering to alcohol-free we would refer to free of Simple Alcohol (Denat, Ethanol, e.d.). Do you want to know more about the differences between these alcohol types, please have a look in our Beauty Class about Ingredients or check out the glossary with common terms used in skincare.
