      WHY WE ♥
      ▸ With a concentration of Retinal Liposome 2% which helps to prevent signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone and texture. In addition with 58% of Black Ginseng Extract which offers antioxidant benefits. 
      ▸ 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.
      ▸ This product is free of common allergens, harsh alcohols, fragrances, oils, paragons, sulphates, silicones, and artificial colours.

    • 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.).
