Why we stand behind it
This powerful serum combines retinol (a derivative of vitamin A) with the powerful effects of vitamins C and E for superior results. Delivering the same results as retin-A products but without the irritation, it boosts collagen production, helps speed cell turnover with retinol and vitamin C to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and clears pores to help control breakouts.
Key ingredients
Retinol: Uses microencapsulated retinol that does not degrade even in a lower pH environment.
L-ascorbic acid: The most potent vitamin C.
Photoaging repair complex: Proprietary microencapsulated resveratrol and superoxide dismutase (SOD) for a powerful antioxidant boost.
Sodium salicylate: Protects skin, allowing use of an effective amount of retinol without causing undue irritation, making it safe for sensitive skin.
Ceramide complex: Key component of top layer of skin, prevents moisture loss, keeps skin soft and supple.
Coenzyme Q: A powerful antioxidant.
