How it works

The serum works by combining the exfoliating and rejuvenating properties of retinol and retinal, both derivatives of vitamin A, which are known for their ability to help enhance the appearance of smoother skin texture and reduce visible signs of aging, such as fine lines. Glycerin serves as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Ceramide NP help maintain the skin's barrier and provide moisture, which can enhance the skin's overall hydration. Tocopherol acts as an antioxidant, offering protection against environmental factors, while Bisabolol and Panthenol add soothing qualities, further aiding in skin hydration and comfort.
