Retinol (960 ppm or 0.096% - moderate strength): A derivative of Vitamin A, retinol has been clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and is renowned in the beauty world as the gold standard for anti-aging. Its small molecule size allows it to penetrate deep into the inner layers of the dermis, where it works to keep the skin youthful. It also possesses gentle exfoliating properties.
Niacinamide: A derivative of Vitamin B3 and a potent brightening agent with a multitude of skin benefits. It works effectively to fade pigmentation spots caused by acne scars and/or sun spots. It also improves the skin's overall tone and texture, improves the skin's hydration levels and controls sebum production.
Adenosine: Naturally occurring in the body, adenosine possesses anti-wrinkle properties. It does this by strengthening fibroblast proliferation in the dermal layer and promoting collagen synthesis. It also improves acne due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Directions
At night, apply a pea-sized amount to the face and neck after the toner/serum step. Gently massage into the skin. Follow with your favourite moisturiser/sleeping mask.
If new to retinol, use once per week initially (for a few weeks) then increase frequency to 2-3 times per week. Reduce frequency if redness/irritation occurs.
