It works by promoting collagen synthesis and skin cell turnover, and increasing dermal water content, to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and help refine skin texture. Retinol is highly sensitive to oxidation, sunlight, acidic conditions, and heavy metals, which results in reduced efficacy. Our specialised version of Retinol is encapsulated and delivered to the skin in a protective, single layer polymeric shell that breaks down upon contact with the skin. This specialised delivery of retinol helps maximise potency and skin benefits.All IngredientsAQUA, PROPANEDIOL, DIMETHICONE, SILICA, GLYCERIN, CELLULOSE ACETATE BUTYRATE, CETEARETH-20, SODIUM POLYACRYLATE, BENZYL ALCOHOL, IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA, TRICAPRYLIN, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, RETINOL, SODIUM HYALURONATE, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE, PHENOXYETHANOLHow to Use:Apply to clean, dry skin.
