Specialized serum with pure retinol 2% , coenzyme Q10 and squalane, in the form of a light oil, intended for use at night, contributes to a comprehensive anti-aging and corrective effect.
ACTION:
-
2% pure retinol stimulates long-term renewal processes, making the skin structure visibly improved and the face oval corrected. The face gains youthful firmness and elasticity, and wrinkles are gradually smoothed out.
-
Coenzyme Q10 (INCI: Ubiquinone ) as one of the strongest antioxidants effectively protects the skin, providing it with an anti-radical shield. It dissolves perfectly in fats, thanks to which it easily penetrates deeper layers of the skin, increases its elasticity and firmness, and also smoothes fine wrinkles.
-
Squalane nourishes and improves the elasticity of the epidermis. It has the ability to penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin and strengthen the intercellular cement, thanks to which it protects the epidermis and reduces its sensitivity to external factors. As a strong antioxidant, it effectively slows down the skin's aging processes, and its soothing properties significantly minimize the risk of retinol side effects.
RESULTS:
- firm and visibly improved skin structure and elasticity,
- wrinkles are smoothed and the face oval is corrected,
- minimized sun and hormonal discoloration and acne scars,
- tightened pores and regulated sebum production.
SUITABLE FOR SKIN:
- with acne and imperfections,
- with enlarged pores,
- with acne scars,
- with sun and hormonal discolorations,
- without elasticity and with lost flexibility,
- with the first signs of skin aging,
- with wrinkles.
HOW TO USE:
Apply a small amount of serum in the evening to cleansed and dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip area. After applying the product, we recommend washing your hands thoroughly. Use the serum on its own for the first time to assess the skin's reaction. Eventually, about 30-40 minutes after applying retinol, you can apply the Ceramide cream with a rich consistency.
Store in a dry and dark place, at room temperature.
Product shelf life after opening: 6 months.
HOW TO PERFORM RETINOL TREATMENT?
Always start using retinol with a lower concentration ( e.g. 0.3% or 0.5% ), both when performing the treatment for the first time and when resuming it after a longer break. For the first two weeks, use the serum every fourth evening. If there are no side effects during this period, you can reduce the interval between applications by 1 day after each completed two weeks of treatment as follows:
- Week 1-2 – use every 4th evening
- Week 3-4 – use every 3rd evening
- Week 5-6 – use every other evening
At this point, you will reach the point where you will be using the retinol serum 4 times a week. Only when you are tolerating the product well at this frequency of use (not before!) can you start using a higher concentration of retinol. To do this, take a 3-day break and repeat the above regimen using a more concentrated serum.
WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Due to the content of retinol, the product should not be used by pregnant women. Use during breastfeeding should be consulted with the attending physician.
-
When using retinoids, apply very high sun protection every day, e.g. a light SPF 50+ sunscreen, and avoid sun exposure. Using retinol all year round is acceptable, but before planning increased sun exposure, discontinue using it completely for about 4 weeks in advance.
- In the first weeks of use, you may notice redness, dryness or irritation of the skin, as well as its peeling - this is the result of the skin building up tolerance to this active substance. In such cases, you should use complementary moisturizing, nourishing and hydrolipid barrier rebuilding products.
