Description

This formulation contains 2% granactive retinoid (hydroxypinacolone retinoate), a next-generation retinoid known for its effectiveness in promoting skin renewal without the irritation commonly associated with traditional retinol. The emulsion format provides a hydrating and smooth application.

Key Benefits

1. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and improve skin elasticity.
2. Improves Skin Texture: Promotes cell turnover for a smoother and more refined complexion.
3. Gentle on Skin: Less likely to cause irritation compared to traditional retinoids, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
4. Hydrating: The emulsion formula helps maintain moisture balance while delivering active ingredients.

How to Use

1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities.
2. Apply: Use a few drops of the emulsion and gently massage it into your face, avoiding the eye area.
3. Moisturize: Follow up with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
4. Frequency: Use in the evening, starting with 1-2 times a week and gradually increasing as your skin builds tolerance.

Note

• Always perform a patch test when introducing new products, especially if you have sensitive skin.
• Use sunscreen during the day, as retinoids can increase sun sensitivity. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use.
