Emulsion Serum with 1% Pure Retinol, 5% Vitamin C and 2% Stem Cells from Asiatic Pennywort 30ml, by BasicLab - RENEWAL AND STIMULATION!
Specialized night serum in the form of a light emulsion with pure, stable 1% retinol, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, coenzyme Q10 and stem cells from Asiatic Pennywort has an effective anti-wrinkle and corrective effect. By stimulating the skin to renew, it clearly improves its structure and firmness, smoothes it and reduces the visibility of pores and wrinkles. At the same time, the optimal combination of soothing and moisturizing ingredients reduces the effects of building the skin's tolerance to retinol, accelerating its regeneration, strengthening the hydrolipid barrier, effectively protecting it against moisture loss and reducing redness and flaking.
Attention! It is recommended to use the product only after building the skin's tolerance to a lower concentration of retinol. When you come into contact with this active ingredient for the first time or come back to using it after a longer break, we suggest purchasing an Emulsion Serum with 0.3% pure retinol or a Serum with 0.5% pure retinol.
The serum is fragrance-free, its slightly perceptible note is due to its composition.
The most important active ingredients:
- Pure, stable retinol stimulates collagen synthesis in the long term, smoothing wrinkles and correcting the face oval. The skin gains youthful firmness and elasticity, and its structure is clearly improved.
- Vitamin C in the form of ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate firms and tones the skin, prevents sebum oxidation and has a lightening effect, inhibiting melanin synthesis. Together with retinol, it effectively reduces discoloration, scars and acne lesions.
- The content of strong antioxidants, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E, effectively neutralizes free radicals, has an antioxidant effect and slows down the aging process of the skin.
- Stem cells from Asiatic Pennywort support the regeneration of the epidermis, reducing and soothing redness. They also improve the skin structure, increasing its firmness and elasticity, and thus contribute to reducing the visibility of pores and wrinkles.
- The ceramides contained in the intercellular cement strengthen the natural protective barrier of the skin, accelerating its regeneration and effectively protecting it against moisture loss. Together with cholesterol and pentavitin, they perfectly improve the appearance of dry skin, reducing flaking and itching, soothing and providing it with long-term protection.
- The synergy of low- and ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid increases skin elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Together with trehalose, thanks to their hygroscopic properties, they limit the transepidermal water loss.
- Fleischer willowherb extract comprehensively improves the appearance of oily or acne-prone skin, reducing the secretion of sebum, reducing the visibility of pores and reducing inflammation.
- Baikal thyroid extract has strong anti-inflammatory properties, limiting the spread of inflammation, which effectively delays the aging process of the skin. It becomes less sensitive, more hydrated and firmer.
- Hydroxystearic acid reduces the harmful effects of UV radiation, contributing to the reduction of discoloration and the so-called lentil spots. In addition, it stimulates the production of collagen, together with retinol, causing a significant increase in skin firmness.
Who is the Emulsion Serum with 1% Pure Retinol recommended for?
- To everyone, regardless of skin type.
- Especially for people with acne skin, with imperfections, with enlarged pores, with acne scars and with sun and hormonal discoloration.
- People whose skin lacks elasticity and elasticity, with the first signs of aging, with wrinkles and mature skin
- As retinol penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, women during pregnancy and breastfeeding SHOULD NOT use it.
Directions for use:
We conduct the retinol treatment in the fall-winter season (approximately from September to March / April). When using retinol in care, we absolutely apply high SPF50 + sun protection for the day and avoid sun exposure. It should also be remembered that during the treatment with retinol, the skin requires increased hydration and regeneration.
- We start using retinol always from a lower concentration, i.e. 0.3 or 0.5% - both when carrying out the treatment for the first time and resuming it after a longer break.
- We introduce retinol gradually, during the first 2 weeks, using every 4-5 evening. After every two weeks, we reduce the interval between applications by 1 day.
- We apply it only once a day, only in the evening care, on clean and dry skin, avoiding the eye area.
- At the beginning of introducing retinol into care, we apply it ourselves to observe the skin reaction. Ultimately, approx. 30-40 minutes after applying retinol, you can apply a moisturizing and regenerating product, e.g. a serum with ceramides and / or a lipid cream for winter.
- In the first weeks of use, you can observe redness, dryness or irritation of the skin, as well as its peeling - this is the result of building the skin's tolerance to this active substance.
- We switch to a higher concentration of retinol at the earliest when the skin tolerates the use of a lower minimum 4-5 times a week.
- We also introduce a higher concentration "from scratch", building skin tolerance - first every 4 days, gradually increasing the frequency over time.
The use of retinol throughout the year is acceptable, but in the spring and summer period it is worth switching to a lower concentration, and when planning increased exposure to the sun, stop it completely for about 4 weeks earlier.
Store in a dry, shaded place at room temperature.
Expiry date: min. 3 months unless stated differently in the title or description
