Emulsion Serum with 0.3% Pure Retinol, 3% Vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10 30ml, by BasicLab - RENEWAL AND STIMULATION!

Specialized night serum in the form of a light emulsion with pure retinol 0.3%, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate and coenzyme Q10 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.

The serum is fragrance-free, its slightly perceptible note is due to its composition.

The most important active ingredients:

- Pure 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.

- Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E are strong antioxidants, they effectively neutralize free radicals, have antioxidant properties and slow down the aging process of the skin.

- Ceramides, which are part of 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.

- 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.

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
