description

An advanced-strength retinoid serum that delivers a 6.5% solution of stabilised retinoid blends and botanical, retinol-alternative extracts into the skin. Advanced-strength retinoid serum delivers a 6.5% solution of stabilised retinoid blends and botanical, retinol-alternative extracts in to the skin. Combining 5% retinoid ester blend, 1% liposomal-encapsulated retinol blend, and 0.5% blue-green algae with natural, retinoid-alternative activity, this serum fights the signs of ageing and improves the look of congested and UV-damaged skin. Encapsulated CoQ10 helps to improve the appearance of ageing or damaged skin, while Hawaiian white honey, bisabolol, cactus extract and ginger balance and soothe the skin for the appearance of a calmer, even-toned complexion.
