A-mazing Retinol Retinal Emulsion

• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a high-performing retinoic ester with the power of retinol without sensitization and superior stability.
• Granactive retinoid belongs to the next generation of retinoids. It is sometimes referred to as hydroxypinacolone retinoate or HPR.
• It's gentler than retinol. This is because granactive retinoid combines with a solvent that can improve skin absorption and tolerability.
• So it's less likely to cause irritation or redness even at higher concentrations.
• Compared to the other types of retinoids, granactive retinoid is a synthetic retinoic acid ester.
• Upon absorption, it is metabolized into both retinol and retinoic acid.
• That means it doesn't need to wait for retinol to undergo conversion, and your cells can immediately metabolize it. As such, you can enjoy the multiple skin perfecting benefits much faster.

Retinal (also known as retinaldehyde) behaves similarly to the better-known retinol but is much more stable and effective. When the body does not use vitamin A, it is stored within the skin cells as retinyl esters. Once the skin is ready to metabolize vitamin A, these esters are converted to retinol and then to retinaldehyde before ultimately becoming retinoic acid that is utilized by the skin.
That's why all variations of vitamin A, including retinol and retinal, must be converted to retinoic acid before they can take effect. Retinol must be metabolized to retinal and then to retinoic acid, whereas retinal only requires one conversion to retinoic acid. Crucially, this last step is extremely rapid compared to the previous conversions, which is why Retinal can provide such quick results (up to 11 times faster) than retinol. In addition, retinal has a much higher exfoliation rate than retinol to reduce skin roughness and increase dermal thickness, collagen strength, and new collagen fibers.
These benefits can be delivered without the skin irritation effects often accompanying retinoic acid.

An exclusive complex with three powerful active ingredients:

• A patented peptide that rejuvenates the skin from within by stimulating the regenerative properties of growth factors while increasing the level of the youth protein GDF11, reactivating skin cells to behave more youthfully.
• An active ingredient derived from Dolichos plant cell cultures. Concentrated fractions from Dolichos biflorus cell cultures deliver an effective composition of active molecules from the entire plant, helping to combat various signs of photoaging.
• Oligosaccharides from acetylated glucuronic acid, obtained through biofermentation, structurally and functionally mimic the hyaluronic acid fragments naturally found in the skin. Glycokines have been proven to stimulate hyaluronic acid synthesis and support the continuous renewal of hyaluronic acid.

• A vegan skincare ingredient found in the leaves and seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. It is a potent antioxidant, a natural alternative to retinol, visibly fades discolorations from environmental exposure and post-breakout marks, and has a noticeable restoring and soothing effect on the skin.
• Also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• The soothing properties help calm and minimize sensitivity and reactivity issues.

Oligohyaluron >4 kDalton
Oligo hyaluronic acid is undisputedly the holy grail of hyaluronic acids, with an extremely low molecular weight that allows it to be absorbed deepest into the skin.
It is stored in the connective tissue, which leads to a longer-lasting plumping effect and anti-wrinkle impact. In addition, the skin appears noticeably firmer due to the extra moisture.
Thanks to transdermal absorption, the extremely short-chain molecules lead to particularly deep, lasting hydration and contribute to the repair of damaged cells

Contains nourishing fatty acids (oleic and linoleic acids). They improve the skin's ceramides.
Has moisturizing & skin-restoring properties.

An antioxidant rich regenerating oil, it contains vitamin A, C, and E, which helps stimulate cell turnover, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Softens the skin, promotes radiance, provides deep nourishment, and strengthens the skin barrier.

Improves skin hydration by attracting water molecules; also has anti-inflammatory benefits that calm and soothe skin. A perfect hydrating ingredient, also known as provitamin B5, it attracts and retains moisture, increasing skin hydration while decreasing trans epidermal water loss.
Helps to reduce sensitivity-induced redness and supports healing and barrier repair.

Fades discolorations, including stubborn dark spots and gray patches, help to reduce sensitivity-induced redness in the skin.
Also suitable for melasma-prone skin and rivals the results of over-the-counter concentrations of hydroquinone.
