Advanced Vitamin A
Tretinoin, also known as all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), is well known for its anti-aging effects on skin. However, skin irritation, photochemical instability, and concerns about toxicity have hindered the use of ATRA in cosmetic products.
Typically, milder retinoid derivatives are used, which must first be metabolized to more active forms by several enzymatic steps in the skin, which reduces their potency. Therefore, it is desirable to find new molecules that have increased retinoic acid–like activity without the negative side-effects.
**Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR), a cosmetic grade ester of ATRA, is unique in that it possesses innate retinoic acid activity, binding directly with retinoid receptors without the need for metabolic breakdown to more biologically active forms. It has been demonstrated to be more stable and cause less skin irritation than retinol. (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology 1/9/2018)
KEY INGREDIENTS:
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate
Cosmeceutical grade ester of retinoic acid in a anhydrous matrix that binds directly with skin cell retinoid receptors to supercharge cell turnover. This is important for normalising cell renewal & repair in thin ageing skin.
It renews skin plumpness, elasticity and hydration to provide a radiant and fresh appearance. It restores thickness to skin and helps to fill in fine lines and wrinkles.
Delivers high performance compared to retinol but causes much less skin irritation.
Sodium Hyaluronate
The gold standard in skin moisturisation. It forms a fine breathable film on skin that acts as a reservoir of moisture and nutrients which are slow-released to provide constant rejuvenation.
Caprylic Triglyceride
Strong emollient that softens the skin by trapping moisture in the top layers. Forms a protective barrier on the surface of the skin, preventing water loss to the environment.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide
Often referred to as a “messenger peptide” because of its ability to “tell” skin how to look better. Smoothes wrinkles from the inside by rebuilding the skin where it is needed.
Jojoba Esters
Readily absorbed emollient which provides an occlusive effect with Glycerin holding moisture in and giving skin a healthier and more radiant appearance.
Chondrus Crispus Extract
Outstanding moisturizer of marine origin provides optimal and natural hydration.
Niacinamide
Minimises pore appearance, keeps skin smooth and moisturised.
