A transformative encapsulated 1% retinol serum that targets multiple signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, firmness and elasticity, and uneven skin tone and texture for a restored and younger-looking complexion.
DESCRIPTION
This transformative encapsulated 1% retinol serum targets multiple signs of aging. It diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, increases firmness and elasticity, softens skin texture, and improves uneven skin tone. Furthermore, by helping to prevent clogged pores, the serum improves the appearance of blemishes.
The serum is formulated with encapsulated retinol to preserve its potency and prolong its action time. Time-release delivery technology ensures the retinol is released slowly overnight, helping to minimize the risk of irritation. In addition, skin-soothing and hydrating ingredients help reduce signs of sensitivity and counteract dryness.
Ingredients rich in omegas 3, 6, and 9 and powerful antioxidants, including coenzyme-Q10 and green tea extract, maximize the formula's anti-aging benefits, nourish the skin, and strengthen its surface. Skin is left feeling soft, smooth, and supple, and with regular use, the serum helps maintain a visibly restored, radiant, and more youthful complexion.

DISCOVER WHAT'S INSIDE
From potent antioxidants to nourishing plant oils - a detailed review of the key ingredients in the formula.
ENCAPSULATED RETINOL
Retinol (vitamin A) is a time-tested powerhouse ingredient with decades of research proving its anti-aging abilities. It communicates with skin cells, stimulating the skin's natural renewal process to reveal younger-looking skin. This potent ingredient effectively improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, increases firmness and elasticity, and improves skin texture and tone. Beyond that, retinol helps diminish the appearance of blemishes and refines pores. The retinol in this serum is encapsulated to preserve its potency and prolong its action time. Time-release delivery technology ensures the retinol is released slowly overnight, helping to minimize the risk of irritation.
COENZYME-Q10
Coenzyme-Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is an antioxidant that our bodies naturally produce. It serves as a coenzyme vital to the production of energy within cells. As we age, our levels of CoQ10 decrease. Applied topically, CoQ10 helps improve the appearance of signs of aging, defends against environmental stressors, and has a soothing effect on the skin. The CoQ10 we use in our Retinol Serum is combined with vitamin E, another beneficial antioxidant, for its synergistic relationship with CoQ10.
SEA BUCKTHORN SEED OIL
Sea buckthorn seed oil is an ultra-nourishing ingredient with regenerative and anti-aging effects that contains nearly 200 active nutrients. It is rich in fatty acids, including omegas 3, 6, and 9, vitamins A, C, D, E, F, K, P, and B complex vitamins, phytosterols, carotenoids, and strong antioxidants. Furthermore, it contains approximately 36 types of flavonoids, 11 minerals, and 18 amino acids. This versatile seed oil fights free radicals, improves skin elasticity, diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, and strengthens the skin's surface, helping to limit excessive water loss. It also contains soothing properties that improve signs of sensitivity.
SODIUM PCA
Sodium PCA is the sodium salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA), also known as pyroglutamic acid or proline, an amino acid found in proteins. It is a naturally occurring component of human skin and a part of the Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) that maintain skin health. Its chief function is as a humectant, helping skin draw in and retain moisture, resulting in a more supple, youthful appearance.
GREEN TEA EXTRACT
Green tea extract is a powerful ingredient rich in polyphenols called catechins, which contain antioxidant and anti-aging properties. In particular, it is abundant in epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG), a potent catechin that works to scavenge free radicals and defend against environmental stressors that contribute to visible signs of stress and aging. Furthermore, green tea is known for its distinct calming and soothing properties, making it an excellent ingredient for combating signs of sensitivity.
PANTHENOL
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) is a powerful hydrating ingredient that quickly increases hydration while helping decrease the amount of water that evaporates from the skin. In addition, panthenol improves skin barrier recovery and is very effective at calming various signs of sensitivity. When topically applied, it converts to pantothenic acid,
a naturally occurring substance within the body.
CHIA SEED OIL
Chia seed oil is a rich source of essential fatty acids with a 3:1 ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. In fact, chia seeds are the richest plant source of skin-calming omega-3 fatty acids. They are also a rich source of phenolic acids and isoflavones, two potent sources of antioxidants. The fatty acids in chia seed oil calm, hydrate, and aid in barrier recovery, while the antioxidants defend against free radical damage and visibly reduce signs of aging and stress. Skin is left feeling soft, smooth, and supple. The oil does not impart a heavy feeling on the skin and is generally well-tolerated by skin prone to congestion.
