Beginners 0.05% Retinal Antioxidant Peptide Cerum

Retinaldehyde (Retinal) is a powerful derivative from the retinoid family, second only to retinoic acid in terms of effectiveness and efficiency for achieving youthful, clear skin. Thanks to its multi-functional benefits, this ingredient boosts cell turnover to reduce hyperpigmentation and acne breakouts, while also promoting collagen production and preventing collagen breakdown for a thicker, firmer complexion with reduced wrinkles. Retinaldehyde is safer and less irritating than other retinoids. To achieve these results, a minimum concentration of 0.025%* retinaldehyde is recommended. At 0.05%, it is tolerable for most skin types including those with sensitive skin. Like all retinoids, it should be used at night only, due to its instability in sunlight.

Decorinyl® is a liposome tetrapeptide that mimics the structure of decorin, a protein that binds to collagen fibrils and plays a crucial role in skin repair and maintenance. As we age, the quality of decorin decreases, and this peptide can help improve this, resulting in smoother, resilient skin.

Edelweiss Extract (Leontopodium Alpinum Extract), with its high chlorogenic acids content and unique leontopodic acid profile helps the skin resist the oxidative stress brought on by environmental aggressors and averts the natural decline of skin elasticity and dermal density to maintain a firm and lifted overall youthful appearance.

Niacinamide is important in skincare in many aspects and has many different benefits depending on its concentration in the product. At 3.5%, niacinamide improves barrier function, decreases TEWL, smoothen and brighten skin tone.

Geranylgeranyl-Isopropanol is a Nobel prize winning high-tech ingredient with compelling anti-ageing benefits for the skin. It protects the skin from oxidative stress and helps stabilise skin’s telomere length. With each skin cycle turnover, the telomere length shortens, but by maintaining telomere length, the skin can maintain its youthful complexion longer.

*Recommendation based on our trusted supplier's research.

After cleansing, toning and hydrating the skin, apply a small amount of serum directly onto face and neck, follow with our Skin Barrier Health Moisturiser for best results.

Use only in the evening before bedtime in your skincare routine. Preferably when the skin is no longer expose to sunlight.

Sunscreen is recommended during the daytime when incorporating this serum into your routine.

It is advised to use sunscreen while using retinoids in your skincare routine, as their exfoliating properties may leave young skin more vulnerable to sunlight. Additionally, the decrease in melanin production caused by retinoid use may reduce your skin's natural protection against the sun. It is important to not only treat your skin, but also take precautions to prevent further damage. This step is crucial in achieving desired results from your skincare regimen.

Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
