RETINOL SERUM

An elegant delivery of a sophisticated Retinol that is stable and fast-acting in a delivery system of stabilizers and other antioxidants such as Rosemary and Black Currant.  

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a cosmetic grade ester of all-trans retinoic acid. This skincare active ingredient belongs to a class of chemical compounds termed retinoids, which are natural and synthetic derivatives of Vitamin A capable of binding to retinoid receptors. The binding of retinoid receptors can enhance gene expression, which effectively turns key cellular functions on and off. When skin cell retinoid receptors are bound with retinoids, a cascade of mechanisms that benefit skin complexion is switched on. This can result in enhanced cell proliferation, biosynthesis of extracellular proteins and glycans, and improved cellular turnover. Stimulating these age-defying processes in the skin is critical for fighting and reversing signs of aging. 

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, is a next-generation anti-aging product, delivering the performance of retinol and retinoid derivatives with significantly lower irritation potential, thus supporting clear, visibly more youthful-looking skin with better consumer acceptance. The mechanism of action of Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is advanced compared to retinol derivatives. To interact with retinoid receptors, retinol must first be metabolized to more active forms, such as retinaldehyde and retinoic acid using several enzymatic steps. 

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, is unique in that it processes innate retinoic activity, binding directly with retinoid receptors without the need for metabolic breakdown to more biologically active forms. Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is dermatologically tested to offer less irritation potential than retinol, providing a gentle, safe and effective anti-aging retinoid. 

Apply serum to face or body areas.  Use twice a day for best results. Avoid direct contact with eyes, if eye irritation develops flush with water. Use in conjunction with our Vitamin C Serum or Anti-aging Serum for even better results.
