Retinol Vitamin A Treatment gives you the results of retinol without the rough first weeks. Ordinary retinol is known for flaking, tightness and redness, and plenty of people give up before they reach the good part.
The irritation comes from a specific place. Ordinary retinol has to be converted by the skin in several steps before it does anything, and those steps are what the skin reacts to. Granactive Retinoid® is a newer generation that skips most of them. That is why it can work at a strength that counts, without the rough few weeks first.
At 2% it goes after uneven texture and pigmentation. In a placebo-controlled study of Granactive Retinoid® over 12 weeks, almost half saw a visible improvement in their skin, nearly twice as many as on placebo and nearly ten times as many as on retinyl palmitate, a mild form of vitamin A.
At the same 0.2% retinoid level we use, Granactive Retinoid was tested on 50 people through nine applications over 21 days, without a single irritation reaction.
Ceramides and hyaluronic acid keep the barrier intact while it works, and fermented lactic acid bacteria help the skin adapt to it. That is what stops the flaking before it starts. In studies, ceramide NP kept skin hydrated for up to 72 hours.
Use the cream in the evening on clean, dry skin, and follow with your moisturiser. Start with a few evenings a week and build up as your skin keeps pace.
If you want to work on uneven texture and pigmentation without a rough start, Retinol Vitamin A Treatment is the cream for you.
The cream is fragrance-free and not greasy.
