Features
The Perfect Golden Ratio for Skin Renewal
-
Pure Retinol (0.1%): A stable, low-irritation dose that accelerates skin cell turnover and boosts collagen production to diminish fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol): Boasts up to 50 times the antioxidative power of standard Vitamin E, working in synergy with retinol to repair skin damage and fight free radicals.
-
Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Deeply hydrates and soothes the skin, reducing redness and strengthening the moisture barrier.
-
Adenosine: A certified functional ingredient for wrinkle repair and skin elasticity.
Why It’s a K-Beauty Game Changer:
-
Multi-Target Treatment: Not just for the face—this cream is the perfect anti-aging eye cream and neck treatment to prevent "tech neck" lines and crow's feet.
-
Pore & Texture Refining: Helps to unclog pores and smooth out rough skin patches, leaving your complexion clear and refined.
-
Low-Irritation Formula: Dermatologically tested and safe for sensitive skin types looking to start their pro-aging journey.
-
Innovative Packaging: Housed in an aluminum tube to protect the stability of the pure retinol from light and air.
How to Use
-
The "1-2-1" Rule: During the first 2 weeks, use it every other night (only a pea-sized amount) to let your skin adapt.
-
Step Up: After 2 weeks, if no irritation occurs, increase to every night.
-
Application: Apply to targeted areas like the undereye, forehead, and nasolabial folds after your moisturizer.
-
Sun Protection: Retinol increases sun sensitivity. Always apply SPF 30+ during the day while using this product.
