A formula with two types of Retinol, Vitamin B5, and probiotics that hydrate and visibly reduce the signs of aging. It diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, evens out the complexion, increases elasticity, and restores the skin's radiance and firmness. The Retinol face mask works deeply throughout the night to leave skin looking brighter, fresher, and more youthful in the morning.
It contains a new 4th generation retinoid - hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR), which is characterized by higher efficiency and faster action than standard Retinol. It is activated directly in the skin without the need for an additional metabolizing step. HPR is gentle on the skin - non-irritating and non-reddening, meaning that introducing it into your daily anti-aging routine requires no adaptation time. It has an excellent tolerance profile and is very stable. Unlike other retinols, it does not lose its activity after opening and remains effective for a much longer time.
Suitable for:
All skin types
Dry, dehydrated skin
First signs of aging
Fine lines and wrinkles
Gray and withered complexion
Active Ingredients
Retinol 0.5% – A combination of a new generation of retinoids – Hydroxypinacolone retinoate and Retinyl palmitate, which effectively targets signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of density, and volume. On one hand, it has a quick and direct effect, while on the other, it stores retinol reserves in the skin.
Hydroxypinacolone retinoate – HPR
An advanced and proven effective form of Vitamin A, synthesized from Retinoic acid and a small molecule of pinacol. Retinoids (Retinol, Retinaldehyde, Retinyl esters) undergo several metabolic transformations upon application until they reach their biologically active form – Retinoic acid. Regardless of the retinoid applied, it must be converted to Retinoic acid to be absorbed by the skin. HPR is an all-trans direct Retinoic acid ester, skipping the conversion steps of other retinoids. This immediate activation makes it more effective and less aggressive to the skin. Main advantages of HPR: Highly effective – provides fast results by acting directly without the need to metabolize into Retinoic acid. Gentle and tolerant – does not cause irritation, redness, or sensitivity, suitable for all skin types. Stable – HPR maintains its concentration after opening and remains effective for a long time. Photosensitivity – research indicates that HPR makes the skin less sensitive to sunlight than standard retinoids, though sun protection remains essential during use. No adaptation period – unlike standard retinoids, HPR does not irritate the skin and can be introduced into the routine without additional adaptation time. Safety Profile – while no cosmetic ingredient is entirely risk-free, HPR has an excellent safety profile, generally well-tolerated with a lower likelihood of severe side effects, making it appealing for those seeking retinoid benefits with reduced risks. Innovation – HPR represents a breakthrough in skincare science, with its unique chemical structure and mechanism of action showcasing advancements in retinoid research and development, offering promising possibilities for the future of skincare.
Pro-Vitamin B5 – a water-soluble vitamin that strengthens the skin barrier by enhancing moisture retention, supporting deep hydration, improving elasticity, and helping reduce hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Probiotic – restores and enhances skin hydration and barrier functions.
Urea – a potent hydrating ingredient that locks moisture into the skin.
