Benefits:
Hyper: Retinol EX 1.0%
Isntree's newest collection: The Hyper Line, features the high-powered actives Niacinamide, Vitamin C, and Retinol in clinically proven formulations. This Retinol EX 1% formula consists of: 0.1% Retinol, 0.3% Retinyl Palmitate and 0.6% Bakuchiol. The addition of retinol alternatives: Retinyl Palmitate (a mild precursor to retinol) and Bakuchiol (a possible natural alternative) allows for a stronger than average, yet gentle retinol. With this anti-aging powerhouse, you should expect improved skin elasticity, minimized pores and fine lines, and reduced pigmentation!
Extras: Peptides, Ceramides, and TECA ™ (Purified Centella)
Peptides and Ceramides are included to ensure a top-of-the-line formulation, with both complementing and boosting the properties of retinol. These also help in strengthening the barrier, preventing moisture loss, and improving skin firmness. Retinoids are usually associated with irritation due to their strong nature, thus TECA, or pure Centella Asiatica is included to reduce irritation, skin inflammation and redness.
How to use:
- After cleansing and toning, apply a couple of drops onto your hands and gently pat onto the skin or apply directly onto the skin
- Follow up with moisturizer after and sunscreen in the morning
- Begin by using a 1-2x a week (every 3-4 days) and make sure to patch test
- Peeling, redness and irritation are normal side effects but if these persist reduce frequency or discontinue use
- Do not use with exfoliants or other hyper actives
