Powered by Retinaldehyde - an encapsulated and ultra stabilized bio-active form of Vitamin A that gradually and effectively converts to Retinoic Acid within the skin in one step, thus bypassing irritation. Retinaldehyde is far less irritating compared to other Retinoids and has one less step involved in the conversion to Retinoic Acid. It is known to have strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Retinaldehyde boosts and protects collagen, increases cell turnover and enhances barrier function.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
- Retinaldehyde: 0.10% Encapsulated Retinaldehyde, this ultra-strength concentration of Vitamin A repairs connective tissue in the skin, boosts collagen synthesis for age defying benefits and increases elasticity while targeting fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and uneven skin texture. Retinaldehyde also balances sebaceous oil production shrinking the skin's pores to prevent them from getting clogged and inflamed. Retinaldehyde only needs one conversion in the skin to retinoic acid, whereas traditional retinol needs two. This means faster and more effective results with less redness and irritation*.
- White Willow Bark, Lactic Acid, Azelaic Acid and Fulvic Acid: Further help minimize pores, reduce acne scarring, sun spots and pigmentation*.
- Zinc Gluconate: Promotes skin healing, reduces hormonal effects on the skin and helps fight against acne*.
- Hydrolyzed Fucoidan: Laminaria Algae, acts as a repairing agent by stimulating metabolism of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis. Helps reverse the signs of aging by bringing back the skin’s structure and firmness*.
- Peptides: Help mimic the body’s own collagen production mechanism. This compensates for any collagen deficit in the skin and helps make the skin look younger, decrease wrinkles and helps create a lifting effect to the skin*.
- Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Niacinamide, Resveratrol: Powerful antioxidants, energize cell activity, help reduce sun damage,even out skin tone and improve hydration*.
- Oligosaccharides: Obtained from sweet white lupine and alfalfa, rich in low molecular weight glutaminated peptides promote synthesis of epidermal proteins and lipids, limits the trans epidermal water losses and reinforces the barrier function of the skin.
