BasicLab Esteticus Corrective Serum with Retinal 0.05% for Night 15 ml
A lightweight, vegan evening care emulsion that combines 0.05% pure retinal with phytosphingosine and CICA (Centella asiatica) to effectively stimulate skin renewal, firm and plump the skin, and reduce the number and depth of wrinkles. Its antibacterial and sebum-regulating properties make si perfect for acne-prone skin (including those with enlarged pores), while its soothing base helps build tolerance from the very first step of retinal treatment.

✔ Vitamin C ( 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid ) – brightens, supports even skin tone, soothes micro-inflammation.
✔ Ceramides NP/AP + squalane + oils – rebuild the barrier, limit TEWL and increase comfort during the treatment.

HOW TO USE

Ultimately, 30–40 minutes after applying the retinol, you can add a product from the BALANCE pillar (e.g., a cream/serum with ceramides, trehalose, or ectoine). Store in a dry, shaded place at room temperature. PAO: 6 months.
