✔ Phytosphingosine – strengthens the hydrolipid barrier, soothes micro-inflammation, reduces redness and irritation.

✔ CICA (asiaticoside, madecassoside, extract) – soothes and supports building tolerance to retinoids; helpful for acne and discoloration.

✔ Hydroxystearic acid – stimulates collagen synthesis, enhances the anti-wrinkle and brightening effect of retinal.

✔ Vitamin C ( 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid ) – brightens, reduces redness and supports even skin tone without irritation.

✔ Ceramides NP/AP + squalane + oils – rebuild the barrier and limit TEWL, ensure comfort during retinization.

HOW TO USE (in the evening)

Apply a small amount to cleansed, dry skin (avoid the eye and lip area), and wash your hands after application. For first use, use the serum alone to assess tolerance; after 30–40 minutes, you can apply a product from the BALANCE pillar (e.g., a cream/serum with ceramides, trehalose, ectoine). Store in a dry, shaded place, at room temperature. PAO: 6 months.

HOW TO PERFORM RETINAL TREATMENT?

✔ Weeks 1–2: every 5 evenings

✔ Week 3–4: every 3rd–4th evening

✔ Weeks 5–6: every 2–3 evenings

If the skin tolerates the frequency well (approx. 4 times a week), after a 3-day break you can switch to a higher concentration (e.g. 0.07 7% ) and repeat the regimen.

RECOMMENDATIONS

✔ Use SPF 50+ daily and avoid UV exposure; before planning increased exposure, discontinue retinal ~4 weeks in advance.

✔ Initially, redness/flaking/dryness may occur – support the barrier with moisturizing and nourishing cosmetics.

✔ Fragrance-free serum, dermatologically tested on sensitive skin; formula that minimizes the risk of allergies.

✔ Vegan product.
