A revolutionary rejuvenating serum with a high concentration of retinol liposomes. The product can be used in the evening, regularly, combined with a sun protector during the day. If the skin is dry or a little sensitive, simply reduce the frequency of application. Super Retinol Fluid is an excellent product for those who want to regain smooth, youthful skin. The result is a significant improvement in skin elasticity, firmness, pigmentation and hydration. All of these effects go hand in hand, without redness, dryness or peeling of the skin.

A concentrate of active ingredients that includes retinol liposomes and bakuchiol:

• Bakuchiol is a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory active ingredient from bakuchiol seeds that targets wrinkles and skin aging. Bakuchiol is a meroterpene, obtained from the babchi plant (Psoralea corylifolia), predominant in East Asia. Psoralea corylifolia, commonly known as babchi, is a popular herb used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for its magical effects and to cure various skin diseases. Chinese and Indian medical experts have used bakuchiol for years to relieve several skin conditions and treat wounds. The plant is also studied in pharmacology for its chemoprotective, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Bakuchiol is a real alternative to retinol because it has no negative side effects. Bakuchiol can be used during the day and is better tolerated by the skin than retinol. It has the same effects as retinol without the drawbacks. It stimulates key anti-aging genes, for example those for binding and metabolizing retinoids. It is also an antioxidant, a collagen stimulator and an inhibitor of lipoperoxidation.

• Retinol liposomes allow products to benefit from a high retinol loading while providing consumers with significantly lower irritation and better effectiveness than free retinol. Liposome technology improves the bioavailability of active ingredients for the skin.

• ET-Vitamin C is a multifunctional vitamin C derivative with excellent anti-inflammatory, anti-free radical and collagen-stimulating effect. Its stability is superior to other ascorbic acid derivatives. Ethyl ascorbic acid is a molecule produced by modifying ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C. This modification is done to increase the stability of the molecule and improve its transport through the skin, as pure vitamin C degrades easily. It has a strong stimulating effect on collagen to strengthen the dermis in addition to interfering with inflammatory cytokines and reversing the production of free radicals.

• Niacinamide (nicotinamide) is one of the two forms of Vitamin B3; niacin (or nicotinic acid) being the other, both providing equivalent vitamin activity. As an essential component of living cells, vitamin B3 is essential for the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Niacinamide is a precursor in the synthesis of the pyridine coenzymes NAD and NADP involved in cellular metabolism, and as such it plays a key role in energy production. Our niacinamide is sourced from Switzerland and of extra purified quality with a low amount of nicotinic acid. Niacinamide is one of the most researched skin care ingredients. Numerous peer-reviewed studies have revealed its numerous skin benefits, including clinically proven effectiveness in brightening skin, reducing acne and blemishes, improving the skin barrier, and rebalancing the skin microbiome.

• Hesperidin is a bioflavonoid present in high concentrations in citrus fruits, including lemon, orange and grapefruit. Hesperidin is antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, healing, whitening and improves microcirculation.

• Natural alpha-bisabolol is a major constituent of chamomile, which has been used in traditional European medicines for hundreds of years. Chamomile essential oil contains up to 50% alpha-bisabolol. Alpha-bisabolol has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, as well as antibacterial effects. Specifically, it is a potent inhibitor of mold, Candida albicans and gram-positive bacteria.

• Vitamin E is a fat-soluble component with anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin E helps support cellular function and skin health. It is an effective antioxidant to combat the effects of free radicals. Vitamin E may be beneficial in reducing UV damage to the skin and reducing the symptoms of atopic dermatitis. UV light and sun exposure reduce vitamin E levels in the skin.
