INGREDIENTS:
- Retinol 0.1%: Retinol gets activated within the cellular structure of the skin and protects against degradation of collagen, and improves the elasticity of the skin.
- Encapsulated Beta carotene (Vitamin A) + carrot root extract 1.5%: Beta carotene is a powerful natural antioxidant, which creates an environment that allows retinol to flourish while protecting the skin from sun damage.
- Plant-derived squalane 1%: Formulated to supplement the existing squalane in the sebum of our skin, which creates a barrier on the surface, this helps your skin maintain the right balance of oil and water and keeps it nourished and moisturised.
- Sodium hyaluronate: 0.1% - This low-molecular-weight (40-60 kDa) mucopolysaccharide, gets easily absorbed into the lower layer of the skin and binds water serving as a natural humectant providing intense moisturisation and elasticity to the skin.
