Check the stick and let it work wonders! This super-effective nourishing serum-balm is filled with 10% super-powered encapsulated retinol microspheres with gradual release and plant oils to ensure a perfect complexion.

Active Ingredients:

Encapsulated retinol microspheres with gradual release - Agar microspheres obtained through transacylation allow for the encapsulation of retinol. This technology ensures that the microspheres reach the epidermis, where they gradually open under the action of various skin enzymes and slowly release retinol. This slow membrane absorption leads to a gradual release of encapsulated retinol for better bioavailability, effectiveness, and less irritation. Thus, retinol contacts the skin and is absorbed throughout the day. The modified release kinetics provided by encapsulation make the component biocompatible and hypoallergenic.

GMOD™ - an exclusive bioscientific complex that combines extracts of medicinal burdock, stem cells of two-flowered dolichos, and glycochins. It enhances the effectiveness of all ingredients, helps hydrate the surface and deep layers of the skin, and increases its elasticity and resistance. It stimulates the neosynthesis of hyaluronic acid and supports its metabolism. It improves skin elasticity and firmness, preventing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging, providing complete rejuvenation at 360° through increased expression of youth proteins. It offers multi-dimensional protection against photoaging and detoxifies cells.

Shea butter - a plant lipid extracted from the shea tree, used as an emollient, and its properties smooth the surface of dry skin. Shea butter not only has a rich texture but is also a rich source of vitamin E, antioxidants including quercetin, epicatechin gallate, catechin gallate, epigallocatechin, as well as skin-repairing fatty acids (stearic and linoleic). These protect against dryness and soothe irritation.

Astaxanthin – a natural red pigment obtained from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. It is considered the most powerful natural antioxidant, lacking pro-oxidant nature, and is highly effective against active oxygen molecules. In addition to its antioxidant potential, the component has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. It has been shown to improve overall skin condition and counteract aging, providing comprehensive protection against oxidative degradation. Positive effects have been demonstrated, particularly concerning elasticity, moisture retention, reduction of pigment spots, depth of wrinkles, and skin texture. Astaxanthin improves skin elasticity by strengthening collagen and revitalizing stressed skin, neutralizing free radicals in all layers of the dermis. It can restore the natural antioxidant balance of the skin and protect cell membranes from lipid peroxidation.

Omega-3, -6, -9 Polyglycerides (plant-derived) - provide necessary hydration by retaining moisture. Possessing excellent anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, they help reduce irritation and protect the skin from environmental factors.

4 organic oils (soybean, sea buckthorn, jojoba, sunflower) - nutrient-rich organic oils without fragrance enhance the skin's restorative properties and have a soothing effect. They are a rich source of numerous fatty acids and antioxidants. They give the skin a healthy and youthful appearance, preventing moisture loss in the epidermis, restoring the skin surface, and increasing the supply of antioxidants to the skin while protecting against harmful environmental influences.

Vitamin E - contributes to skin health and hydration, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Naturally present in human skin, it is a powerful natural antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and protects against photoaging.

Apply the stick directly to areas requiring increased attention from retinol. Gradually introduce it into your daily skincare routine. For building a retinol care regimen, be sure to consult a specialist for advice.
