How It Works
1% Pure Retinol
Retinol, also known as Vitamin A, is one of the most researched anti-aging skincare ingredients. It helps accelerate skin renewal, improves uneven texture, softens the appearance of wrinkles, and supports a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.
Squalane
Squalane is a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer that helps lock in hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve skin comfort while using active ingredients like retinol.
Together, these ingredients provide effective anti-aging care while helping maintain skin hydration.
