Retinol & Rainbow Algae Repair Serum

Key active ingredients

Gentle but effective:

+2% Encapsulated retinol:

0.2% pure retinol is encapsulated in phospholipids, which allow the retinol to penetrate through several layers of the epidermis. Once the phospholipids penetrate the skin they breakdown to release the retinol making its mode of action much more effective. Delivered via this method, the retinol is clinically proven to gently increase cell turnover which in turn helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier function, helping reduce the uneven tone of blemish-scarred skin even on gentle skin using this low level, slow release retinol.

+1.5% Rainbow algae complex:

In vivo studies show this concentration of Rainbow algae complex evens skin tone and provides a brighter complexion of blemish-scarred skin.

+2% Tranexamic acid

This ingredient is proven to work additively with actives like Retinol to supplement evening of skin tone and fading the appearance of acne scarring and hyperpigmentation.

Added benefits:

+3.996% Triolein:
Proven to deliver instant and long term moisturization. Triolein works in tandem with squalane and glycerine (below), to maintain the skin barrier, increase moisturization and reduce Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL).

+4% Squalane
Sustainably sourced from sugarcane, squalane is a go-to moisturizer and helps to keep skin supple and soft and helps maintain a healthy skin barrier function.

+3.75% Glycerine

One of the often-unsung heroes of skin care. Glycerine acts as a humectant holding onto moisture and reducing TEWL thus helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier function.
