Key Ingredients
6% RetiGen Complex™ (Hydroxypinacolone retinoate, green tea, coenzyme 010) Proprietary retinoid blend: A powerful blend of skin perfecting ingredients with the cutting-edge hero retinoid, hydroxypinacolone retinoate, at the centre.
Hydroxypinacolone retinoate: This next generation vitamin A ingredient requires no metabolic conversion by the target cell in order to exert its numerous beneficial effects. Clinical studies demonstrate that hydroxypinacolone retinoate visibly reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles in as little as 14 days, while also brightening clearing, firming and plumping the skin, reducing visible pores and normalising excess oil production.
Coenzyme Q10: Involved in numerous biological functions, including energy production and stabilising free radicals. Coenzyme 010 levels decrease with age resulting in a reduced ability to produce collagen and elastin. Topically applied, this ingredient assists in reversing and preventing the visible signs of ageing.
Green tea: A potent antioxidant that neutralises free radicals and prevents oxidative stress. Green tea is rich in polyphenols and epigallocatechin gallate, which inhibit elastase and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), responsible for the breakdown collagen and elastin. Green tea also inhibits the production of tyrosinase, a key enzyme involved in pigment production, thereby resulting in a brighter and more even complexion.
Folic acid: Folic acid has proven skin regeneration properties and can modulate and increase the rate of DNA repair in UV-damaged skin. Studies demonstrate folic acid's ability to revitalise fibroblast cells, which are responsible hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin production. Folic acid also increases the skin's moisturisation and decreases transepidermal water loss (TEWL) without any significant change of sebum secretion.
Additional ingredients: Dimethyl isosorbide
HPR (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate) is the most active and potent form of Vitamin A on the market right now, next only to prescription retinoids. Clinical studies demonstrate that HPR visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 14 days while also brightening, reducing acne breakouts, and normalising excess oil production. This ingredient truly is the new queen of Vitamin A.
