Ausceuticals Retinol Serum
DESCRIPTION
Ausceuticals Retinol Serum is a power-packed 1% retinol serum to help diminish signs of ageing, aid in combatting acne and reducing pigmentation for smoother, even toned skin.
WHY WE LOVE IT
This targeted serum contains a high percentage of slow release (encapsulated) retinol alongside other skin beneficial antioxidants and soothing ingredients, helping the skin to better tolerate the retinol itself.
Touted as a superstar for skin and loved by dermatologists throughout the world, Retinol (Vitamin A) is backed by solid science and worth its weight in gold. This power-packed serum works to diminish signs of ageing, helps combat acne and reduces signs of sun damage. Advanced microencapsulation technology that ensures stability coupled with a nano-delivery system ensures effective delivery of 1% pure Retinol (2.5% Microencapsulated Retinol) gradually and deeply into the skin for superior results. The controlled-release formulation and a blend of soothing anti-inflammatory actives ensure this serum is optimised for skin tolerability. With ongoing use, you will see fewer wrinkles, smoother skin, and improved skin tone. This regenerating serum is housed in airless lightproof packaging to keep the antioxidant ingredients safer from oxidation.
