BasicLab Correcting Serum with Retinal 0.15% Growth Factor Complex 2% Phytosphingosine and Carnosine 2.0 Reduction and Stimulation for Problematic Skin Night 30ml

Corrective serum intended for evening care of the skin, neck and cleavage, has effective anti-wrinkle and anti-acne properties. The cosmetic thickens the skin, visibly rejuvenating it. The vitamin A derivative used in it has antibacterial properties that help reduce imperfections.

Phytosphingosine, a natural ingredient derived from ceramides, reduces redness and prevents inflammation, mitigating the potential side effects of the serum. Carnosine 2.0 firms the skin and makes it more elastic, while reducing broadly understood discomfort.

The addition of 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid brightens the complexion, giving it a healthy color, and the plant growth factor participates in the synthesis of collagen, effectively delaying the aging process of the epidermis.

Stable retinal is the last compound in the conversion to retinoic acid (which cannot be used in cosmetic products). It has antibacterial properties, so it will be helpful in the care of acne-prone skin, and due to its low irritation potential, it can be safely used in the care of skin affected by rosacea. The ingredient effectively fights discoloration, has anti-aging properties, reduces wrinkles and improves skin elasticity and firmness.

• Vitamin C in the form of 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid soothes micro-inflammatory changes and reduces redness, thus minimizing the side effects of the treatment, while brightening the complexion and positively affecting its overall appearance.
• 2% natural growth factor complex (INCI: Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 sh-Polypeptide-76) works synergistically with vitamin A derivatives due to their participation in the same metabolic pathway leading to collagen synthesis. It enhances the effects of retinal, so we can expect even greater skin stimulation.
• Vitamin E (INCI: Tocopherol) with coenzyme Q10 (INCI: Ubiquinone), a duo of strong antioxidants, fight free radicals, soothe the skin and slow down the aging process.
• Ceramides NP and AP, as the so-called intercellular cement, support skin renewal, accelerating its regeneration processes.
• Carnosine 2.0 is resistant to degradation, therefore it is much more effective than L-carnosine. The ingredient restores the skin's proper tension, prevents the effects of photoaging, lightens brown discolorations (PIH - Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation), but also generally improves the skin tone.
• Free sphingoid amine, phytosphingosine, found in the skin, a component of ceramides, a natural anti-inflammatory factor, improves the appearance of acne-affected skin, reduces redness and irritation.
• Phospholipids, which are carriers of retinal, stabilize it and reduce the risk of irritation.

How to use:

Apply a small amount of serum in the evening to cleansed and dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip area. After applying the product, we recommend washing your hands thoroughly. The first time, use the serum on your own to assess your skin's reaction. Ultimately, approximately 30-40 minutes after applying retinal, you can apply a ceramide cream with a rich consistency.

Warnings:

• Start the treatment with a lower concentration - 0.07% retinal.
• Due to the high content of retinol, the product should not be used by pregnant women. Use during breastfeeding should be consulted with your doctor.
• When using retinoids, apply very high sun protection every day and avoid sun exposure. The use of retinal is permissible all year round, but before planned increased exposure to the sun, stop using it completely about 4 weeks in advance.
• In the first weeks of use, you may notice redness, dryness or irritation of the skin, as well as its peeling - this is the result of building the skin's tolerance to this active substance. In such a case, you should use complementary products that moisturize, nourish and rebuild the hydrolipid barrier.
• During retinal treatment, the skin requires increased hydration and regeneration.
