Data suggests this 0.3% Pure Retinol Night Concentrate is a professional-grade retinoid designed for intermediate maintenance. By combining pure retinol with the Matrixyl 3000+ peptide complex, it offers dual-action support for skin conditioning. The formula is buffered to support the surface during the initial introduction phase.
The serum utilizes a Slow-Release Oil Encapsulation system to deliver retinol while minimizing surface-level sensitivity. Bisabolol and Panthenol act as conditioning agents to soothe the skin during the transition period. Matrixyl 3000+ provides a secondary pathway for firming that does not rely solely on surface turnover.
- Surface Benefits: Peptide synergy supports skin scaffolding; aluminum packaging maintains ingredient stability; fragrance-free to reduce sensitivity.
- Formulation Considerations: 0.3% concentration may cause temporary surface flaking if not introduced gradually.
To mitigate potential surface flaking and moisture loss, it is recommended to "sandwich" this serum between layers of a lipid-restoring cream.
