0,5% Granactive Retinoid Serum

Face serum containing 0.5% granactive retinoid.

Description

Face serum containing 0.5% granactive retinoid combined with rice bran oil, vitamin E, Indian myrrh, olive oil, squalane, sunflower seed oil, vitamin B and rhubarb extract.

Granactive retinoid is a newer variant of vitamin A and the brand name for the ingredient with the chemical name hydroxypinacolone retinoate. Granactive retinoid is a cell-communicating agent that works by binding directly to the retinoid receptors in the skin cells. The ingredient does not need convertion before the effect can occur, as is the case with other vitamin A variants. Granactive retinoid contributes to making the skin cells behave normally – this is beneficial for the skin on several parameters: Retinoids often work with a risk of skin irritation, but granactive retinoid is known to be more mild and well tolerated.

Properties:

  1. Supports collagen production and inhibits the breakdown of the existing collagen proteins, thereby slowing down the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
  2. Contributes to normalizing sebum production, which is beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin.
  3. Contributes to normalizing keratinization (keratinization/the formation of calluses).
  4. Contributes to reducing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines.
  5. Promotes the formation of new skin cells.

How To Use

Apply a few drops to freshly cleansed skin, or after cleansing and applying face mist. The serum can be used morning or evening, but always combined with SPF when applied in the morning. If you are new to using vitamin A i your skincare routine, we recommend using the serum 2-3 times a week in the beginning to slowly build up a tolerance. After a period of time start applying the serum every other day, and finally once a day. Please notice that some people can experience a delayed reaction with sensitization of the skin (redness, tenderness, peeling, dryness). Therefore the tolerance should be build up slowly, even if no negative reactions are experienced after a couple of applications. Discontinue use of the serum if a negative response in the skin occurs. To minimize the risk of skin sensitization the serum can also be diluted by mixing it with a hydrating face cream.
