Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule
A retinol serum paired with cica (centella) to work on fine lines and uneven texture while keeping irritation in check. The low retinol strength makes it approachable for people newer to retinoids or with skin that is easily upset, and it is meant for evening use. Good for anyone wanting gradual anti-aging without a harsh formula.
More detail
It uses a gentle dose of retinol (500 IU/g) to smooth wrinkles and refine texture, cushioned by a cica complex of asiaticoside and madecassic and asiatic acids, plus niacinamide, ceramide NP, and phytosphingosine to soothe and reinforce the barrier; hyaluronic acid adds hydration and a small amount of salicylic acid helps with clarity. The texture is a lightweight ampoule that layers easily. Apply at night after cleansing and any water-based steps, starting a couple of times a week and building up as your skin adjusts, and always wear sunscreen the next day since retinol increases sun sensitivity. Retinol is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and introducing it slowly helps avoid dryness or flaking.
