What initially gave visible results eventually feels like maintenance.

With double the concentration compared to the 0.3% and the same smart microencapsulation, this serum delivers deeper correction without the skin needing a long downtime.

Retinol stabilizes cell division and accelerates cell renewal, retinal is one conversion step closer to the active form and works faster, retinyl retinoate is a newer generation ester with slower conversion for less irritation, and retinyl linoleate combines retinoid action with skin-softening properties.

Tranexamic acid blocks melanin transfer to skin cells, olive leaf extract has antioxidant and anti-pigment properties, and niacinamide reduces the visibility of existing discolorations.
