Intraceuticals Retinol+6 Booster 30ml

Retinol serum with four retinoid forms and two botanical Vitamin A sources

Most retinol products work through one mechanism: they deliver a large amount of retinoic acid to the skin all at once, which leads to dryness, peeling, and redness for many users. The skin becomes overwhelmed instead of renewed — and that is exactly the problem that the Intraceuticals Retinol+6 Booster addresses in a fundamentally different way.

The formula combines four retinoid forms, each converted to active retinoic acid at a different rate: from the mild precursor Retinyl Palmitate through Retinol and Retinal to the directly active Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR). The result is a controlled, layered release that continuously nourishes the skin instead of flooding it. Supplemented with two botanical Vitamin A sources — Buriti Extract and Rock Samphire Extract — the formula offers renewal as well as antioxidant protection and enhanced skin resilience. For anyone willing to invest in a serious, well-tolerated anti-aging approach.

Benefits

• Promotes visible skin renewal through a controlled layered release of four retinoid forms
• Reduces fine lines and visibly improves skin firmness and elasticity
• Refines skin texture, evens out complexion, and reduces the visibility of clogged pores
• Protects the skin against oxidative stress and environmental damage with botanical antioxidants
• Milder than traditional retinol formulas thanks to the multi-phase activation

Active Ingredients

Retinyl Palmitate: The gentlest retinoid in the formula — a stable precursor that requires three conversion steps for activation. It acts first and lays the foundation for even, slow cell renewal with minimal risk of irritation.

Retinol: The clinically proven gold standard of Vitamin A, with two conversion steps to retinoic acid. Retinol stimulates cell renewal, refines texture, helps reduce clogged pores, and supports collagen synthesis for visibly reduced fine lines and firmer skin.

Retinal (Retinaldehyde): A fast-acting, well-tolerated retinoid only one conversion step away from retinoic acid. Retinal improves elasticity and brightness, has a proven antibacterial effect against P. acnes, soothes visible redness, and supports skin hydration.

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR): The most direct retinoid in the formula — HPR binds directly to retinoid receptors without conversion steps. It delivers fast, highly bioavailable renewal activity with an excellent tolerance profile, even for sensitive skin types.

Mauritia Flexuosa (Buriti) Pulp Extract: Sustainably produced, cold-pressed extract from the Buriti palm fruit from the Brazilian Amazon — one of the richest plant sources of carotenoids in the world. It supports retinoid activity, protects the skin from free radicals and environmental damage, and adds a botanical anti-aging layer to the formula.

Crithmum Maritimum (Rock Samphire) Extract: Organically certified coastal plant extract from France with retinol-like properties. It stimulates gentle cell renewal, helps reduce the visibility of fine lines, and improves skin brightness without irritation.

How to use

1. Thoroughly cleanse your face as the first step of your evening routine
2. Gently massage 1 to 2 pumps of Retinol+6 Booster onto face and neck
3. For optimal results: mix the booster with one pump of Intraceuticals Daily Serum in the palm of your hand before applying
4. Follow with Intraceuticals Hydration Gel and Moisture Binding Cream for full hyaluronic layering
5. Start 2 to 3 times per week and gradually increase frequency to daily use as your skin tolerates it
6. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF the next morning — this product increases sensitivity to UV radiation

Suitable for

• Mature skin with fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or uneven complexion
• Skin with impurities, clogged pores, or a dull, tired complexion
• Users who previously reacted sensitively to retinol and seek a well-tolerated alternative
• Skin damaged by sun or premature aging

Not suitable for: use during pregnancy planning, pregnancy, or breastfeeding, when using medicinal acne medication, or during an active professional skin peeling program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "+6" in the product name mean?

The "+6" refers to the six Vitamin A sources in the formula: four retinoid forms (Retinyl Palmitate, Retinol, Retinal, and HPR) plus two botanical Vitamin A equivalents (Buriti Extract and Rock Samphire Extract). Each source works through its own mechanism and timing, enabling the layered, controlled release.

How does this product differ from the Vitamin A Booster?

The Vitamin A Booster contains one retinoid form (Retinyl Palmitate) in a "release on demand" technology — a good entry choice for skin sensitive to Vitamin A. The Retinol+6 Booster combines four retinoid forms with different activation speeds for a broader, deeper, and more targeted anti-aging effect. It is the most advanced Vitamin A formula in the range.

Can I combine the Retinol+6 Booster with the Bakuchiol Booster?

Yes, and this is a recommended combination. Use the Retinol+6 Booster only in the evening, and the Bakuchiol Booster during the day for additional anti-aging protection. Bakuchiol also helps improve retinol tolerance and reduce possible side effects.
