Key ingredient

• Oleyl Adapalenate
  Oleyl Adapalenate a novel active that is the precursor to adapalene which is proven to increase collagen, reduce photageing, balance skin tone, soothe inflammation, reduce pores and clear acne-prone skin.
• Retinaldehyde
  Retinaldehyde a highly tolerable form of Vitamin A to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles and treat breakouts.
• Retinol
  Retinol improves skin appearance by increasing collagen production, exfoliating the skin and unclogging pores.
• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate
  Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate a retinoic acid ester which binds directly to retinoid receptors in the skin. Manages breakouts, increases collagen production and reduces dark marks.
• 4-Butylresorcinol
  4-Butylresorcinol a potent tyrosinase inhibitor clinically proven to be more effective than hydroquinone. Reduces the appearance of age spots and dark spots due to sun induced or hormonal pigmentation. Hexylresorcinol has significant tyrosinase inhibiting abilities with comparable efficacy to 2% Hydroquinone without the skin damaging side effects. Clinical data shows an 88% skin lightening improvement.
