BasicLab Dermocosmetics Serum with Pure Retinol 0.5% Coenzyme Q10 and Squalane Renewal and Stimulation for Problematic Skin at Night 30ml

Thanks to the unique formula, your skin will be taut and its structure and elasticity will visibly improve. Wrinkles will be significantly smoothed, sun and hormonal discolorations as well as acne scars will be minimized. Pores will become noticeably narrower and sebum production will be regulated.

• 0.5% pure retinol stimulates long-term renewal processes, making the skin structure visibly improved and the face oval corrected. The face becomes youthful firmness and elasticity, and wrinkles are gradually smoothed out
• Coenzyme Q10 (INCI: Ubiquinone) as one of the strongest antioxidants effectively protects the skin, providing it with an anti-radical shield. It dissolves perfectly in fats, so it easily penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, increases its elasticity and firmness, and smoothes out fine wrinkles.
• Squalane nourishes and improves the elasticity of the epidermis. It has the ability to penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin and strengthen the intercellular cement, thus protecting the epidermis and reducing its sensitivity to external factors. As a strong antioxidant, it effectively slows down skin aging processes, and its soothing properties significantly minimize the risk of retinol side effects.

How to use:

Shake before use. Apply a few drops of the serum in the evening onto cleansed and dry skin, avoiding the eye and mouth area. After applying the product, we recommend washing your hands thoroughly. The first time, use the serum on your own to assess your skin's reaction. Ultimately, approximately 30-40 minutes after applying retinol, you can apply a moisturizing and regenerating product.

Attention:

• Due to the high content of retinol, the product should not be used by pregnant women. Use during breastfeeding should be consulted with your doctor.
• When using retinoids, apply high sun protection SPF 50+ every day, e.g. a light cream or light emulsion, and avoid sun exposure. The use of retinol is permissible all year round, but before planned increased exposure to the sun, stop using it completely about 4 weeks in advance.
• In the first weeks of use, you may notice redness, dryness or irritation of the skin, as well as its peeling - this is the result of building the skin's tolerance to this active substance. In such a case, you should use complementary products that moisturize, nourish and rebuild the hydrolipid barrier.
• During retinol treatment, the skin requires increased hydration and regeneration.

Always start using retinol with a lower concentration (e.g. 0.3% or 0.5%), both when carrying out the treatment for the first time and when resuming it after a long break.

For the first two weeks, use the serum every fourth evening. If there are no side effects during this period, you can reduce the interval between applications by 1 day after each completed two weeks of treatment as follows:

1-2 weeks – use every 4th evening

Week 3-4 – use every 3rd evening

5-6 weeks – use every 2nd evening

At this stage, you will reach the point where you will be using retinol serum 4 times a week. Only when you tolerate the product well at this frequency of use (not earlier!) can you start using a higher concentration of retinol. To do this, take a 3-day break and repeat the above regimen using a more concentrated serum.

The serum does not contain any fragrance additives, its slightly noticeable note results from the composition.
Store in a dry and shaded place, at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
