BasicLab Dermocosmetics Emulsion Serum with 0.3% Pure Retinol 3% Vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10 Renewal and Stimulation for Problematic Skin at Night 15ml

Thanks to unique ingredients, sun and hormonal discolorations as well as acne scars are minimized. By stimulating the skin to regenerate, it visibly improves its structure and firmness, smoothes it and reduces the visibility of pores and wrinkles.

The optimal combination of soothing and moisturizing ingredients reduces the effects of building skin tolerance to retinol: it accelerates its regeneration, strengthens the hydrolipid barrier, effectively protects it against water loss and reduces redness and peeling.

• Pure retinol with high stability stimulates long-term renewal processes, reducing wrinkles and correcting the face oval. Accelerates the process of epidermis replacement and exfoliation, thus evening out the structure and tone of the skin, reducing imperfections and reducing the visibility of sebaceous gland openings ("pores").
• Vitamin C in the stable form of ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate firms and elasticizes the skin, prevents sebum oxidation and has a brightening effect by inhibiting melanin synthesis. Together with retinol, it effectively reduces discoloration, scars and acne lesions
• Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E, as strong antioxidants, effectively neutralize free radicals, slowing down the skin aging process.
• Hydroxystearic acid eliminates the harmful effects of UV radiation, contributing to the reduction of discolorations and the so-called lentigines. It enhances the effect of retinol, accelerating the reduction of discolorations and helping to stimulate collagen synthesis
• Ceramides, which are part of the intercellular cement, strengthen the natural protective barrier of the skin, accelerating its regeneration and effectively protecting it against excessive water loss. Together with cholesterol and pentavitin, they perfectly improve the appearance of dry skin, reduce peeling and itching, have a soothing effect and provide it with long-lasting protection.
• The synergy of low- and ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid increases skin elasticity, eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. Together with trehalose, thanks to their hygroscopic properties, they effectively bind water in the structures of the epidermis
• Fleischer's willowherb extract comprehensively improves the appearance of skin prone to oily or acne, reducing sebum secretion, reducing the visibility of pores and calming the skin.
• Baikal skullcap extract has strong soothing properties, which effectively delays the skin aging process. It becomes less sensitive, better hydrated and firmer

How to use:

Apply a small amount of serum in the evening to cleansed and dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip 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.
• Shelf life of the product after opening: 6 months
