Ingredients

Retinol accelerates cell turnover and stimulates collagen synthesis for smoother, Peptides signal the skin to produce more collagen through its own natural repair pathways, and Allantoin completes the formula as a neutralizes irritation signals while promoting gentle cell regeneration.

Retinol converts to retinoic acid inside the skin, where it binds to nuclear receptors that regulate gene expression for cell turnover and collagen production. Unlike prescription retinoids that work immediately (and irritate), retinol converts gradually, offering a sustained effect with less downtime. The compounding effect means texture, fine lines, and tone all improve progressively over 8 to 12 weeks.
