Formula architect

This formula was designed to deliver visible skin renewal and firming through a controlled, stabilised active system.

At its core is a retinol phase using Retinol H10 at 1%, introduced in a stabilised form to support cell turnover and collagen activity while improving tolerability.

This is paired with 10% vitamin C in an oil-soluble form (ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate), allowing for better stability and deeper skin compatibility compared to traditional water-based vitamin C.

A complementary 1% bakuchiol phase is added to support collagen production and enhance skin renewal, while helping reduce the irritation typically associated with retinol.

To maintain skin comfort, the actives are delivered within a buffered and balanced system, supported by a base of glycerin, emollients, and probiotic ferments that help keep the skin environment calm and stable.

Benefits

Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the serum compare to traditional retinol products?

Our serum contains Hydrogenated Retinol and Bakuchiol CO2 extract, which function similarly to traditional retinol but with added benefits. These ingredients help increase the natural production of hyaluronic acid, plump out wrinkles, and improve skin texture without the common side effects associated with traditional retinol, such as dryness and irritation.

Can the serum be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

We recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before using any skincare products, including our Vitamin A+C Serum, during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. While the ingredients in our serum are generally considered safe for topical use, it's always best to err on the side of caution and seek personalized advice from a medical expert.

How should I store the serum to maintain its potency?

To preserve the potency and efficacy of the serum, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposing the product to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this may affect its stability and performance over time.

How long does it take to see results?

Results may vary depending on individual skin concerns and conditions. However, with regular use, many users notice improvements in their skin's texture, tone, and overall appearance within a few weeks of incorporating the serum into their skincare routine.
