L-Retinol Night Serum
1 fl. oz. | 30 mL
Vitamin A + Antioxidant Support for Aging Skin
L-Retinol Night Serum is a pharmacist-formulated nighttime treatment featuring L-Retinol (Vitamin A) together with antioxidant, peptide and skin-supportive ingredients.
Designed to support skin renewal, this focused formula helps improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and uneven pigmentation while supporting smoother, more refined-looking skin.
Why L-Retinol?
Retinol is a well-established topical form of Vitamin A used in SKINcare for aging and photoaged skin. Within the skin, retinol is converted through retinaldehyde to retinoic acid, the biologically active form of Vitamin A.
Topical retinol has been studied for its effects on skin renewal, collagen-related processes, fine lines, texture and pigmentation.
Because retinol requires conversion within the skin, it generally provides a more gradual approach to Vitamin A SKINcare than prescription retinoic acid.
More Than Retinol
Phenyl Butyl Nitrone (PBN) — A spin-trapping antioxidant that provides additional antioxidant support.
Epithelial Growth Factor (peptide) — Included as a peptide component to complement the skin-supportive nighttime formula.
Glycolic Acid — An alpha hydroxy acid that supports exfoliation and helps improve the appearance of skin texture and tone.
Beta Glucan — Helps support hydration, skin conditioning and the skin barrier.
Beta Fructan — Provides additional skin-conditioning and hydration support.
Aminoguanidine — Included for its glycation-related chemistry, an area of interest in aging skin.
Hamamelis (Witch Hazel) Extract — Provides botanical skin-conditioning and astringent support.
A Focused Nighttime Formula
What makes L-Retinol Night Serum distinctive is that it isn’t simply Retinol added to a base. L-Retinol is combined with antioxidant, peptide, exfoliating and skin-supportive ingredients selected to complement a nighttime Vitamin A treatment.
For additional hydration, pair with Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion.
Suggested Use
Apply a small amount to clean skin at night according to tolerance. Introduce gradually if new to retinol or if skin is sensitive. Use sunscreen during daytime hours.
