What's the difference between this retinoid and conventional retinol?

Retinoids, derivatives of vitamin A, are known for their effectiveness on wrinkles and skin firmness. Retinol requires two conversions to become active, often causing irritation in sensitive skin. The retinoid in this serum binds directly to retinoic acid receptors without conversion, offering targeted action and reducing sensitization risk, making it a milder yet effective alternative.

Is this retinoid as powerful as conventional retinol?

This mild retinoid acts more directly than traditional retinol by binding to skin receptors without needing prior conversion, maintaining its full efficacy unlike retinol, which requires two conversions.

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?

While not specifically formulated for sensitive skin, this serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive ones.

Is it possible to use the retinoid eye serum on the eye contour area at the same time as my retinol serum on the rest of the face?

Yes, the two serums work together to target fine lines and wrinkles. However, the Retinol Face Serum should not be applied to the eye contour area, as the Retinoid Eye Serum is specifically developed for that purpose.

Can I use the serum every day?

Yes, the serum is formulated for daily evening use. If discomfort occurs, applications can be spaced out.

Can retinoids make the skin feel as dry as retinol? Is it advisable to add moisturizing to our routine?

Mild retinoids reduce the risk of irritation typically associated with retinol. A moisturizing eye cream can be applied if dryness occurs. If discomfort is experienced, applications can be spaced out.

Is the presence of hyaluronic acid moisturizing enough to replace my usual moisturizer?

The serum provides moisture to the eye contour area and targets fine lines and wrinkles, but it does not replace a conventional moisturizer.

Can the serum reduce deep wrinkles?

Yes, the serum visibly smooths wrinkles around the eyes within 4 weeks.

Eye Serum for Fine Lines and Wrinkles - 0.1% Retinoids + Hyaluronic Acid

DIRECTIONS

WRINKLES & FINE LINES

The eye contour is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Retinoids are gold-standard actives for addressing this concern; however, some may be poorly tolerated by this particularly sensitive area.

Unlike other retinoids, this gentle retinoid does not require conversion before taking effect : it binds directly to its receptors in the skin, allowing for a more targeted action with better tolerance.

Main active ingredients
Gentle Retinoids 0.1%:
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a gentle retinoid that offers an effective and well-tolerated alternative to traditional retinoids. Unlike retinol, it acts directly on RAR receptors without requiring enzymatic conversion — a unique feature that enhances its efficacy. Ten times more stable than retinol, it retains its activity longer while minimizing the risk of irritation. Combined with a penetration booster, it reaches the deeper layers of the epidermis, where it activates RAR receptors to stimulate cell renewal. Skin regenerates more quickly, and wrinkles around the eyes are visibly smoothed.
Hyaluronic Acid:
Capable of attracting and retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid delivers long-lasting hydration to the skin. The low molecular weight version used in this formula allows it to penetrate deeper into the epidermis to smooth dehydration fine lines and plump the skin. Its moisturizing action also improves the suppleness and elasticity of the eye contour.
Niacinamide:
Known for its soothing and protective properties, niacinamide works in synergy with retinoids to improve skin tolerance. It also strengthens the skin’s hydrolipidic barrier, helping to prevent moisture loss and maintain optimal hydration levels.
