What is Retinol?
Retinol is derived from vitamin A, this multitasking skin care ingredient is a form of retinoid.
Proliferation means growth. Retinol increase cellular turnover in the skin, meaning they grow faster, which is going to make the skin a little bit thicker. The thicker skin is stronger and smoother and has fewer overall imperfections. They also make the dead cells shed, which is a lot like exfoliating, but this is really a secondary effect. This cellular turnover makes the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin) more compact, which gives a nice anti-aging benefit.
Retinol itself is not necessarily functional within the skin, because it has to be converted to retinoic acid. This is actually a two-step process that occurs in the cell. It first gets converted to retinaldehyde and then it's converted to retinoic acid. Even though it requires two conversions, it's still very effective, which is why it's found in so many skin care formulations.
The Benefits of Retinol
Age Defense: Retinol is one of the most well studied anti-ageing ingredients currently on the market. Retinol binds to the retinoid receptors on the skin,
enhancing cell turnover and stimulating the production of elastin and collagen.
Hydrating: Retinol thickens the deeper skin layers and enhances the skin's ability to retain water. This improves fine lines and wrinkles and reflects youthful, glowing skin.
Acne: Another benefit to increased cell turnover is fewer breakouts. As cells are regenerated, pores are unclogged and acne can clear. It also helps normalize the functions of oil glands and their follicles which also results in clearer skin.
Tone and Texture: Retinol thins out the topmost cornified epithelial layer of the skin improving the tone and texture of the skin.
Hyperpigmentation: Retinol helps to lighten hyperpigmentation in targeted areas or all over the skin.
Why Choose Sknlogic Retinol Booster?
Our encapsulated Retinol 0.5 Booster contains a high percentage of Retinol at 0.5% (1% is the highest that is allowed to be sold over the counter in most countries including South Africa). It is a light weight formulation that is formulated with maximum
effectiveness and stability in mind. At 0.5% you get the great benefits of Retinol but it is more tolerant to the skin than higher concentrations would be.
Professional Retinol 1 Booster with 1% Retinol
The Sknlogic Professional Rejuvenating & Lifting Essential treatment is performed using 1% Retinol Booster. This exposes your skin to a higher percentage of Retinol in a controlled environment. The 1% Retinol booster can also be utilized during a Micro needling treatment.
With added Soyaglycone
We also include Soyaglycone in our Retinol boosters. This is an encapsulated genistein, the biologically active form of the most abundant soy isoflavone. Genistein is a powerful collagen booster: it strongly stimulates the production of collagen but also prevents its degradation by matrix metalloproteinases.
•Delivers a visible lift.
•Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
