retinyl palmitate
0.05% -
0.1%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
It improves collagen, elastin & hyaluronic acid synthesis, offering a well-hydrated, more elastic, younger-looking skin, thanks to the patented propolis extract, plant glycogen and natural glycoin .
