retinyl palmitate
0.1% -
0.2%
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
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Utilising all natural ingredients, including Tea Tree, Lavender and Grapefruit Oils, the fine clay treatment gently exfoliates to banish dulling dead skin and toxins, and reduces the appearance of pores for a more refined skin texture.
