retinyl palmitate
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
tocopherol
0.15% -
0.3%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

What does the product description say?
Nourishing hands with a nutrient-rich, anti-aging serum that’s absorbed rapidly by skin, the formula utilizes Retinol (a. k. a. the holy grail of non-invasive wrinkle-prevention) to eradicates the visible appearance of dark spots and lines.
