This luxurious anti-aging cream delivers powerful results with its advanced formula.

The star ingredient is Retinal (Retinaldehyde), a highly effective form of Vitamin A that works more directly and faster than traditional retinol to stimulate cell turnover and collagen production. The retinal is encapsulated in liposomes, which are microscopic, protective spheres that deliver the active ingredient deeper into the skin with less irritation and better stability. This advanced formula is also enriched with Fermented Rice Extract, which is packed with nutrients and antioxidants that help to brighten skin tone, improve texture, and deeply hydrate.

This cream targets visible signs of aging, helping to firm the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles, and restore a youthful glow.

Ideal for: Anti-Aging, Wrinkle Reduction, Firming, Elasticity Improvement, Skin Rejuvenation, Hydration, Antioxidant Protection.

  1. Use only during your nighttime skincare routine.
  2. As the final step, after cleansing and applying serums, scoop an appropriate amount of cream.
  3. Gently apply the cream to your face and neck, avoiding the eye and mouth area.
  4. Start slowly: For the first two weeks, use the cream only 2-3 times a week to allow your skin to build tolerance. Gradually increase frequency as your skin adapts.
  5. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) in the morning, regardless of the weather, as retinal increases sun sensitivity.

Important Precautions:

  • Avoid using with other strong exfoliants or Vitamin C serums in the same routine to prevent irritation.
  • Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • A slight tingling sensation may be experienced upon initial use; this is normal. Discontinue use if extreme redness or irritation occurs.
