Key Ingredients & What They Do
- Retinol: The gold standard of anti-ageing — a vitamin a derivative clinically proven to accelerate cell turnover, smooth fine lines, refine pores, and improve skin texture.
- Collagen: A structural protein that supports skin firmness and elasticity; topically applied collagen hydrates and plumps the skin surface for a visibly bouncy complexion.
