Strengthening and fortifying the dermis, “the foundation of our skin” with increased collagen and elastin production, leaving the skin, smooth, firm and healthy. Retinol Peptide Youth Serum is infused with Grape Stem Cells to aid in improving your skins cell regeneration abilities while boosting firmness. Skin will effectively be left reinvigorated after one use - looking brighter, refreshed and youthful.
Benefits:

• Significantly diminishes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin
• Peptides increase hydration, collagen levels and repairs damaged skin
• Photo-protective, antioxidant-rich and anti-inflammatory

Performance Ingredients 

• Vitamin A (Retinol):This is the most studied, clinically proven anti-aging component. A powerful exfoliator that when used on the skin reduces the appearance of photo damage. It refines skin texture, amplifying the production of new collagen and itclears debris from the pores allowing subsequenttreatments, creams and serums to deliver superior results. Vitamin A helps to refine lines and wrinkles bystimulating and thickening the dermiswhere collagen, elastin and blood vessels are. It increases bloodflow to the surface of the skin reducingwrinkles by. Vitamin A actually increases the accumulation ofcollagen; slowing the intrinsic breakdownof your collagen and elastin
• Grape (Vitis Vinifera Fruit Cell Extract):Stem cells of the Gamay Teinturier Fréaux grape. Grape Stem Cells protect skin stem cells against the harmful effects of UV stress, responsible for the majority of skin aging. They were shown to specifically protect the skin against photo aging by counteracting the harmful effects of UV radiation on the skin. Grape Stem Cells are also packed with anti-inflammatories, antioxidants and very rich in anthocyanin, which is beneficial because it acts like an antioxidant while assisting in the repair of damaged cells and promoting the growth of new and healthy cells.
• Matrixyl® Synthe 6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38): Matrixyl Synthe 6 stimulates the dermal-epidermal junction and the six major constituents of the skin matrix: Collagen I, III & IV, Fibronectin, Hyaluronic acid and Laminin-5. This combination creates a smoother and plumper appearance while rebuilding the skin where needed particularly in areas of deeper wrinkles, i.e. forehead, nasal labial folds, etc.
• Directions:For night time use only. After cleansing, apply serum avoiding eye area. Wash hands after application and apply moisturizer. Discontinue if skin experiences redness or peeling.

 *Tip: As tolerated by skin, allow for acclimation by using serum on non-consecutive days as followed: Week 1 use 1 day, Week 2 use 2 days, Week 3 use 3 days, Week 4 and onward use for 4 days.

A breakthrough correcting treatment designed to minimize pigmentation while encouraging an even skin tone and texture. Through the use of brightening Kojic Acid and White Shiitake Mushroom along with the transforming nature of retinol, this serum will refine and rejuvenate skin while reducing dark spots and discoloration due to acne, sun damage and post inflammatory inflammation.
Benefits:

• Provides intense exfoliation, cell turnover and retexturizing

• Allosteris (Soybean extract) is used to buffer any irritation associated with Retinol use

• Encourages and stimulates a healthy cell renewal process to boost chemical exfoliation results

• Bakuchiol:Bakuchiol (Psoralea corylifolia) is derived from bakuchi seed and is comparable to resveratrol. Practioners in Asia have used the plants for centuries for traditional medicine purposes. Bakuchiol has a Retinol-like function without the irritating side effects – i.e. redness, irritation, peeling, etc. It also has broad spectrum anti-aging and protection benefits for the skin along with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.Clinical studies have shown that with consistent use, skin has shown improvement in lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and elasticity and reduction in photo damage.

• Madonna Lily (Lilium Candidum Leaf Cell Extract):Madonna Lily Stem Cell has the ability to brighten, even skin tone and promote epidermal regeneration. It has been shown to inhibit melanogenesis, the production of melanin that causes tanning, age spots andfreckles and can actually assist in blocking the transfer of melanin from the melanocyte, where melanin iscreated, to the Keratinocyte cell. Madonna Lily stem cells also support the overall health and protectionof the skin by absorbing UV rays very similarly to the way that a chemical sunscreen does.
