Bloom hero - vit A booster - Retinal&Bakuchiol

A bomb of active ingredients, where the star of the show is retinal (retinaldehyde or retinaldehyde), a derivative of vitamin A in an extremely effective form, and bakuchiol - a plant "retinol-like" substance that supplements the anti-ageing, rejuvenating, anti-acne and depigmentation properties of retinal. Apart from retinal and bakuchiol, the formula features vitamin C in lipophilic form seasoned with Cockatoo plum extract and a generous portions of coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, provitamin B5, ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) and acerola ferment. Precious prickly pear seed and rosehip oil work at night to raise the level of lipids in the skin, nourishes and helps to reduce irritations. Choose the booster with lower retinal concentration of 0.05% if you are embarking on your journey with vitamin A (also read "Before the first use" instructions). Provided that your skin is used to retinoids or you have finished therapy supervised by a dermatologist, you may consider higher concentration of retinal 0.15%. The remaining active ingredients of the formula are carefully measured out in perfect concentrations with complementing effect. RetinAL is 10 x stronger than retinOL, meaning 0.05% retinal is equivalent to 0.5% retinol and 0.15% retinal concentration is equivalent to 1.5% retinol (before going for the higher concentration formula, prepare the skin by using lower concentrated product). FORMULA: the booster comes in a light emulsion formula that does not weigh upon the skin, and can be used before any cream or independently. COCKTAIL FOR SKIN: all skin types, regardless of age and complexion, especially tired, mature, acne-prone skin that needs radiance, glow-up and energy, fighting discolouration, ageing and loss of firmness. Retinal - vitamin A normalizes and regulates the functions of the skin wonderfully, it determines the proper growth, development and functioning of epidermal cells, hence vitamin A (retinoic acid) is often referred to as a normalizing factor. Retinal becomes active vitamin A (which the skin uses) after one conversion, while retinol needs two conversions to become vitamin A. Fewer transformations make retinal extremely effective, and yet far less irritating than classic retinol. According to research, it is about 10-11 times more powerful than classic retinol. After transformation under the influence of enzymes into retinoic acid (vitamin A), retinal accelerates creation of new skin cells, improves skin quality, density, firmness, nourishment, improves its elasticity, reduces the number of particles harmful to collagen, and reduces the visibility of discolourations. It is extremely effective in preventing imperfections, has a strong antibacterial effect, making it perfect for acne-prone skin. Bakuchiol – indispensable in the formula, a plant substance similar to retinoids that affects some of the receptors affected by vitamin A. With its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-acne and anti discoloration properties, bakuchiol stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. It reduces wrinkle depth significantly, as confirmed by numerous studies. In addition, it reduces the size of melanocytes, and thus reduces melanin production and discolourations as well as improves skin tone. Gentle on the skin, does not cause any irritation. Vitamin C – added in its most stable and efficient form of ethylated ascorbic acid and lipophilic (fatty) vitamin C spiked with Cockatoo plum superfood extract, which helps vitamin C reach deeper into the skin. Vitamin C is famous for helping the skin glow up, combating hyperpigmentation, brightening up the skin, fighting ageing and wrinkles, stimulating collagen and protecting and strengthening blood vessels. Coenzyme Q10 – specializes in protecting skin cells from UVA (protects collagen break-up), heals damage caused by free radicals, delays the ageing of fibroblasts (wrinkles appear due to reduced number and efficiency of fibroblasts), Vitamin E – added as a mix of all tocopherols: d-alpha, d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta. Vitamin E boosts vitamin C activity, has potent anti-oxidant properties, prevents ageing, protects from UV light, makes healing easier, smooths the skin and scars, D-panthenol – a.k.a. provitamin B5, it moisturises perfectly, retains water in the deep layers of the skin. We added it because it will soothe dry, irritated, reddened skin effectively and play a significant role in case of skin irritation. It has also got recuperative properties, accelerates regeneration processes and stimulates cells to renew, Lacobacillus/Acerola Cherry Ferment – acerola bioferment. The fruit, called Barbados cherry, has high vitamin C concentration. An anti-oxidant, it nourishes, brightens up, smooths and improves complexion. Thanks to anthocyanins, the ingredient is an anti-inflammatory agent, reducing skin redness, strengthening blood vessels, improves blood micro-circulation, thus it's recommended to people with rosacea and couperose skin and signs of photo-ageing: wrinkles, hyperkeratosis in the epidermis and melasma. Produced by fermentation (with lactic acid), which helps increase the absorption and efficiency of the extract and reduces skin irritation, Hyaluronic acid – added in the ultra-small particle form, the smallest mass available, to permeate deeper parts of the epidermis, where it binds moisture, leaving the skin hydrated and juicy, Cockatoo plum – a superfood fruit with the highest vitamin C content known in botanic, (5300mg/100g), which is 100 times less than an orange. A rich source of polyphenols and vitamin C that lightens up, glows up and smooths the skin. Our extract also leads to creation of additional transporters in the cells of the epidermis, responsible for vitamins permeating deeper into the cell, Propanediol - boosts the penetration of active ingredients into the skin, so that the skin can use of all ingredients well, it also maintains moisture, moisturises and softens, VEGETABLE OILS: rosehip and fig opuntia seed oil contain plenty of anti-inflammatory polyunsaturated fatty acids, replenish the natural structure of the epidermis, helping retain water better, protect against external factors and support the skin undergoing retinal therapy, ROSE WATER: from Damask rose petals, FRAGRANCE: essential oil of tangerine, a sweet citrus fruit with a vibrant, energizing scent, RITUAL: use the booster in the evening on cleansed, dry skin before applying the cream / serum.
