Key Ingredients

Retinol 0.1%
Retinol increases epidermal thickness and collagen production, which helps improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles, giving your skin a fresher, plump appearance.

Ceramide NP 
It creates skin protective barrier to prevent moisture loss from skin and strengthen the barrier to maintain hydration.

Guaiazulene
The blue essential oil extracted from the chamomile flower contains a compound called azulene. It has a powerful soothing and protective effect when applied to skin that has been irritated by the external environment.

Precautions

1. For initial use of retinol, we recommend using it in your night skincare routine, and for daytime use, be sure to follow up with a sunscreen of at least SPF 30.
2. Avoid using it with exfoliators at the beginning of use, and apply retinol cream no more than 2-3 times a week to give your skin time to adapt.
3. After the skin has adapted, the number of uses can be gradually increased, and it is ok to use it with BHA or AHA exfoliators.
4. Pregnant women, lactating women, and people with skin diseases such as rashes should not use retinol products.
