Essential Shock Intense Retinol Night Renewal Serum

What it is: A night serum that delivers all the power of retinol and bakuchiol, a natural retinol-like active, so you can rejuvenate your skin every day.

Who it's for: Young skin with signs of premature aging; mature skin in need of a firmness boost; skin with hormonal imbalances; enhancing the results of your dark-spot treatment; correcting the appearance of post-acne scars, marks and imperfections or as a perfecting age-defying treatment.

What it does: This formula is intentionally designed to strike the ideal balance between effectiveness and gentleness. Night after night, the nourishing treatment works to benefit your skin both internally and externally as it promotes a natural renewal process for a more even and firmer complexion. Each morning, wake up to suppler, more radiant skin with fewer signs of sagging and wrinkles.

Key ingredients:

- 0.1% retinol: a potent anti-aging agent that stimulates skin renewal to correct signs of aging and promotes the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid

- 0.5% bakuchiol: with retinol-like action, it enhances visible anti-aging benefits without adding sensitivity

- Glycolic acid: allows for efficient regular exfoliation to improve texture, even skin tone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles

- Aminoessence cocktail: a blend of collagen and elastin amino acids that work together to improve skin firmness and suppleness

- Matrixyl: a combination of peptides that increases elasticity and provides a visible lifting effect. Its use is designed to minimize the appearance of crow's feet and forehead lines

How to use: Apply to clean, toned skin on your face, neck and décolleté. Gently massage until fully absorbed. Follow with your regular moisturizer or treatment. In the morning, always complete your routine with a product containing SPF 30 or higher.

Pro tips: If you're new to retinol or have sensitive skin, use every three nights the first week and then increase usage to every other night. Combine with hydrating skin care. Don't forget to apply sunscreen and ultrahydrating products the next morning, as your skin may be sensitive after use. It’s best to avoid using it within 72 hours of waxing or exfoliation.
