What are the key ingredients in Osmosis Skincare Correct Preventative Retinal Serum?
- Retinal (Retinaldehyde 0.075%) - A derivative of Vitamin A that promotes cell turnover and reduces multiple signs of ageing, all without causing unnecessary irritation or sun sensitivity. Clin. See further information below for the difference between Retinal and Retinol.
- Hydroxyproline - An amino acid that helps to stabilise collagen, increase moisture and firmness in the skin.
- MSM - An organic sulfur compound that strengthens the skin’s support structure, promoting the synthesis of proteins and connective tissue for healthier, more robust skin.
- Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3 - To boost collagen production, support the reparative process of the skin and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
What are the key benefits of Osmosis Skincare Correct Preventative Retinal Serum?
- Contains 9 non-irritating collagen stimulators
- Stimulates and feeds collagen and elastin production
- Promotes youthful and radiant skin.
- Can be used specifically around lips and eyes to reduce fine lines and wrinkles in a targeted fashion, or all over for anti ageing and lipid barrier support.
What’s the difference between Retinal and Retinol?
This could get really complicated - but essentially, Retinal is one step closer to the form of Vitamin A our body can actually utilise than Retinol. In this sense, it offers faster results, but is also less inflammatory and needs to be used at a much lower percentage. Comparing retinol percentages with retinal percentages is like comparing apples (retinol) with apple pie (retinal) - it’s completely transformed (and tastes all the sweeter).
Which Retinal product from Osmosis Skincare will suit my skincare needs?
Calm Gentle Retinal Serum is a great product for those who experience sensitivity - whether that be through rosacea, dermatitis or some other skin condition, or who are experiencing a temporary flare up of inflammation in the skin.
Correct Preventative Retinal Serum is the go-to option for many clients, and will suit most skin types to correct ageing and uneven skin tone and texture.
Renew Advanced Retinal Serum is the step up from Correct, and offers a higher percentage of Retinal. It should not be a first step for users of retinol or retinal, as can cause inflammation in those who have not adapted their skin to regular retinal use.
Clarify Blemish Retinal Serum is a great option for those with excessively oily or acneic skin types to balance sebum production. It has a very high concentration of retinal, and can be used as an all over treatment for those with heavily acneic or oily skin types, or as a spot treatment for those with hormonal or irregular breakouts.
What makes the delivery system of Osmosis Skincare so effective?
Osmosis surrounds their active ingredients in a liposome called phosphatidylcholine, which has been shown to increase product penetration by 600%. This means your ingredients go further, and the fact that this liposome is constructed from a choline head and essential fatty acid chain means that the ingredients are protected during delivery, and the quality of the skin barrier is increased - preventing water evaporation from skin.
