Retinoid Sleep Serum

Retinoid Sleep Serum Level 1 (0.2% plus Vitamin C, Pro-Vitamin D3 & E). 

Retinoid Sleep Serum Level 2 (0.5% plus Vitamin C, Pro-Vitamin D3 & E). 

Two gentle yet highly effective, evening Retinoid treatments to help maintain a firm, plump, youthful and healthy-looking complexion. Levels 1 & 2 offer different strengths but both contain OSKIA’s advanced Super-Nutrient Retinoid Complex (Retinoid, Vitamins C & E and Pro-Vitamin D3) with high concentrations of cellular nutrients, plus botanical actives and key anti-oxidants. Non-greasy and deeply penetrating, use these super-charged serums as part of your evening skin routine.

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, a fourth-generation Retinoid, provides unrivalled skin health benefits. Pro-Vitamin D3, a naturally-occurring active essential for the synthesis of Vitamin D, supports skin health. Encapsulated Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, a super-charged form of Vitamin C, penetrates deeply to visibly firm and brighten. Turmeric heightens skin radiance and tone. Defiensil™, rich in Omega 3, soothes and calms. Alaria Esculenta and Rosamox™ firm and hydrate. Encapsulated Co-Enzyme Q10 & Vitamin E provide anti-oxidant and anti-glycation protection. 

We recommend Level 1 to clients that either have sensitive skin or that have never used Retinoids before. Level 2 is recommended for clients who have used Retinoids in the past and haven't shown any skin irritation.

(0.5% retinoid is the maximum level allowed under EU legislation for cosmetic products).

• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a 4th generation of retinoids - it is oil-soluble & quick absorbing. It is the only one, apart from Tretinion or Retinoid Acid, that does not need to go through any metabolic changes before it can be effective. It binds directly onto the retinoid receptors of the skin cells.

What does it do?
It inhibits collagen-destroying enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).
It boosts the skin’s own collagen synthesis (type I & III).
It stimulates natural moisturising factor glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and skin protein filaggrin.
It makes the epidermis thicker and compacts the outermost layer of the skin.
It reduces sebum production so great for spot-prone skin - though it is important to replenish the lipid barrier which is why we use hemi-squalane which is wonderful saturated, plant sourced, fat.
