THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA
Circular Chevron Icon
science behind Zoom In Icon

As the Experts in Vitamin A, our Research & Development team took everything we know about retinyl retinoate and looked into the potential to pair it with revolutionary retinal.

What followed was two additional years of research and development, on top of a previous eight with the original formulation, r-Retinoate Day & Night. The final result? A one-of-a-kind combination of two exceptionally powerful and stabilised vitamin A molecules, bolstered by a drone-targeted peptide, ceramides and hyaluronic acid to create a revolutionary 5-in-1 night cream.

Experience all-encompassing age-defying results coupled with sumptuous experience.
