-
Improves the growth of skin cells and ensures maintenance and function of skin.
-
Prevents premature aging.
-
Ensures complete stabilization, without oxidation of the retinol molecule.
What is Retinol and How Does it Work?
Retinol serum is necessary for the growth, maintenance and function of the skin. It also prevents premature aging of the skin. Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A. It is enzymatically converted in the human skin to Retinoic Acid. Retinoic acid has direct effect on skin cells, and can adjust their metabolism toward a more youthful state. Retinol works by stimulating the body's production of collagen, (one of the key building blocks of skin). This rebuilding action can make wrinkles look less severe and reduce the appearance of splotchy-ness, age spots, and sun damage. Other popular Vitamin A treatments are RetinA tm which is mainly for Acne, and Renova tm which is for Aging skin.
Most Retinol Creams Do NOT WORK! .. Why?
Most retinol creams and serums are virtually useless? The main reason is that they do not deliver a significant enough amount of retinol into the skin's cells. Secondly, they can not get the retinol deep enough into the skin. We have solved this issue by formulating the retinol in a special delivery system. This system ensures stabilization of the molecule without oxidation, and enhances cutaneous absorption of Vitamin A through the epidermis. Our serum is obtained at 12,000 psi under micro fluidizing conditions.
Our delivery system can get the Vitamin as deep as your PRICKLE layer! This is 4 layers deep!
Who Is It Good For?
This serum is excellent for all skin types. It is especially valuable for weathered skin types showing excessive signs of aging. It will help to smooth and freshen the skin's appearance.
When Should You Use It?
Directions:Apply to clean skin every other night before bed. *You can increase up to each day as long as you are not irritated. You will notice a glossy film immediately after application, however the film will dissipate within minutes as product absorbs, and skin will have a soft, silky feel.
Ingredients

This product is now a staple in my evening regimen. I used to break out very badly in my chin area. No matter what product I tried I would get acne that actually would leave dark marks on my skin. I was always afraid to try new products and afraid to even wear makeup because of my skins sensitivity. I want to say it took 3-4 mos for this product to clear up my skin (I almost gave up) but I am so glad I didn't because now it keeps my skin clear, I can actually wear makeup, plus it keeps my skin looking fresh!

Broke Out Very Bad! - Retracted Review

I previously wrote a review complaining of bad breakouts from using this product. Following Platinum's advice, I cut back my application frequency to a few times a week and can now say I LOVE this product. I rarely use it all over my face, preferring to use it more as a spot/blemish treatment as it works great at clearing up breakouts. I'm a little scared to put it all over my face only because I think I'd be over-exfoliating my face which I believe was what was causing the initial breakouts (I was previously using the glycolic serum in the mornings and retinol at night, which I think was just too much exfoliation). However, using glycolic as an all over face treatment and retinol as a spot/localized treatment has been great.

Broke Out Very Bad!

I purchased this product to deal with some fine lines and the occasional pimples I still get at age 25. I found it extremely drying, which I expected, but I was not at all prepared for the increase in breakouts. I broke out with large, painful and hard pimples in areas I rarely ever get acne. My normally good looking skin now looks awful! I'm going to stop using it and see if this new acne clears up.
***Platinum Comment*****
The Retinol .30% is a very strong serum and it is definitely possible that if you have a buildup of clogged pores (which can be from the "occasional pimples" you spoke of) that you can definitely see an increase of activity when the retinol starts to remove the outermost layers. I would suggest cutting back to maybe 3x per week until your skin clears and you get used to the serum. Please CALL us or EMAIL us if you have a question on how to use the products.

I have used many retinol creams since I was a teenager, which always led to redness and drying. But, at the time it was the best product for me. Until I tried the Retinol 30. I have been using this every night after the AB Cleanser for close to 8 months and I have yet to have any redness or dryness. My skin feels amazing. Love, love, love!

This feels great on your skin when it dries - smooth and not greasy or sticky. It is very good at healing breakout areas quickly also helps to fade the redness of scars. Not as irritating as Retin-A, didn't seem to cause redness or over- peeling on skin, though I did not overuse it. I ordered a sample and will order again.
