Description
Retinol Ageless Cream harnesses the proven efficacy of retinoids—vitamin A derivatives recognized as the gold standard in anti-aging skincare—to promote visible skin renewal. In a 100 g jar, this medium-strength formulation balances potency and tolerability, delivering sustained release of active retinol for continuous improvement without excessive irritation. Suitable predominantly for normal to combination skin, the cream addresses multiple concerns, including photoaging, discoloration, and acne sequelae.
Key Benefits
-
Boosts Collagen Synthesis: Retinol upregulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkle depth (Clinical Dermatology Journal).
-
Enhances Cell Turnover: By accelerating epidermal turnover, the cream mitigates rough texture and unclogs pores, which helps prevent blackheads and whiteheads (Dermatologic Therapy).
-
Corrects Hyperpigmentation: Regular use fades melasma, dark spots, and age spots through inhibition of tyrosinase activity (Journal of Investigative Dermatology).
-
Smooths Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Clinical studies show visible reduction in fine lines after 12 weeks of retinol application (British Journal of Dermatology).
-
Improves Acne & Scarring: Retinoids normalize keratinization to reduce comedones and support repair of acne scars.
How It Works
Retinol penetrates the stratum corneum and converts into retinoic acid within skin cells, binding to nuclear receptors (RARs) to regulate gene expression. This action:
-
Stimulates Dermal Fibroblasts to increase collagen types I and III.
-
Speeds Epidermal Renewal by promoting desquamation of corneocytes.
-
Modulates Melanin Distribution by accelerating melanocyte turnover and inhibiting overactive pigment synthesis.
The encapsulated formulation delivers retinol gradually, minimizing irritation while maintaining continuous bioavailability.

Squalane & Ceramides: Reinforce the skin barrier to prevent transepidermal water loss.
-
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Soothes inflammation and further inhibits melanin transfer.
-
