Description

Upgrade your beauty sleep with encapsulated pure retinol, blended with a mix of powerhouse ingredients to encourage cell renewal, and target the signs of ageing. With a hydration complex of hyaluronic acid and bisabol, use overnight to wake up to a younger-looking, refreshed looking complexion.

Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 4 weeks*

Our encapsulated retinol formula contains a form of retinol that has been balanced and blended with other ingredients to ensure optimum anti-ageing results overnight, every night. This formula also helps to lighten hyperpigmentation, especially those caused by sun exposure and past breakouts.

As well as minimizing the appearance of fine lines overnight, our encapsulated retinol will bolster the skin’s thickness, slowing collagen degradation meaning skin appears firmer and more elastic. 

Why use encapsulated retinol?

Retinol sometimes gets a bad rap for irritating the skin. Our new 10% time-release encapsulated retinol complex, with 0.3% of pure retinol has been blended with a mix of powerhouse ingredients to encourage cell renewal and target signs of ageing. The slow-release formula, with added hydration ingredients including hyaluronic acid and bisabol, allows your skin barrier to enjoy the benefits of retinol with a lesser chance of irritation, meaning you can wake up to a refreshed, younger-looking complexion.

Hydration complex: Hyaluronic Acid and Bisabol are added for their hydration properties, to plump the skin and instantly replenish moisture.

How to use
WHEN
Step 2 in your skincare routine – treat

Use once or twice a week in the PM only

Concentrates are lightweight and usually contain a high concentration of active products. They are best applied straight onto cleansed skin and can be followed with a serum or used alone. For best results, use 2-3 evenings per week, increasing usage as skin’s tolerance builds.

HOW
Gently massage 2-3 drops onto a cleansed face and neck, paying particular attention to areas with expression lines, such as around the mouth.

ROUTINE
For best results, use as part of a full Retinol Fix routine. If you are new to retinol we recommend starting with 1x per week and building up to 2-3x.

Step 1: Cleanse using your cleanser of choice, we recommend the Hyaluronic Fix Cleansing Cream
Step 2: Follow with the Retinol Fix Eye Treatment
Step 3: Apply 2-3 drops of the Retinol Fix Concentrate Extreme 10%
Step 4: Finish with the Retinol Fix Overnight Cream 3%

TIPS
Using vitamin C and retinol together is a powerful way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, but we don’t recommend using them together at the same time, so stick to one in the morning and the other at night; use the Vitamin C Fix Concentrate Extreme 15% in your AM routine and the Retinol Fix Booster 10% in the PM.

Use SPF the morning after – we recommend our Anti-Redness SPF 30 as the final step in your routine. This SPF was specifically designed to protect the skin the morning after using Retinol Fix.

The science

Retinol is the purest form of Vitamin A -  20% more potent than Retinyl Palmatate. It is classed as a first-generation retinoid which, in short, means it is a more effective option as it requires just 2 steps to convert to Retinoic Acid. It can penetrate the stratum corneum (very top layer of skin) more effectively due to its lipophilic (oil-loving) nature.

Encapsulated retinol is renowned for its slow release, meaning it can penetrate deeper into the skin with minimal disruption and irritation, it is also more stable which extends its shelf life. In the Retinol Fix Concentrate our retinol is micro-encapsulated in cyclodextrins, which protect it and allow for the slow release into the skin.

Why you need it

Our new and improved Retinol Fix Concentrate tackles ageing from numerous angles. Whether you want to focus on improving fine lines and wrinkles, fading those sunspots, keeping acne at bay or slowing down the degradation of collagen in your skin over time. All while keeping your skin hydrated and plump with the addition of hyaluronic acid and bisabol.
