Retinol is the most powerful cosmetic fighter against skin aging.

Reduces fine and deep wrinkles, minimizes pore size, and eliminates pigmentation.

It is nicknamed the "elixir of youth" and is the most proven cosmetic ingredient of all, with its effect supported by many scientific studies.

What concentration of Retinol to choose?

0.1% - you have no experience with retinol, you are using it for the first time, or you have sensitive skin
0.5% - you have some experience with retinol, or you have more resilient skin
1% - you use retinol regularly, your skin is accustomed to it and tolerates it without irritation

Retinol (vitamin A) is also nicknamed the "elixir of youth" due to its anti-aging properties.

It has strong exfoliating effects, smooths skin texture, reduces fine and deeper wrinkles, and as a result, the skin looks fresh, more youthful, and healthier.
In this serum, you will find it in the form of liposomes. Encapsulation into liposomes reduces its irritating effects, improves distribution and bioavailability in the skin, extends its shelf life, and enhances stability.

The carrier for retinol in the serum from Kvitok is olive squalane.

It helps to restore the skin's protective film, protects it from moisture loss, is easily absorbed, and is very stable against oxidation. It stimulates the renewal of skin cells and is hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for people with sensitive skin and a tendency to allergies. Olive squalane, unlike olive oil, is non-comedogenic and does not cause pore clogging. Therefore, it is a great carrier ingredient for retinol and is also suitable for sensitive and problematic skin.

Use: On cleansed, toned, and dry skin (!) Apply 2-3 drops of serum to the skin and massage into the skin. Use on the face, neck, décolleté, or lips. After absorption, always apply a facial cream according to your skin type. Use in the evening. Start using 1-2 times a week, after 2-3 weeks you can gradually increase the frequency and concentration.
Mild irritation, a feeling of drier skin, or peeling of "old" skin is a normal occurrence, but if it persists for a long time, reduce the concentration/frequency of use or stop using the serum altogether.

Important Notice

We recommend using SPF protection during the day while using this serum (and in general).

Not suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Retinol can increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight – limit sun exposure immediately after application and use appropriate protection. Do not combine with other exfoliating products and products containing retinol or other forms of vitamin A. If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately.

Never start with the highest concentration. Otherwise, you are asking for an ugly reaction. The skin needs to get used to retinol first, and that can easily take up to 3 months.

If you use retinol only sporadically, you will unnecessarily irritate your skin and never reach the stage where retinol starts to bring the desired results.

Why will you love it? ❤️

Retinol can not only remove dead skin cells but also impurities and even sebum from pores. The skin therefore appears overall fresh, youthful, and healthy.
