RetiFol

0.4% encapsulated retinol plus gentle exfoliating peptides

A step up from your entry-level vitamin A serum (Ultimate A), this powerful serum combines stable, controlled-release retinol and acid-free resurfacing peptide technology to amplify the skin’s rejuvenating effects without adding acids.

Delivering a potent dose of 0.4% encapsulated retinol, this formulation reduces the appearance of fine lines, minimises excess oil, balances uneven skin tone, and gently exfoliates to optimise skin cell turnover for clearer, smoother, and more youthful skin.

Benefits:

• Encapsulated retinol combined with gentle, acid free exfoliating
  peptide technology
• Refines skin texture with synergistic acid-free exfoliation
• Increases the rate of cell renewal for a more youthful glow
• Reduces the appearance of uneven skin tone and sun damage
• Reduces breakouts and congestion by reducing excess oil
• Stimulates collagen to minimise fine lines and wrinkles
• BHT and BHA free

How To Use:

Apply one pump over the face and neck in the evening. Always apply RetiFol sparingly and gradually build up to daily use whilst monitoring tolerance.

Ingredients:

RetiFol 0.4% retinol – ‘Release on Demand’ technology:
The new technology involved in formulating Retifol serum uses a cellulose-based polymer (BHT and BHA free) to safely encapsulate and protect the active retinol.
The Retifol 0.4% retinol formula uses encapsulation ‘Release on Demand’ technology. This keeps the retinol molecules active and protected for maximum shelf life and stability. The active retinol easily releases from the protective cellulose capsule upon the natural massaging skin application process whereby outer microcapsules break down and disintegrate on the skin surface to release the active retinol payload for controlled and continuous delivery to the target cells.

Gentle Peptide Resurfacing Complex:
Synergie Skin has added a gentle peptide resurfacing complex derived from yeast and soy. This complex gently breaks the protein bonds between the skin’s surface cells to accelerate the cell shedding process and amplify the beneficial effects of the retinol.

Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI):
A stability and penetration enhancer used to enable more retinol to be delivered gently to target cells. A sustainable ingredient derived from starch, DMI acts as a carrier and enhances targeted delivery and dwell time of active ingredients to the epidermal and dermal cells. This ingredient serves to amplify the cellular benefits of the active ingredients.

Oat Beta Glucan:
A powerful botanically derived ingredient recommended for reducing fine lines, promoting wound healing, reducing scarring and enhancing the penetration of active ingredients.

Betaine
Acts as a humectant and an osmoregulatory to control and maintain water balance in the skin. It also counteracts skin irritants and assists in reducing inflammation.
