SkinMedica Retinol Complex
This exclusive formula combines active levels of three analogs of Pro-Retinoic acid (Retinyl Pa Imitate, Retinyl Acetate and Retinol) with Tocotrienol, a powerful antioxidant and protectant. These actives are bio-converted into Retinoic acid by natural enzymatic conversion. Furthermore, this complex is administered to the skin internal and external with a dual delivery system. Upon application, the Retinol Complex cream floods the skin with these very active forms of Vitamin A for immediate delivery and conversion to Retinoic acid.
Additionally, these actives are entrapped in polymeric spheres, which gently release the actives with a time-release delivery. This allows for varying rates of bioconversion, which gives dramatic efficacy with a minimum of irritation or sensitization potential. This technically advanced formula is designed for sensitive skin, containing a trio of extremely effective anti-irritants (Canadian Willowherb Extract, Alpha Bisabolol and Japanese Green Tea Extract).
