The Science
Retinal
Retinal (retinaldehyde) is a Vitamin A derivative that converts directly to retinoic acid in the skin, offering faster results than traditional Retinol while reducing irritation. It boosts collagen production, accelerates cell turnover, and targets wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
(Törmä, H. Regulation of keratin expression by retinoids. Dermato-Endocrinology, 2011.)
Bakuchiol
A natural plant-based alternative to retinoids, Bakuchiol provides anti-aging benefits, such as reducing fine lines, improving firmness, and increasing collagen synthesis. Unlike Retinal, it is gentle and suitable for sensitive skin.
(Dhaliwal, S. et al. Evaluation of Bakuchiol as a Retinol Alternative. British Journal of Dermatology, 2019.)
Citrus Australasica Fruit Extract (Australian Finger Lime)
Rich in natural AHAs, this extract promotes gentle exfoliation to improve skin texture and brightness. Its high antioxidant content protects against free radical damage and inflammation.
(McDonald, J.K. et al.Bioactivity of Australian native fruits. Australian Journal of Chemistry, 2020.)
Glycolic Acid
An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its exfoliating properties, Glycolic Acid removes dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. It also enhances the absorption of other active ingredients.
