THE SCIENCE BEHIND RETINOL 0.5
Accelerate Cell Turnover with Retinol
Cellular turnover is the process of skin cells being shed and replaced with undamaged cells. This process heals the damage caused by environmental aggressors like UV radiation, and keeps skin looking healthy, hydrated, and plump. As skin ages, turnover decreases and cell damage accumulates. Retinol 0.5 is a powerful treatment that stimulates cell renewal and restores collagen production, keeping skin smooth, soft, and even.
