1% Retinol Booster

The 1% Retinol Booster combines highly concentrated encapsulated retinol with additional soothing and hydrating ingredients. It offers a powerful slow-aging effect: wrinkles are effectively minimized, and skin firmness, texture, and hyperpigmentation are improved. The Vitamin A Serum, with 0.3% vitamin A derivatives, provides a more comprehensive and gentler skincare experience. The active complex it contains reduces the risk of irritation while enhancing the slow-aging effects of your routine. The skin not only appears smoother but also clearer and more even, as blemishes, acne marks, and pigmentation spots are reduced.

Retinol delivers impressive anti-aging results: smoother skin, fewer wrinkles, a more even complexion, and refined texture. Thanks to an innovative encapsulation technology, the skin is treated effectively and gently. With proper use, retinol can result in a visibly more youthful appearance. Patience and consistent, mindful application are key to achieving the desired results.

Various studies show that with continuous use, retinol offers initial improvements in skin texture within 4 to 6 weeks: smoother skin surface, slight reduction of fine lines, and reduced blemishes. After about 8 to 12 weeks, the anti-aging effects become more noticeable: wrinkles and fine lines soften, and pigmentation spots and discolorations begin to fade. Patience and consistent, mindful application are essential to achieving the desired results.

Yes, sensitive skin can also benefit from the anti-aging advantages of our 1% Retinol Booster, provided it is introduced gradually into the routine. On one hand, the encapsulated retinol differs from traditional retinol due to its special release method. The gentle release, increased stability, and better tolerability reduce the risk of irritation. On the other hand, applying it with a moisturizer (at a 1:3 ratio) makes the application even gentler. For sensitive skin, a patch test is especially recommended before using retinol.

Yes, as long as it is introduced carefully, with a maximum usage of once a week initially. One pump of the 1% Retinol Booster should be mixed with your favorite moisturizer (without Vitamin A) at a 1:3 ratio before application. A special encapsulation gently releases the retinol, reducing the risk of skin irritation and improving tolerability even for sensitive skin. Adequate hydration and barrier-strengthening products support your skin during the adjustment phase. Additionally, sunscreen with at least SPF 30 should be used during the day.

In the evening, cleanse your face as usual. Then, mix one pump of the 1% Retinol Booster with your favorite moisturizer (without vitamin A) at a ratio of 1:3 and apply. Be sure to shake the booster before use. It's important to introduce the booster into your routine slowly at first, as your skin needs to get used to the new active ingredient. We recommend using it once a week to start. You can gradually increase this until you can use the product regularly - we recommend a maximum of 2-3 times a week. If signs of skin irritation appear, stop using it for a few days and support your skin with soothing skincare products.

For direct layering with the 1% Retinol Booster or using it on the same day, you can use any products that meet your personal skincare needs, as long as they do not also contain retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHAs & BHA), or Vitamin C. You don’t need to avoid these ingredients altogether—they should just be used on different days within your weekly skincare routine. The 1% Retinol Booster should be applied together with your favorite moisturizer. Simply mix one pump of the 1% Retinol Booster with your cream (without Vitamin A) in a 1:3 ratio on your hand.

No, our Night Cream also contains retinol (0.05%). Applying the 1% Retinol Booster mixed with a moisturizer at a 1:3 ratio keeps Vitamin A intake within a safe range. Using additional retinol products would exceed the recommended daily limit.
