KEY INGREDIENTS / BENEFITS:

• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), 0.2%, is a gentler ester form of retinoic acid. Published studies suggest HPR delivers retinoid benefits, including faster cell turnover, smoother texture, less pore congestion and a more even tone, with noticeably less redness and irritation.
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3) calms the skin, reduces moisture loss, supports ceramide production, brightens, and helps balance oil.
• Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer is a time-release form of hyaluronic acid that binds more than 5 times the moisture of regular HA and keeps releasing it over 24 hours.
• Olive-derived squalane mimics the skin's natural lipids to balance oil and support the moisture barrier.
• Bisabolol and allantoin help maintain moisture balance and calm the skin.
