What are the key ingredients in Osmosis Skincare Renew Advanced Retinal Serum?
- Retinal (Retinaldehyde at 0.15%) – a form of Vitamin A that promotes cell turnover and regeneration to reduce multiple signs of aging.
- 1,3 Beta Glucan – Activates macrophage immune cells, to protect, moisturise and promote healing through cell turnover. Collagen synthesis is stimulated, while 1,3 Beta Glucan also acts as an antioxidant.
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 – A wrinkle filler that acts from the inside out by rebuilding skin framework through 6 amino acids.
- Sodium Hyaluronate (L) (Hyaluronic Acid) – a smaller molecular size of Hyaluronic Acid which is able to easily penetrate the skin, binding moisture under the surface of the skin to assist in plumping and moisture retention.
What’s the difference between Retinal and Retinol?
This could get really complicated – but essentially, Retinal is one step closer to what our body can actually utilise than Retinol. In this sense, it offers faster results, but is also less inflammatory and needs to be used at a much lower percentage. Comparing retinol percentages with retinal percentages is like comparing apples (retinol) with apple pie (retinal) – it’s completely transformed (and tastes all the sweeter).
Which Retinal product from Osmosis Skincare will suit my skincare needs?
Calm Gentle Retinal Serum is a great product for those who experience sensitivity.
Correct Preventative Retinal Serum will suit most skin types to correct ageing and uneven skin tone and texture.
Renew Advanced Retinal Serum is the step up from Correct, and offers a higher percentage of Retinal. It should not be a first step for users of retinol or retinal, as can cause inflammation in those who have not adapted their skin to regular retinal use.
Clarify Blemish Retinal Serum is a great option for those with excessively oily or blemish prone skin types to balance sebum production. It has a very high concentration of retinal, and can be used as an all over treatment for those with oily skin types, or as a spot treatment for those with hormonal or irregular breakouts.
What makes the delivery system of Osmosis Skincare so effective?
Osmosis surrounds their active ingredients in a liposome called phosphatidylcholine, which has been shown to increase product penetration by 600%. This means your ingredients go further, and the fact that this liposome is constructed from a choline head and essential fatty acid chain means that the ingredients are protected during delivery, and the quality of the skin barrier is increased – preventing water evaporation from skin.
