Osmosis MD Correct Preventative Retinal Serum

Directions

On clean skin, apply 1-2 pumps morning and/or evening. Spritz an Activating Mist and gently massage into skin. Follow with additional serum(s) and moisturizer if needed.

PRO TIP: Use this non-toxic formula around the lips and eyes to reduce fine lines and support the lipid barrier.

Please note: An Osmosis Activating Mist must be used in conjunction will all of our serums to maximise absorption of serums into the skin. This is a vital part of the Osmosis protocol to achieve maximum results. Our Mists enhance skincare product penetration and efficacy with our uniquely formulated Activating Mist facial toners. Comprised of essential minerals and peptides, this face mist delivers nutrients and moisture into the skin for a supple glow.

What are the key ingredients in Osmosis Skincare Correct Preventative Retinal Serum?

• Retinal (Retinaldehyde 0.075%) – A derivative of Vitamin A that promotes cell turnover and reduces multiple signs of ageing. See further information below for the difference between Retinal and Retinol.
• Hydroxyproline – An amino acid that helps to stabilise collagen, increase moisture and firmness in the skin.
• MSM – An organic sulfur compound that strengthens the skin’s support structure, promoting the synthesis of proteins and connective tissue for healthier, more robust skin.
• Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3 – To boost collagen production, support the reparative process of the skin and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.

What are the key benefits of Osmosis Skincare Correct Preventative Retinal Serum?

• Contains 9 non-irritating collagen stimulators
• Stimulates and feeds collagen and elastin production
• Promotes youthful and radiant skin.
• Can be used specifically around lips and eyes to reduce fine lines and wrinkles in a targeted fashion, or all over for anti ageing and lipid barrier support.

What’s the difference between Retinal and Retinol?

This could get really complicated – but essentially, Retinal is one step closer to the form of Vitamin A 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.
