product description:
RETIN contains 0.5% Retinol, a fat soluble form of Vitamin A, more potent and faster absorbing than Retinyl Palmitate. It can help reduce sebum production, exfoliate and thicken the epidermis [1] similarly to retinoic acid, but with less chance of erythema/skin reddening and better absorbing then retinyl palmitate [2]. Retinol is both sensitive to light, oxygen, heat and water, so the formula has been designed to preserve its potency for as long as possible. Green Tea Extract contains epigallocatechin (EGCG), an antioxidant which exhibits antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties [4].
RECOMMENDED ACNE REGIMEN 1. Use our "BENZD" formula every morning as a preventative acne and spot treatment.
2. Use our "CLNS" cleanser formula every evening, and avoid mechanical exfoliation.
3. Use our "RETIN" formula every evening until your acne is under control, then every other evening.
