Inspired by the latest generation retinoids, this active ingredient - derived from a specific fraction of micro-algae - is a marine bio-retinol. Algaktiv retinart offers the same repairing, balancing and soothing performance as retinol, without any irritation or photosensitization. It helps even out skin tone for firmer, naturally radiant skin and is suitable for sensitive skin.
In recent years, retinol has been a star ingredient in anti-aging products. However, this active ingredient, despite its many benefits, has undesirable effects. It acts on the dermis, and the epidermis, generating burns due to photosensitization of the skin, and irritations. It is the α and ɣ receptors, located between the dermis and the epidermis for the one, and in the epidermis only, for the other, which will interact with retinol and its derivatives.
Active ingredients that interact only with the β-receptor, located in the dermis only, avoid the burns caused by retinol and classic retinoids.
In order to target this receptor, Summit Cosmetics Europe offers, thanks to its supplier Algaktiv S.L, Algaktiv retinart: an optimized retinoid without side effects.
