KEY INGREDIENTS

Retinol

Climbazole

Climbazole has been proven to boost the activity of vitamin A in the skin, for increased age-defying power without the common irritating effects.

A powerful antioxidant that deeply nourishes the skin and helps to stabilize retinol for optimal power.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

This is age-defying retinol with a performance-enhancing twist.

DANIEL ISAACS Chief Product Officer

When retinol is applied to the skin, it is converted to retinoic acid (the active form of vitamin A).

This active form exfoliates the skin, refining the look of skin texture for more youthful-looking skin over time.

Within Intelligent Retinol, retinol's performance is enhanced by climbazole, a breakthrough ingredient in vitamin A technology that has been proven to boost the activity of retinol by blocking the enzymes which break down retinoic acid in the skin.*

The result is supercharged visible results, without the common irritating downsides of other vitamin A formulas.

FAQS

Can I use Intelligent Retinol while pregnant or breastfeeding?

+
As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy or breastfeeding. We strongly recommend discussing the ingredients with your physician or obstetrician before use. We do, however, generally recommend avoiding vitamin A use while pregnant or breastfeeding.
When and how should I apply Intelligent Retinol?

+
Intelligent Retinol should only be applied as part of your evening regimen. After cleansing in the evening, massage 4 drops evenly across face, neck and décolletage. Follow with a moisturizer.
Can I use Intelligent Retinol alongside vitamin C formulas?

+
Absolutely. In fact, we recommend the daily use of these 2 powerful actives as our proven pairing for more youthful-looking skin. Apply vitamin C in the morning and vitamin A at night for proven age-defying results.
What's the difference between Intelligent Retinol and Crystal Retinal?

+
The main difference is that Intelligent Retinol is formulated with retinOL, whereas Crystal Retinal is formulated with next-generation retinAL. While retinol is a great option for vitamin A beginners, retinal is proven to work up to 11x faster than standard retinol in delivering visible age-defying results.*
