Serum 16 features hydrators coupled with retinol to target signs of aging while protecting the skin's moisture barrier function. This innovative formula helps reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone, smooth wrinkles and boost moisture without causing redness, dryness or irritation.
DETAILS
Cosmedix Serum 16 Featuring LG-Retinex is the closest thing to prescription strength age defiance without a prescription. This serum contains LG-Retinex — a proprietary encapsulation of retinol and retinaldehyde — that helps carry the active ingredients to where they need to be, for the best possible action. Great for normal to dry skin, this serum is ideal for imbalanced ageing skin, with concerns including crow's feet, fine lines and medium to deep wrinkles.
HOW TO USE
Usage AM: We do not recommend this product for use in the AM, as it may cause skin sensitivity to sun exposure.
Usage PM: Apply a small amount to freshly cleansed and toned skin as tolerated every 1-3 nights, working up to nightly use. May be followed with moisturizer if additional hydration is needed. Protect your results by wearing sunscreen daily.
BENEFITS
- A combination of science and botanical ingredients help firm skin and smooth lines and wrinkles.
- Conditioning moisturizers help attract and retain vital moisture in the skin.
- Helps to even skin tone by reducing the look of acne scars, dark spots and hyper-pigmentation.
- Acne is caused when oil, hair and dead skin cells clog pores. Ingredients such as Salicylic Acid and AGP Complex help stimulate cell turnover to curb breakouts.
- Improved texture and proper product absorption is due to exfoliation. When the surface layer of the skin is removed, fresh skin is revealed and can absorb active ingredients easier.
- LG-Retinex – a microencapsulated retinol for drier, sensitive skin – encourages skin renewal to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and imperfections.
- For those with severe gluten sensitivities or Dermatitis Herpetiformis, rest assured this product is gluten free.
-
Free radical-fighting antioxidants defend skin from environmental stress that can cause inflammation and damage to collagen and elastin.
