Concentrated Firming Serum (30ml)
About
The Concentrated Firming Serum is a medical-grade, retinol-based treatment serum formulated to address visible signs of aging — fine lines, loss of firmness, uneven tone, enlarged pores, and textural irregularities. It’s designed for clients seeking to refine skin texture, support collagen production, and reveal smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
What It Is
This serum combines a potent 0.5% retinol with skin-identical lipids and emollients for a balanced, effective anti-aging treatment. Rather than a simple moisturizer or light serum, it’s a targeted retinoid therapy that helps accelerate cell turnover, encourage collagen and elastin synthesis, and smooth skin’s surface — while being buffered with lipids to minimize typical retinol-related irritation.
Key Benefits
-
Smooths fine lines & wrinkles / Firms skin — retinol helps stimulate collagen and elastin, promoting firmer, more lifted skin and reducing the appearance of existing lines and wrinkles.
-
Refines pores & improves texture — regular use helps smooth uneven texture and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, leading to a more polished, refined complexion.
-
Evens tone & reduces dark spots / hyperpigmentation — by accelerating skin cell turnover and promoting renewal, the serum can help fade post-inflammatory marks, dark spots, and uneven tone over time.
-
Hydrates and supports skin barrier while retinol works — the inclusion of lipids, phospholipids, and emollient oils helps prevent the dryness, flaking, or irritation that can come with retinol use.
-
Helps with adult acne & congestion (when part of consistent routine) — retinol’s cell-turnover action can aid in reducing breakouts, preventing clogged pores, and smoothing skin texture.
Key Ingredients
| Ingredient / Component | Function & Benefit |
|---|---|
| Retinol (0.5%) | The star anti-aging ingredient: stimulates collagen/elastin production, increases cell turnover, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin firmness and tone, helps fade dark spots. |
| Soybean Oil (Glycine Soja Oil) | Emollient and skin-softening oil rich in fatty acids; helps nourish skin, support barrier lipids, and reduce potential irritation from retinol. |
| Lecithin, Phospholipids & Glycolipids / Soy Sterols | Skin-identical lipids that support the skin barrier, enhance moisture retention, and help deliver retinol in a gentle, effective way — mitigating dryness or irritation. |
| Dimethiconol / Silicones & Emollients (Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Cocoate, Dimethiconol, etc.) | Provide silky texture, smooth skin feel, light occlusion — they help seal in moisture, soften skin, and support delivery of actives without heaviness. |
Why It Stands Out
The Concentrated Firming Serum stands out because it successfully combines potent retinol power with skin-barrier supportive lipids and emollients — offering real anti-aging benefits without the harsh dryness or irritation many retinoids cause. Its 0.5% retinol concentration delivers visible firmer skin, smoother texture, and more even tone — while lipid-rich formulation makes it accessible even to users transitioning into retinol or with dryer, more sensitive skin.
