1.
COSMEDIX SERUM 16

"Love love love, offers me enough hydration and a gentle and effective form of Vitamin A! Everyone and anyone needs Vitamin A in their routine. Leaves my skin glowing and hydrated." – Bec Bennett, AST Internal Sales and Account Manager

 

DESCRIPTION

Powered by LG-Retinex and loaded with Vitamin E, this rapid renewal complex is the perfect way to introduce dry, sensitive skin to a Retinol product. It is a non-irritating, hydrating formula which helps to normalise and renew skin for youth-enhancing results.

 

KEY INGREDIENTS AND BENEFITS

  • Vitamin E | a skin conditioning antioxidant to help fight free radical damage.
     
  • Squalene | boosts hydration to help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier and has antioxidant properties to fight free radical damage.

  • LG-Retinex | a proprietary GAG-enhanced encapsulation of retinol and Retinaldehyde that provides maximum-strength skin renewal, without the typical irritation experienced with most Retinoids. Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) help transport retinol and retinal to assist in correcting skin receptor sites.
