Key Ingredients:

• Highly-active 0.5% encapsulated Retinol - induces collagen synthesis and helps reduce visible fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration and uneven skin texture
• Vitamin C - an antioxidant that helps enhance collagen synthesis and correct the signs of premature aging
• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 - stimulates collagen synthesis, helps firm skin and overrides the effects of MMPs. Activates Tissue Growth Factor (TGF), a peptide that is required in its active state for collagen production to occur
• Tetradecyl Aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric Urea Trifluoroacetate (TAUT) - a tripeptide molecule that helps stimulate collagen, firm and tone skin, and increase hydration
• Bioenergized Copper Amino Acid Complex - shown to help reduce visible wrinkles and improve skin firmness
• Ceramides - reinforce the barrier lipid layer that controls TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss)
• Lavender Oil - helps soothe skin and calm irritation

Benefits:

• Microencapsulation technology delivers quicker, more effective penetration of Retinol to address signs of skin aging
• Diminishes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone
• Customizable for each user to help minimize skin irritation from Retinol
• Synchronizes with nighttime circadian rhythms for dramatic nighttime skin repair

Directions:

• Start by performing Dermalogica Double Cleanse (Precleanse & AGE Smart Skin Resurfacing Cleanser)
• Follow up with Dermalogica AGE Smart Antioxidant HydraMist to tone the skin
• For best results, mix one part Overnight Retinol Repair with up to three parts Buffer Cream
• Apply to skin at night, when cell renewal is at its prime
• Once your skin is acclimated, you may use Overnight Retinol Repair alone, prior to or mixed with your prescribed Dermalogica moisturizer
