Medicube Deep Vita A Retinol Serum

Description

What Is the Deep Vita A Retinol Serum?

This serum pairs the brand’s HPR+5 Retinol Complex at 1% with a Collagen Complex at 3%. The retinol side is built in layers, which is what the brand means by its seven layers of retinol, and it’s designed to support the skin’s own collagen. The collagen side adds the bounce and plumpness that gives this serum its “intensive bouncing” label on the tube.

Retinol can be demanding on skin, so the formula surrounds it with ingredients that keep skin comfortable and resilient, including panthenol, squalane and centella asiatica. It’s a serum for people who want a proper retinol treatment and are happy to build up to it gradually.

Key Ingredients

• HPR+5 Retinol Complex, 1%. A layered retinol complex that supports collagen and helps smooth the look of wrinkles and fine lines.
• Collagen Complex, 3%. Includes hydrolysed collagen, supporting a bouncier, more youthful look.
• Helps brighten the look of dark spots.
• Helps repair and comfort skin.
• Keeps skin resilient while the retinol does its work.
• Beta glucan and centella asiatica. Soothe the skin alongside the retinol.

How to Use

1. Start small. At the serum step of your evening routine, apply a pea sized amount to wrinkle, freckle and blemish areas.
2. Go slowly. Use it every second day for the first two weeks.
3. Build up. After two weeks, gradually increase the amount, then apply a thin layer over the whole face every evening.

This is an evening serum. Wear sunscreen the next morning, and avoid layering it with other strong actives on the same night. As with any retinol, check with your doctor first if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.

How Is This Different from the Retinol NMN Boosting Serum?

Both are retinol serums for fine lines, built for slightly different priorities. The Retinol NMN Boosting Serum pairs retinol with NMN and is positioned around low irritation. The Deep Vita A Retinol Serum pairs a retinol complex with a collagen complex, so the focus is on bounce and firmness alongside the smoothing.

If you want retinol with NMN and a gentle introduction, choose the Retinol NMN Boosting Serum. If you want a retinol serum with a built in collagen boost for a bouncier finish, choose this one.

Who It’s For

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Skin that has lost bounce and firmness
• Dark spots, freckles and blemish marks
• Anyone happy to introduce retinol gradually
