Key ingredients
RetiFol 0.4% retinol – ‘Release on Demand’ technology:
The RetiFol formula uses cellulose-based encapsulation technology to help protect the retinol molecule and support enhanced stability. Upon application and gentle massage, the microcapsules release retinol gradually onto the skin for controlled delivery.
Gentle Peptide Resurfacing Complex:
A peptide resurfacing complex derived from yeast and soy that helps support smoother-looking skin texture and enhances the visible benefits of retinol.
Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI):
A delivery enhancer that supports targeted penetration of active ingredients into the skin.
Oat Beta Glucan:
A botanically derived ingredient that helps support skin comfort and improve the appearance of fine lines.
Betaine
A humectant that helps maintain water balance in the skin and supports skin comfort.
A note from Terri
RetiFol combines encapsulated retinol technology with gentle delivery systems to support smoother, firmer and more even-looking skin. The ‘release on demand’ technology helps deliver retinol gradually to the skin while supporting stability and minimising potential irritation. This advanced formula is designed to support skin renewal, improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and visibly reduce signs of skin ageing.
