Smoothing serum and complexion corrector
$135.00

Retinol 0.5% is a high-performance serum made with pure encapsulated retinol, specially formulated to reduce the first visible signs of aging and reveal a more radiant complexion. This advanced treatment helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles and enlarged pores, while refining skin texture and imperfections for a younger-looking face and a more even, luminous skin tone. 

By combining 0.5% pure encapsulated retinol with progressive release technology, this serum works deeply to stimulate cell turnover and reduce wrinkles and fine lines while minimizing the risk of skin reactions associated with retinol. Its action on collagen and elastin production restores elasticity and firmness, while refining texture and evening out the complexion. Enriched with ceramides and omega 3, 6, and 9, Retinol 0.5% strengthens the skin barrier. These essential lipids work in synergy with a powerful natural source of hyaluronic acid to ensure optimal hydration. 

Retinol 0.5% delivers an anti-aging experience that helps reduce premature sun damage, revealing smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.  

Perfect for regular use or as a preparatory step before moving to the higher concentration of Retinol 1%. 

Even with the best encapsulation process offered by Functionalab, applying products that contain retinoids in its ingredient list requires a gradual integration into your skincare routine. It is recommended to carefully respect the following gradual integration without skipping any steps:

• Begin by applying your retinol-based serum once every 3 nights for 2 weeks on the face avoiding eye contour.
• Then, apply every 2 nights for 2 weeks.
• Finally, proceed to once a night for 2 weeks.
• Implement the same process in the morning. For optimal tolerance, especially for more sensitive skin types, use the serum at night only and limit sun exposure without sunscreen.
