It visibly reduces fine lines, textural irregularities, and uneven tone over time to support a radiant, refreshed complexion. The formula is fortified with the brand’s exclusive TTS³ technology, offering a powerful firming effect. An EGF peptide growth factor provides pillow-plump suppleness and noticeable elasticity. Thanks to six-point biomimetic encapsulation, active ingredients deliver high-impact efficacy, while a biomimetic base ensures fast absorption. It encourages cell renewal, collagen, and elastin production to plump, smooth, and rejuvenate the skin.
Benefits:
- Rich in supercharged actives.
- Encourages the production of collagen and elastin.
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
How to use:
Apply 1-2 pumps at night after cleansing, avoiding the eye area. Follow with eye cream and night-time moisturiser. Always wear SPF during the day while using this serum.
First-Time Vitamin A Users: If you're new to retinoids, we recommend a slow, phased approach. Start by applying the serum twice a week, monitoring skin reaction before increasing usage. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency.
Regular Vitamin A Users: If your skin is acclimatised to retinoids, apply A1 every night for optimal results. Avoid using multiple retinoids simultaneously to minimise skin sensitisation.
