This potent Retinol night serum minimises the potential for irritation associated with Retinol with nourishing Centella Asiatica and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid. The result is smoother, more even-looking skin.

- 4% Niacinamide: Helps to fade age spots and promote a brighter, more even skin tone.
- 2% NeoGlucosamine: Visibly firms skin while gently exfoliating to improve the appearance of photoaged skin.
- Centella Asiatica: Soothes and balances reactive skin, protecting against environmental aggressors.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Delivers intense hydration, plumping the skin for a youthful appearance.
Clinical Results:
- After 8 weeks, 97% of participants noted firmer skin, and 92% observed less noticeable wrinkles and fading age spots.

SkinCeuticals Metacell Renewal B3
Metacell Renewal B3 is a comprehensive daily anti-ageing face cream formulated to improve the appearance of early signs of ageing. This niacinamide lotion combines a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3) with a firming tripeptide concentrate and glycerin to enhance skin hydration and elasticity. It effectively addresses skin discolouration and promotes a more even skin tone, while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Research indicates that microemulsions and nanoemulsions can significantly enhance the permeation of active ingredients through the skin, improving the efficacy of topical treatments. For more information, refer to the study titled Microemulsions and Nanoemulsions in Skin Drug Delivery.
