RETINOL: A SHINING STAR AT DERMATOLOGISTS'...
BUT NOT WITHOUT CONSTRAINTS
This dermatological reference molecule has also been synonymous with tolerance issues and formulation challenges. Indeed, up until recently, it simply was not a viable option for patients with sensitive skin. Women would complain of peeling, redness and discomfort. Besides, Retinol had been reserved for nocturnal application due to its fragile structure and photosensitizing effects. But not every retinol would be created equal...
2016 - LA ROCHE-POSAY GOES BEYOND,
WITH RETINOL FOR DAY USE
Skincare engineers faced a final challenge in optimizing the use of this pluripotent molecule: formulating it for daytime use. Indeed it is during the day, when skin is over-exposed to environmental stressors, that the corrective power of Retinol is most needed.
In 2016, Retinol has finally been captured within an active environmental multi-shield:
- Anti-long UVA and UVB SPF 30 to prevent age spots, dehydration and roughness.
- Anti-oxidant with Carnosine to combat in-depth damage leading to wrinkles and boost the energy metabolism of skin's collagen-making cells, fibroblasts.
- Anti-pollution with an anti-adhesion texture to avoid complexion graying and dullness due to pollution particles.
Protected against environmental aggressors, skin is free to channel its energy into maintaining healthy, youthful tissue as well as reap the full benefits of the benchmark corrective molecule.
Recognized as one the best anti-ageing molecules, Retinol has been part of dermatologists' arsenal for decades.
Committed to supporting advancements in dermatology, La Roche-Posay has made major breakthroughs in improving and facilitating the use of this reference molecule. It is far from finished unlocking its best anti-aging secrecy!
