Vital A Serum

SALON PROFESSIONAL

Our Vital A contains 0.4% encapsulated retinol, a version of retinol that envelops the ingredient in a protective, multi-layer liquid crystalline microsphere.

When applied to skin, its moisturising outer-coating time-releases the active Retinol, which penetrates deep into the skin to deliver superior results, while mitigating potential side effects.

It also creates an invisible protective shield on the skin’s surface, which helps reduce moisture loss.

What are the benefits of retinoids on the skin?

• Increased cell turnover: new skin formation and the destruction of abnormal skin cells.
• Reduced melanin production: this causes a reduction in pigmentation including sunspots.
• Stimulates collagen production: resulting in improved hydration and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
• Repairs abnormal cells: improving overall skin health.
• Normalizes abnormal/excessive keratinisation: this is its main role in the treatment of acne.
• Decreases sebaceous gland activity: again this results in fewer acne lesions and improved skin hydration.

How do retinoids benefit the appearance of the skin?

• Smoother skin texture: this results in the decreased appearance of acne scarring, stretch marks, and surgical scars.
• Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduced pigmentation: this is useful in conditions such as melasma, sun spots, freckles, actinic bronzing, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• Reduced pore size and oiliness of the skin
• Reduction in acne lesions

What does Vitamin E do to the skin?

Vitamin E can rejuvenate your skin and overall health while neutralising free radicals that cause damage to cells. Applied topically, it provides intensive nourishment and protection to your skin cells, that can calm and improve a number of skin conditions.
