Key Ingredients & Their Roles

• Retinol / Retinal / Retinyl derivatives — stimulate skin renewal, boost collagen production, and help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging.
• Bakuchiol — a plant-based retinol alternative that supports anti-aging and cell turnover with gentler potential irritation — good for sensitive skin.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — brightens skin tone, helps even out complexion, minimizes pores and supports barrier health.
• Squalane + botanical oils (macadamia, jojoba, olive, grape seed) — nourish, soften, and help maintain skin moisture and elasticity without heaviness.
• Hydrolyzed Collagen + Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) — hydrate deeply, plump skin, and support firmness and smoothness.
• Barrier lipids (Ceramides, Cholesterol, etc.) + soothing agents (Panthenol, Allantoin, Centella) — help protect and repair skin barrier, reduce irritation, and keep skin calm while retinoids act.

How to Use

• Use in the evening on clean, dry skin — after cleansing and toning.
• Start with a pea-sized amount (or rice-grain sized, if first use), applying gently over face (avoiding delicate eye area).
• In the first 1–2 weeks, apply 2–3 times per week to allow skin to adapt.
• After adaptation, you may increase usage to every night, applying a thin layer.
• Always follow with a moisturizer to support skin barrier.
• Important: In daytime, always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen — retinoids increase sun sensitivity.

Benefits Deep Vita A Retinol Serum

• Helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing skin and refining texture.

• Great as anti-aging, anti-blemish, and complexion-improving serum — versatile for many needs.

Contraindications / Warnings

• Not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, due to retinoid content.
• Avoid if you have very sensitive or compromised skin barrier — patch-test first.
• Do not use together with strong exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or high-concentration Vitamin C — can cause irritation.
• Always use sunscreen daily after applying retinol serum — skin becomes more photosensitive.
• Avoid applying on broken, inflamed, or freshly treated skin (e.g. post-chemical peel, laser).
