Lift & Tuck

Features & Benefits
The normal retinol molecule needs to be converted to the active form (all-trans retinoic acid) before it can bind to the retinoid receptors to activate a biological response – all dermatological benefits.

Because of this conversion, studies indicate that 1% Retinol is about 20 times weaker than the active form of Retinoic acid. 1% Retinol, equivalent to about 0.05% Retinoic acid.

The HPR retinoid molecule needs no conversion to bind to Retinoid receptors as it’s already in the active form. It binds directly to the retinoid receptor without causing irritation.

The normal retinol molecule and the newly advanced HPR retinoid are 2 totally different molecules and therefore conversion calculation would be almost impossible. It is however save to say that 3% of HPR retinoid yields significantly more retinoid receptor binding activity than 1% retinol (the highest percentage retinol in non-prescription products).

Other active ingredients in the DermExcel Retinol formulation
This formulation also contains superior active ingredients, complementing the advanced HPR molecule.

How to Use
Apply in the morning and/or evening on cleansed skin before any other product.

Follow these 3 tips to get the most out of your serum.

1. Cleanse Well
The active ingredients in skin serums will stick to dirt and dead skin, so for maximum absorption be sure to wash your face properly before applying.

2. Apply to Damp Skin
Moist skin is more permeable than dry skin, so apply serum to damp skin after cleansing for quick, deep absorption. Press serum into the skin with an open palm instead of fingertips to release active ingredients.

3. Less is More
Serums are super concentrated. Use just 1-2 pumps or a little smaller than a pea-size amount.
