Functionalab Retinol 0.5%

$135.00 CAD

Smoothing serum and complexion corrector Now Available in Surrey

  • Prevents premature aging (fine lines and wrinkles)
  • Smooths skin texture (enlarged pores and imperfections)
  • Evens out, brightens, and tones the complexion

Retinol 0.5% is a high-performance serum made with pure encapsulated retinol, specially formulated to reduce the first visible signs of aging and reveal a more radiant complexion. This advanced treatment helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles and enlarged pores, while refining skin texture and imperfections for a younger-looking face and a more even, luminous skin tone.

By combining 0.5% pure encapsulated retinol with progressive release technology, this serum works deeply to stimulate cell turnover and reduce wrinkles and fine lines while minimizing the risk of skin reactions associated with retinol. Its action on collagen and elastin production restores elasticity and firmness, while refining texture and evening out the complexion. Enriched with ceramides and omega 3, 6, and 9, Retinol 0.5% strengthens the skin barrier. These essential lipids work in synergy with a powerful natural source of hyaluronic acid to ensure optimal hydration.

Retinol 0.5% delivers an anti-aging experience that helps reduce premature sun damage, revealing smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Perfect for regular use or as a preparatory step before moving to the higher concentration of Retinol 1%.

Active ingredients:

0.5% PURE ENCAPSULATED RETINOL (VITAMIN A)

A potent form of Vitamin A, retinol stimulates cellular turnover and promotes collagen production, keeping the skin smooth and radiant.

2% PURE VITAMIN C (ET-VC™)

Enriched with ET-VC, a powerful source of stable, pure Vitamin C, this antioxidant formula protects the skin from free radicals and external aggressions. Vitamin C works synergistically with retinol to reveal a radiant, revitalized complexion.

1% BIO-COLLAGEN CATALYST YOUTH ACTIVATOR (NEODERMYL™)

The Bio-Collagen catalyst acts as a true youth activator by reactivating the production of the skin’s structural compounds (collagen and elastin). It improves elasticity, restores density, and renews a youthful, luminous appearance.

HYALURONIC ACID

Provides deep, long-lasting hydration, plumping the skin and visibly smoothing fine lines and wrinkles for soft, supple, and radiant skin.

Directions for use:

Dermatologists agree, the application of retinol-based products requires a gradual introduction, even with the best encapsulation technology offered by Functionalab.

Apply gently to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Start with an application every other evening, gradually increasing to once or twice daily, depending on skin tolerance.

Retinol 0.5% is one of the most recommended serums in aesthetic medicine to complement the benefits of resurfacing lasers, injections, or other rejuvenation treatments.
