Description
Essel Aesthet Retinol Cream is an anti-ageing night cream with 1% retinol, stabilised with antioxidants, to encourage smoother-looking skin with a more even tone and fewer visible fine lines. TighRenyl, a bio-technological complex of glycosaminoglycans, helps the skin surface look smoother and firmer.
Omega 6 and 3 ceramides from raspberry seed oil and natural polysaccharides help restore moisture and support the skin barrier, while a heptapeptide and gorgonian extract help reduce the flaking and irritation often associated with retinol. Vitamins A, C and E and borage oil complete the formula.
