Sensitive and redness-prone skin types should start with a lower frequency of application.Important note: When using, the use of sun protection, ideally SPF 50, is strongly recommended in the morning, as the ingredients can increase the skin's sensitivity to light.Application in the evening. After using The Ten out of Ten Cleanser, apply a pump of the serum to dry skin and massage gently into the face, neck and décolleté. Avoid the eye area and particularly sensitive skin areas. Due to the slightly exfoliating effect of the Essential Essence Toner, it should be slowly incorporated into the same routine as the Absolute A/A+ Serum. To do this, the face should be allowed to dry completely after using the Essential Essence Toner and then the Absolute A Serum should be applied as described. To complete the routine, apply the Barrier Boost CPA Barrier Cream.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL

Retinal tackles various skin problems: It can help with both premature signs of skin aging and blemishes.

REDUZIERTER REIZUNGSPOTENZIAL

No effect without side effect: Retinal, as a retinoid, has a certain irritation potential. Absolute A counteracts this with a skin barrier-strengthening ceramide complex, ectoin, as well as skin-soothing pre- and postbiotics.

'WELL-AGING' COMPLEX

The evidence-based retinal concentration is accompanied by 5 peptides with 'well-aging' properties, which can simultaneously moisturize the skin and stimulate collagen synthesis.

HIGH STABILITY

Retinal is encapsulated in liposomes, which increases its stability in the formulation and can improve skin penetration.

RETINAL

0.05% encapsulated retinal requires only conversion to the active form of vitamin A and is therefore considered the most effective over-the-counter retinoid. It can reduce skin aging signs such as fine lines and wrinkles, promote skin elasticity, help improve skin texture and increase epidermal thickness. In addition, retinal also has the ability to unclog pores and reduce bacteria that can cause acne.

Encapsulating retinal also ensures better stability and skin penetration of the active ingredient, as it contains phospholipids, which form the stratum corneum for the encapsulated cosmetic Make active ingredients more permeable.

10% PRE- & POSTBIOTICS

10% pre- and postbiotics reduce inflammatory reactions, have an antioxidant effect and soothe the skin after irritation.

The postbiotic Bifida Ferment Lysate activates natural cell protection, protects the skin from premature aging and can improve visible skin redness. In addition, it can strengthen the skin barrier through increased production of proteins that serve to stabilize the cell groups in the skin.

Lactococcus Ferment Lysate promotes skin renewal and accelerates the restoration of the skin barrier. It can improve skin barrier function, optimize skin moisture and regulate skin pH, which can allow the skin's lipid-forming enzymes to work close to their pH optimum. This can lead to optimized skin barrier formation.

The prebiotics alpha-glucan oligosaccharides and inulin serve as a food source for bacteria and can thus together support the commensal skin flora and strengthen the skin barrier by inhibiting the growth of unwanted bacteria on the skin. Together they can relieve skin symptoms such as dryness and itching.

PEPTIDE

Peptides are promising active ingredients and are becoming increasingly important in the area of “well aging”. The 5-peptide complex of the Absolute A Serum plays a particularly exciting role:

Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 together form the peptide complex Matrixyl™3000. This can lead to a reduction in wrinkles as well as an improvement in skin texture and an increase in skin thickness.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptide that has a moisturizing effect. It is believed that it may reduce muscle contraction in the skin and thus may have a similar effect to Botox.

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is structurally related to the precursor of type I collagen and has been shown to help reduce periorbital wrinkles in several studies prove effective.

Copper Tripeptide-1 is one of the most researched peptides. As a signal and carrier peptide, it promotes the synthesis of collagen, elastin, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, thus ensuring improved skin texture and the reduction of fine lines. In addition, it has a strong antioxidant effect and can have an anti-inflammatory effect.

CERAMIDE

Ceramides are an essential component of a healthy skin barrier. They play a crucial role in the skin's water retention capacity and prevent excessive transepidermal water loss. They strengthen the skin barrier, lock in moisture, soothe the skin and improve the skin texture for a supple complexion.

ECTOIN

Ectoin effectively provides moisture and has anti-inflammatory properties.

FAQ

How do I incorporate the Retinal Serum into my routine?

The basic routine we recommend is as follows: Cleanse, Prepare, TREAT, Moisturize. TREAT stands here initially for the Absolute A series, further products will follow. To minimize skin irritation, the retinal sandwich method can be applied: After cleansing with the Ten out of Ten Cleanser, apply the Barrier Boost Cream, followed by the Absolute A/A+ Serum, and finally a thin layer of Barrier Boost CPA Barrier Repair Cream.

Can I use the Absolute A/A+ series during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

No, during pregnancy and breastfeeding it is not recommended to use products containing retinoids. The use of products containing retinoids can be problematic during this time, as excessive amounts of vitamin A can be harmful to the unborn child or the breastfeeding baby.

When can I use the advanced product Absolute A+?

If you have already had experience with retinoids (e.g., retinol/retinal) and use them regularly without irritation, Absolute A+ is the right serum for you. Important to note: 0.1% retinal is approximately equivalent to the effect of 1% retinol, so it's best to start with a low application frequency!

What short-term undesirable reactions may occur? Can it lead to 'skin purging'?

We attach great importance in minimizing the irritation potential of retinal in our formulation by adding soothing and nourishing ingredients such as 10% prebiotics and postbiotics, ceramides, 5 different peptides and ectoin. These ingredients are carefully selected to strengthen the skin barrier and improve the tolerance of retinal.

If there are still unwanted reactions such as dryness or skin irritations, the frequency of application of the product can be reduced. For example, it may be considered to use the product only every second or third evening. This allows the skin to gradually get used to the product and minimizes the risk of irritation.

Can I use the retinal product with AHA, BHA, PHA (chemical peelings) on the same evening?

We recommend using the products of the Absolute A series alternately with chemical peelings and not on the same evening. Ideally, you should use the chemical peeling in the evening before the retinal and take a break from active ingredients in the following days.

How often should one use the retinal product?

The most important factor for the effect is the regular application of the product. The frequency can be increased carefully and slowly, depending on skin acclimatization, from once a week to daily use.

Can I combine vitamin C and vitamin A products?

Yes, in skincare, vitamin C and vitamin A can be combined. For example, a vitamin C product can be applied under sunscreen in the morning and vitamin A in the evening. Here, too, attention must be paid to one's own skin feeling and the concentration used, as vitamin C, for example in the form of ascorbic acid, can also be irritating. Don't forget: Sunscreen (ideally SPF 50) during the day is mandatory when using vitamin C and vitamin A.

Can I start using the Absolute A Retinal Serum in the summer? Isn't it actually discouraged?

It is true that it is generally recommended to carefully integrate retinoids like retinal into the skincare routine, especially when using them for the first time. During the summer months, the skin can react more sensitively to the sun when it is accustomed to retinoids. Therefore, many skincare experts recommend starting the application in autumn or winter when the sunlight is less intense. It can still be started in the summer if one adheres to using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF 50) during the day and avoids direct sunlight. Our Absolute A/ A+ Retinal Serum should only be used in the evening and at the beginning, it is best to use it only once a week.
