Retinol

Description

Harness the transforming power of Retinol, pure vitamin A and the most evidence-backed over-the-counter anti-aging ingredient, expertly blended into your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare. Converted in the skin to retinoic acid, Retinol (C₂₀H₃₀O) normalizes cell turnover and rebuilds collagen; in a double-blind, vehicle-controlled trial it significantly reduced fine wrinkles while increasing collagen. ORY^® uses stabilized, encapsulated Retinol protected by antioxidants in opaque, airless packaging. In your custom night serum, night cream, eye cream, or body lotion, it smooths fine lines and wrinkles, firms and refines texture, fades sun spots and post-acne marks, and keeps pores clear. Ideal for mature, oily, acne-prone, normal, and combination skin, it excels at visible, long-term renewal when introduced gradually, and it pairs beautifully with Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Peptides, and Allantoin to minimize irritation. Customize your cruelty-free nighttime formulation for smoother, firmer, clearer skin. Caution: For nighttime use. Retinol increases sun sensitivity, so apply sunscreen every morning. Start slowly, as temporary dryness, redness, or peeling may occur. Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Keep away from eyes, lips, and nostrils, do not use with Benzoyl Peroxide or strong acids in the same application, and patch test.
