Retinol is a form of vitamin A that circulates in the bloodstream and is delivered to the skin. Encapsulated retinol is a version of retinol that envelops the ingredient in a protective barrier. By doing this, not only is the ingredient's exposure to air and light reduced (which helps protect the formula and allows it to remain stable for longer), but it can also reduce your skin's sensitivity.  Encapsulated retinol is gentle yet potent.

 

Retinol is the gold standard of skincare. It improves collagen production, which in turn helps the skin look plump, refreshed, and young. However, it can be a sensitizing ingredient. By encapsulating retinol, we can produce a result in a "time-release” effect. Vitamin A's exposure to air and light is reduced, which helps protect the formula and remain stable and potent.
