Microencapsulated Retinol

Microencapsulated retinol is pure retinol that has been enclosed within tiny protective capsules. This encapsulation technology serves two purposes: it protects the retinol from degradation by light and air, and it allows for controlled, gradual release into the skin.

Traditional retinol is notoriously unstable and can cause significant irritation, especially when first introduced. The microencapsulation process addresses both concerns, delivering retinol that remains potent longer and is released slowly for improved tolerability.

This form of retinol allows sensitive skin types to benefit from vitamin A without the harsh adjustment period typically associated with retinoid use.
