The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster
Retinal and peptide booster for firmer, smoother-looking skin
About
A concentrated night booster that pairs 0.1% encapsulated retinal with peptides, niacinamide and panthenol to help skin look firmer and smoother while softening the look of fine lines and pores. It also contains fine micro-particles that can give a light tingle as you apply it. The light, lotion-like texture goes on after toner and before moisturiser in the evening, and suits most skin types once introduced gradually.
How to use
Use in the evening only: after toner, smooth a small amount over the face, avoiding the eye area, then follow with moisturiser. Start two or three nights a week and build up as skin adjusts, patch test first, and wear sunscreen every morning. Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and do not use on broken or irritated skin.
