Retinal Infusion MLV5 Serum

$155.00
Retinal Infusion MLV5 Serum is a next-generation retinoid treatment designed for clinically-tested efficacy with minimal irritation. This advanced serum features 0.05% pure Retinal (retinaldehyde) – a potent Vitamin A derivative – delivered through an innovative dual-layer encapsulation system, and 1% Bakuchiol – a plant-derived alternative to retinol (a “phyto-retinol”) without having any of the negatives associated with retinol. The formulation also includes Centella Asiatica (Cica) Exosomes to visibly soothe and support the skin barrier, and Sodium Hyaluronate to deeply hydrate and fortify the moisture barrier. It visibly targets multiple signs of aging (wrinkles, uneven tone, and rough texture), while maintaining skin’s hydration and comfort. Clinically tested for visible improvements in skin quality, it offers a sophisticated yet gentle skin renewal experience.

The serum’s name, MLV5, refers to the Multi-Lamellar Vesicle (MLV) Technology encapsulating 0.05% pure Retinal. A 5% concentration of multi-lamellar liposomes is used to optimize skin absorption of the active. This advanced delivery system ensures that the powerful retinoid is stabilized, protected from degradation, and effectively delivered into the skin. As a result, users can achieve accelerated results with significantly reduced risk of irritation. The outcome is a highly effective retinoid treatment that balances clinical potency with minimal sensitization, making it appropriate for a wide range of skin types.

Clinically tested visible benefits in just 2 weeks (based on in-vivo clinical tests on 21 subjects over 2 weeks):
+ Visibly refined pores
+ Reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet
+ Visibly improved skin texture
+ Reduced the look of pigmentation (melasma, dark spots, and freckles)
+ Improved skin hydration

30mL

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry face and neck at night, avoiding the eye area and direct contact with eyes. Start with one application per week, then gradually increase to 2–3 times weekly, ensuring at least one day between applications, based on your skin’s tolerance. Once the serum absorbs, apply a moisturizer to help minimize dryness or irritation. If mild redness occurs, reduce frequency of use until skin adjusts. As Retinal can increase sun sensitivity, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day. Do not combine with other retinol or retinoid products. Patch testing prior to use is advised.

Caution: Do not use on damaged or irritated skin. Do not use in case of allergy to any of the ingredients. For external use only. Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear and consult a doctor. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with water. Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Store in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of the reach of children.
