Full description
Cosmedix Serum 16 is a rapid renewal serum powered by patent-pending LG-Retinex complex, combining micro-encapsulated Retinol and Retinaldehyde to encourage skin renewal with less chance of irritation.
Vitamin E, sodium Hyaluronate and Squalene help to hydrate, smooth and support the skins barrier, making Serum 16 a great introduction to retinoids, particularly for those who are sensitive to retinoids or have dry, sensitive or normal skin.
The serum gently works overnight to help refine the skins surface, promoting a more radiant complexion while nourishing the skin with hydration.
Cosmedix Serum 16 is not suitable to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
How it works
How it works
Serum 16 works by combining micro encapsulates Retinol and Retinaldehyde with the advanced LG-Retinex delivery system.
This dual retinoid technology slowly releases vitamin A derivatives to help support the skins renewal process, improving the look of texture, tone and clarity while combating dryness and irritation.
The formula is enriched with Sodium Hyaluronate and Squalene, which work in synergy to replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier for a smoother and more supple feel.
Vitamin E provides antioxidant support, helping protect the skin from environmental stressors assisting in normalising and hydrating the skin. The gentle formulation reduces the chances of redness typically experienced with vitamin A use.
Serum 16 is the closest thing to prescription strength retinol without the prescription.
How to apply
How to apply
Apply a small amount to freshly cleansed skin 2-4 times weekly or as tolerated. For evening application only.
Apply moisturiser after application of Serum 16 if further hydration is required.
