Encapsulated Retinol is a form of vitamin A that is wrapped in a protective "capsule," in this case, olive polyphenols. This allows for a slow and controlled release of retinol into the skin, maximizing its effectiveness while minimizing the irritation often associated with traditional retinol. It is ideal for all skin types, including sensitive ones, that want to introduce this powerful anti-aging active ingredient.
Retinol is a powerful active ingredient, so it's crucial to introduce it gradually into your routine. If you're a beginner, we recommend starting by using it two or three nights a week. As your skin gets used to it (which can take several weeks), you can increase the frequency to every other night and, eventually, to every night, always monitoring your skin's tolerance.

Make sure to hydrate your skin well.
