Retinol affects protective layer
Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A. Retinoic acid is the active form of vitamin A. This vitamin stimulates basal cell skin growth which affects the growth of epidermal skin cells.
For those that have looked for the fountain of youth and have found Retinol, you may be trading away skin health.
But, there is a failure in the process. The new cells which were produced abnormally fast do not have the components to protect the skin, a function of the epidermal cell. Protection that normally prevents UV and other environmental damage.
The more Retinol you use, the less protective your skin becomes.
NOW, Beautycounter has developed a plant based age-reversing product line that is not Retinol based. It does not contain vitamin A. It does not hurt the protective layer.
This is Countertime™, a product that is safer, yet, with the power of the more dangerous cosmetic products.
The ingredients
“Beautycounter’s plant-derived Retinatural Complex, featuring bakuchiol and Swiss Alpine rose, delivers retinol-like results without retinol’s safety concerns.
Gamze Sauzeat, Lead Chemist

Repairs

This comes from the psoralea corylifolia seeds and leaves.
SWISS ALPINE ROSE
