Encapsulated 0.5% Retinol Cream

✨ Key Benefits
• Revitalizes skin texture and tone for a luminous, radiant complexion
• Encapsulated retinol technology delivers optimal potency with enhanced stability
• Gently reduces dead skin buildup for a smoother, more refined appearance
• Targets visible signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture
• Helps lock in moisture to minimize dryness, irritation, and sensitivity

✨ What It Is
NourishMax Retinol Cream is an advanced age-defying treatment formulated with 0.5% encapsulated retinol for controlled, sustained release. Encapsulating retinol within a phospholipid layer enhances stability and improves delivery, ensuring the ingredient reaches the skin effectively and comfortably. This velvety cream helps renew the skin’s appearance, refine uneven texture and tone, and visibly soften expression lines and wrinkles.

The formula offers a two-tier approach:
Targeted Renewal: Each retinol molecule is individually encapsulated to protect its potency and convert into retinoic acid upon absorption.
Advanced Hydration: A balanced blend of humectants, emollients, and barrier-supporting lipids keeps the skin hydrated, supple, and comfortable as retinol works overnight.

✨ How It Works
Encapsulated Retinol Delivery
Retinol is housed inside a phospholipid shell that protects the ingredient from degradation and allows for gradual, targeted release. Once absorbed, retinol converts into retinoic acid the active form of vitamin A responsible for encouraging cell turnover, smoothing fine lines, and promoting a brighter, more youthful complexion.

Multi-Level Hydration System
The cream features a multi-level hydration system designed to counter the dryness often associated with retinol by combining glycerin to draw in deep, continuous moisture, squalane for lightweight, skin-identical replenishment, jojoba and safflower seed oils to nourish, soften, and condition, and ceramide-3 to strengthen the moisture barrier and reduce moisture loss.

Together, they create a long-lasting hydration matrix that supports smoother, calmer, and more resilient skin.

✨ Why It’s Special
Vitamin A exists in several forms, each requiring conversion to retinoic acid before it can improve the skin. These forms range from mildest to most potent:
• Retinyl Esters
• Retinol
• Retinaldehyde
• Retinoic Acid

This formula strategically uses retinol and retinyl palmitate a combination that provides meaningful results while maintaining skin comfort. It supports natural exfoliation, refines texture, improves clarity, and promotes a more youthful appearance without excessive irritation.

✨ What’s In It
Retinol & Retinyl Palmitate: Vitamin A derivatives that convert into retinoic acid to smooth, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin.
Jojoba Seed Oil: Lightweight emollient rich in fatty acids that soften and condition.
Squalane: Olive-derived hydrator that mimics natural skin lipids.
Safflower Seed Oil: Nourishing botanical with moisturizing benefits.
Glycerin: Plant-based humectant that increases hydration and skin softness.
Hydrolyzed Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride): Enhances softness with a lightweight conditioning feel.
Ceramide-3: Key lipid essential for a strong moisture barrier and improved skin resilience.

✨ How to Apply
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area. Begin by using 1–2 times per week, gradually increasing frequency as the skin builds tolerance. Follow with moisturizer if needed. Always use SPF during daytime when incorporating retinol into your routine.
