Encapsulated retinol is a version of retinol that envelops the ingredient in a protective, multi-layer liquid crystalline microsphere. When applied to skin, its moisturising outer-coating time-releases the active Retinol, which penetrates deep into the skin to deliver superior results, while mitigating potential side effects.
It also creates an invisible protective shield on the skin’s surface, which helps reduce moisture loss.
Ethan Thomas Collection is the first in the Beauty Industry to use this revolutionary active ingredient with retinol encapsulated into natural wax-based capsules that enables high retinol use levels, improves skin bioavailability and enhances stability over 3 months.
Directions for use
To be used in the evening on its own or under cream. Avoid exposure to UV and use sunscreen as retinol use may increase sensitivity to sunlight. Please note that there may be some redness or irritation on initial use.
It is advised that retinol products should not be used by pregnant women.
