Youth Boost Serum
Retinol is one of the MOST essential ingredients for your skin! Retinol increases skin cell production and helps unclog pores. It also exfoliates your skin and increases collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a fresher, plump appearance
-Nourishes aging skin
-Helps maintain a youthful glow
.5% Retinol increases cell regeneration, unclogs pores, brightens hyperpigmentation, softens scarring, exfoliates, improves acne, and stimulates collagen and elastin.
.5% Bakuchiol helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, and allows for a brighter complexion.
Hexapeptide-11 has been known for its b o t o x like abilities, with a topical benefit, rather than needing injected.
Directions: Best used at night, after cleansing and toning. Do not put a moisturizer over top as this will prevent the skin cells from being able to slough off properly. If you feel the need to apply something over top of the Retinol, use something thin like a bakuchiol oil or our NoFilter Oil. If you apply a thick moisturizer/cream you will essentially be gluing down the cells the retinol is pushing up.
Usage: Start slow! Your skin needs to acclimate to using this active ingredient.

-Start by using a dime size amount (about 1 pump) every 3rd night in your routine (So 2x/wk max).
-After 2 weeks you can increase to every other night if tolerable for your skin. More sensitive skin types may not tolerate more than 2xs/wk. You can then maintain this every other night for the remainder of your routine.
If your skin tolerates Retinol well, you may be able to incorporate it nightly. As long as you aren’t over using it and drying your skin out! I personally like 4-5 nights in a row with a couple nights of rest, but it took a few months of using every other night to get me there.
