What is retinol?

Dr. Sylvie Peres: Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A, a vitamin naturally present in the body.
For me, the most effective form of anti-wrinkle or acne treatment is retinoic acid , another derivative of vitamin A, available only by prescription because it is contraindicated during pregnancy. For several years, I prescribed a magistral preparation composed of retinoic acid to treat acne lesions but also for its anti-aging action.

Have you found a natural and effective alternative to retinol?

When I developed the formula for the Anti-Blemish Solution, I selected a complex of flower acids, fruit acids, and celandine extract for a retinoid-like effect, a natural and effective alternative to retinol. These advanced natural active ingredients are very interesting for cell renewal and the stimulation of elastic tissue, both for anti-aging and anti-blemish action.

Greater Celandine Extract: Fights the appearance of blackheads
Zinc: Purifying, soothing
Flower acids: Keratolytic action, peeling effect
Licorice: Anti-inflammatory action
Probiotic: Rebalances the microbiota
Juniper Berry and Palm Extract: Regulates sebum, tightens pores

What are its benefits for the skin?

Due to its exfoliating action, the acid Retinoic acid will eliminate dead skin, slow excess sebum and accelerate cell renewal. Features are smoothed, pores tightened and the complexion brighter.

How to integrate it into your ritual?

Dr. Sylvie Peres: I recommend applying the anti-blemish solution in the evening to the affected area(s), after cleansing and drying. Leave it on overnight and rinse off in the morning. The solution will deeply restructure the skin, smooth pores, and reduce young scars. Its smoothing action will be very beneficial for improving skin radiance and evening out skin tone by smoothing out fine lines.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Free from endocrine disruptors and essential oils, the anti-blemish solution is perfectly suited to the routine of expectant and new mothers.
