The 0.7% strength is a high concentration recommended for those who are already accustomed to using retinol products.

Benefits

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR): A stable form of vitamin A, this ingredient is included at a 0.7% concentration to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. According to Lila Beauty, the formula uses HPR with 99% pure retinol.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: Also known as Argireline, this peptide helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Refined skin texture: The formula works to accelerate skin renewal, promoting a smoother and more even texture.

Pore tightening: The retinol complex works to tighten pores and firm up saggy skin.

Sebum control: Other ingredients, such as LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid), help to gently cleanse pores and control sebum production.

Overall resurfacing: This essence is designed to refine the skin’s surface and address textural concerns for a fresher, clearer look.

Who is this product for?

The VT Cosmetics Cica Reti-A Essence 0.7 is best suited for individuals who:

Are experienced with retinol: The 0.7% concentration is a higher-strength formula intended for those who have previously tolerated moderate retinoid-based products.

Want intensive care: This essence is designed for those with more pronounced textural concerns, visible wrinkles, and persistent skin dullness.

Desire both potent and balanced treatment: It is a good option for people who want the stronger effects of a higher-concentration retinol but with ingredients that help minimize potential irritation.

How to use:

After washing your face, at the essence stage, take a pea-sized amount and gently spread it over the entire face and let it fully absorb.

General precautions

Irritation may occur, especially during the initial “retinization” period when skin adjusts. If irritation persists, reduce frequency of use or discontinue.

Patch test on a small area of your skin before applying it to your face to check for any allergic reactions or sensitivity.

Skin conditions: Do not apply the essence on compromised skin, such as skin with scars, eczema, or dermatitis.

External use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.

Storage: Keep the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children. Use promptly after opening.
