Benefits of Men’s Night Cream
Key Players
Encapsulated Retinol
Encapsulated retinol delivers retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, in a stabilized form that ensures better penetration into the skin and reduced irritation. Retinol promotes cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The encapsulation technology protects retinol from degradation and allows for a slow, sustained release, enhancing its efficacy and minimizing potential irritation.
Granactive Retinoid
Granactive retinoid is a next-generation retinoid that offers similar benefits to traditional retinol but with less irritation. It improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and stimulates collagen production, making it effective for anti-aging. It's gentler on the skin, making it suitable for those who find traditional retinoids too harsh.
Retinyl Palmitate
Retinyl palmitate is a milder retinoid ester that is converted into retinol in the skin. It helps promote cell turnover and collagen synthesis, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is less irritating than retinol, making it a good option for sensitive skin or those new to retinoids.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vit C)
This is a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C that penetrates the skin effectively. It helps stimulate collagen production, providing firming and anti-aging benefits. Additionally, it brightens the skin and provides antioxidant protection against free radical damage, which can contribute to aging.
Ubiquinol (Q10)
It helps protect the skin from oxidative stress, supports cellular energy production, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness.
Collagen Tripeptide
Collagen tripeptides are small fragments of collagen that can be more easily absorbed by the skin. They help support the skin's natural collagen structure, improving elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They enhance skin hydration and firmness.
Ceramide NP
Ceramide NP is a type of ceramide that is identical to those found naturally in the skin. It helps restore the skin barrier, retaining moisture and protecting against environmental damage. By maintaining skin hydration and barrier function, ceramides help reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin smoothness and elasticity.
Licorice Root Powder
Licorice root powder contains glabridin and other active compounds that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps brighten the skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, and protect against environmental damage. Its soothing properties can also reduce irritation, which can be beneficial for maintaining a youthful appearance.
SKIN TYPES
This moisturizer is suitable for all skin types, dry, oily, normal and combination.
HOW TO DO A PATCH TEST
Performing a patch test is a crucial step when introducing a new skincare product to your routine, as it can help you to determine whether the product is safe for your skin and whether you may have an adverse reaction to it. Here are the steps for performing a patch test:
- Choose a small area of skin on your inner forearm or behind your ear that is easily accessible and not visible.
- Apply a small amount of the product to the area and spread it evenly.
- Wait for at least 24-48 hours and observe the area for any signs of redness, itching, swelling, or irritation. If you have a reaction, remove the product immediately and rinse the area with cool water.
- If you do not experience any adverse reactions after 24-48 hours, it is likely safe to use the product on your face.
HOW TO USE
- Use this product at night only.
- Cleanser your skin with our Men’s Face Wash
- Start with a small amount, applying every third night.
- Massage until absorbed, and if necessary, apply moisturizer afterwards.
- Increase frequency slowly based on your skin’s response.
- Some skin types may only tolerate retinol twice or three times a week, which is normal.
- Even if you build tolerance to daily use, it is recommended to give your skin a break from the product at least once a week.
- If you experience redness, irritation, or excessive dryness, scale back on usage.
Sensitive skin: For individuals with sensitive skin, it’s crucial to introduce new products gradually to avoid potential irritation, especially when using them overnight. Begin by performing a patch test on a small area of skin before applying the moisturizer to your entire face. If no adverse reactions occur after 24 hours, you can start using the product.
To build tolerance for overnight use, start by applying a small amount of moisturizer to your face before bed and leaving it on for a short period initially, such as 30 minutes to an hour. Gradually increase the duration of overnight application over several nights as your skin becomes accustomed to the formula. If you experience any discomfort or irritation, reduce the duration of application or discontinue use temporarily until your skin adjusts.
This gradual approach allows your skin to acclimate to the potent anti-aging ingredients without causing discomfort or inflammation.
