Time Traveler Retinoid Serums

High-performance retinoid that smooths the skin by increasing collagen production

Designed for: Acne-prone skin, mature skin, preventative aging

Pro Tip: Apply after 5/10 mins after a shower. If dryness occurs, back down to every other night or 3 times a week. Use with Vesi hydrating serum and moisturizer. 

This high-performance retinoid is the star of the show. It helps to reduce the formation of comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) and improves hyperpigmentation. Retinyl Proprionate also reduces skin cell degradation, increases cell metabolism, and smooths the skin by increasing collagen production. Retinoids are one of the few topical products that have the ability to reverse skin damage.

How to Use

• Introduce 1 to 2 times a week the first week.
• Slowly increase usage according to the skin's tolerability.
• For sensitive skin, mix the Time Traveler with Dreamsicle in a 1:1 ratio before applying it to the skin.

Contraindications:

• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding (clients need to check with their physician)

Key Ingredients

• Lactic Acid: Fade signs of discoloration. Helps hasten the fading of pink-to-red post-breakout marks. Also an antioxidant. Strongly influences skin’s microbiome
• Retinyl propionate: Shown to be less likely to irritate skin than pure retinol.
• Pentapeptide-18: Considered a neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptide (“neuropeptide”). Most famously studied for its ability to visibly minimize expression lines and wrinkle depth. Also noted in research for its ability to hydrate skin and improve firmness. May also have the potential to reduce skin discolorations
• Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: also known as Argireline, is a topical, short-acting, synthetic peptide for its antiwrinkle effects
• Kojic acid: helps prevent your skin from forming tyrosinase, which is an enzyme that helps create skin pigment (melanin).
• Niacinamide: Can’t have retinoid without niacinamide. It can help your skin appear smoother, softer, and more radiant
