Skin Care Collection Night Cream

Our Skin Care Collection is designed as an advanced skin renewal program to support cell regeneration, replenish moisture and help diminish the signs of aging. One of the key components of this program is our Night Cream.

Retinyl palmitate (1.0%)

This formula contains retinyl palmitate (1.0%), which is a form of vitamin A (retinol), an important vitamin for the skin with many benefits.¹ Once applied, retinol is transformed into retinoic acid, the bioactive ingredient that binds with skin-cell receptors to support the production of plump new skin cells for brighter-looking skin.^2,3  

Healthy production of collagen

Retinoic acid also encourages the healthy production of collagen and inhibits enzymes to support skin elasticity, thickness and firmness, and help promote healthy, soft, smooth skin.^4-6 Further, retinoic acid evens out pigmentation to improve facial appearance.⁷ It also supports a healthy inflammatory response in your skin and helps protect it from the effects of oxidative stress.^8-11

Rice bran ceramides

Our formula is enhanced with rice bran ceramides (0.5%), lipid molecules that occur naturally in your skin to help retain healthy moisture and relieve discomfort for youthful, vibrant skin.^12,13

Melatonin

Another important component of this formula is melatonin, which studies have shown supports photo-protection and DNA function, protects against oxidative stress and contributes to skin rejuvenation. This youth-promoting lotion is designed to help your skin retain a soft, smooth look and feel.^14-16
