The ANUA Nano Retinol 0.3% Niacin Renewing Serum boasts an expertly crafted formula containing 5% niacinamide, 0.11% retinol, adenosine, and 8 types of peptides to effectively brighten, smooth fine lines, and enhance skin's fullness. As if that wasn't impressive enough, the serum also features a plethora of antioxidants and calming ingredients, such as cica, vitamin E, and oat extract. This serum is highly recommended for those with acne-prone skin and acne scars, thanks to the inclusion of niacinamide, tea-tree leaf, and oat extracts.
DIRECTIONS
After cleansing and using a low pH toner in the evening, gently pat on skin and follow with moisturizer. Start slow with retinol (or niacinamide above 2%) - once a week, then increase to twice a week and up to 3-4x if skin tolerates. Remember to use SPF during the day.
