APLB – Retinol Vitamin C Vitamin E Facial Cream

Description

The APLB Retinol Vitamin C Vitamin E Facial Cream is an intensive skin-renewal treatment designed to address the complex needs of aging and sun-damaged skin. By integrating Retinol with Ascorbic Acid (Pure Vitamin C), this cream targets two primary concerns simultaneously: the loss of structural firmness and the accumulation of surface pigmentation. This combination encourages faster cellular turnover, helping to lift away dull, discolored skin cells while signaling the deeper layers to produce fresh collagen, resulting in a tighter and more refined skin texture.

To support this active renewal process, the formula is fortified with Vitamin E, a lipid-soluble antioxidant that nourishes the skin barrier and protects against environmental oxidative stress. Recognizing that high-potency vitamins can sometimes lead to dryness, APLB has infused the cream with a soothing base of Centella Asiatica (Cica). Cica works to boost the skin’s internal hyaluronic acid levels, providing an anti-inflammatory cushion that prevents the irritation or “purging” often associated with retinoid use.

The cream features a sophisticated, nourishing texture that provides deep hydration without a heavy feel. It acts as a comprehensive “overnight reset,” working while the skin is in its peak repair mode to diminish fine lines, regulate sebum production, and restore a luminous, youthful glow. It is an ideal solution for those looking to combine their brightening and anti-aging steps into one efficient, comforting moisturizer.

How to use:

1. Apply as the final step of your evening skincare routine, after your toner and ampoule.
2. Take an appropriate amount and massage evenly over the face and neck using upward strokes.
3. PM Preferred: Due to the inclusion of Retinol and Vitamin C, this cream is most effective when used at night to avoid UV degradation of the active ingredients.
4. Acclimatization: If you are new to Retinol, use this cream every 2–3 nights initially, gradually moving to nightly use as your skin adapts.
5. Mandatory Sun Protection: Retinol increases skin sensitivity to the sun. You must apply an SPF 30 or higher the following morning to protect the skin and prevent further pigmentation.
6. The Complete Routine: For the best results, layer this over the APLB Retinol Vitamin C Vitamin E Ampoule Serum to maximize the concentration of restorative vitamins.
