Vitamin A Corrective Serum
Face Reality Vitamin A Corrective Serum is a high-performance exfoliating serum formulated with micro-encapsulated retinaldehyde, one of the most effective yet least irritating forms of Vitamin A. This controlled-release technology allows the skin to receive powerful corrective benefits while minimizing dryness and sensitivity.
Designed as an ideal entry point into Vitamin A, this serum supports acne prevention, improves texture, reduces inflammation, and helps fade post-acne marks without overwhelming the skin barrier.
Key Ingredients
Retinaldehyde (Vitamin A)
A potent cell-communicating ingredient that supports healthy cell turnover, helps prevent clogged pores, improves texture, and targets post-acne pigmentation with less irritation than traditional retinoids.
Niacinamide
Multi-tasking powerhouse that helps regulate oil production, calm inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve uneven tone.
Glycolic Acid
A gentle exfoliant that enhances skin renewal, smooths texture, and improves overall clarity.
Antioxidant Complex (Rosmarinyl Glucoside, Caffeyl Glucoside, Gallyl Glucoside)
Protects against oxidative stress, supports skin repair, and helps reduce inflammation.
Glycerin
A natural moisturizing factor that draws hydration into the skin to help counteract dryness commonly associated with retinoid use.
Honeysuckle Flower Extract
Soothes irritation and helps calm reactive skin during the adjustment phase.
