Behind the Product

DR. EMI ARPA SKIN Retinal Serum DR. EMI ARPA SKIN Retinal Serum

PREBIOTICS

The prebiotics ALPHA-GLUCAN OLIGOSACCHARIDE and INULIN serve as a food source for bacteria and together can support the commensal skin flora and strengthen the skin barrier by inhibiting the growth of unwanted bacteria on the skin. Together they can alleviate skin symptoms such as dryness and itching.

POSTBIOTICS

The postbiotic BIFIDA FERMENT LYSATE improves skin redness and strengthens the skin barrier by increasing the formation of proteins that serve to stabilize the cell structures in the skin. LACTOCOCCUS FERMENT LYSATE promotes skin renewal and accelerates the restoration of the skin barrier. It can improve the function of the skin barrier, optimize skin hydration and regulate the skin's pH, which can allow the skin's lipid-forming enzymes to work close to their pH optimum.

0.1 % RETINAL

Retinal requires only one conversion to the active form of vitamin A and is therefore considered the most effective over-the-counter retinoid. It can reduce signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, promote skin elasticity, help improve skin texture and increase epidermal thickness. In addition, retinal also has the ability to unclog pores and reduce bacteria that can cause acne.

5 PEPTIDE

Peptides are considered promising active ingredients in the field of well ageing, as they can improve skin structure, reduce wrinkles and moisturize. The 5-peptide complex combines various peptides that promote collagen and elastin formation, have an antioxidant effect and can have smoothing effects similar to Botox.

CERAMIDE

Ceramides are an essential component of a healthy skin barrier. They play a crucial role in the skin's ability to retain water and prevent excessive transepidermal water loss.

ECTOIN

Ectoin belongs to the group of extremolytes - small molecules that protect microorganisms from environmental influences in extreme environments such as salt lakes or deserts. As a natural cell protection active ingredient, ectoine protects the skin from environmental influences, supports its regeneration and helps to reduce moisture loss in the long term.

ALLANTOIN

Allantoin is known for its soothing and regenerative properties. It supports skin regeneration and can reduce redness. At the same time, allantoin is able to reduce transepidermal water loss.

FAQ

The basic routine we recommend is as follows: Cleanse, Prepare, TREAT, Moisturize. Absolute A is from the TREAT category. To minimize skin irritation, the retinal sandwich method can be used: To do this, after cleansing with the Ten out of Ten Cleanser, apply the Barrier Boost Cream, then the Absolute A/ A+ Serum and finally a thin layer of Barrier Boost CPA Barrier Repair Cream.

No, it is not recommended to use products containing retinoids during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The use of products containing retinoids can be problematic during this time, as excessive amounts of vitamin A can be harmful to the unborn child or breastfed baby.

If you have already had experience with retinoids (e.g. retinol/retinal) and use them regularly without irritation, Absolute A+ is the right serum for you. Important to note: 0.1% retinal corresponds approximately to the effect of 1% retinol, so it is best to start with a low application frequency!

In our formulation, we have placed particular emphasis on minimizing the irritation potential of the retinal by adding soothing and nourishing ingredients such as 10% pre- and postbiotics, ceramides, 5 different peptides and ectoin. These ingredients are carefully selected to strengthen the skin barrier and improve the retinal's tolerance.

However, if undesirable reactions such as dryness or skin irritation occur, the frequency of application of the product can be reduced. For example, you can consider applying the product only every second or third evening. This allows the skin to gradually become accustomed to the product and minimizes the risk of irritation.

We recommend using the products in the Absolute A series alternately with chemical peels and not on the same evening. Ideally, you should use the chemical peel in the evening before the retinal and take a break from the active ingredients on the following days.

Regular use of the product is most important for the effect. The frequency can be increased carefully and slowly, depending on how accustomed the skin is, from once a week to daily use.

Yes, vitamin C and vitamin A can be combined in skin care. For example, a vitamin C product can be applied under sun protection in the morning and vitamin A in the evening. Here too, it is important to pay attention to how your skin feels and the concentration used in each case, as vitamin C, e.g. in the form of ascorbic acid, can also have an irritating effect. Don't forget: sun protection (ideally SPF 50) during the day is mandatory when using vitamin C and vitamin A.

Absolute A serums can also be used in summer. It is particularly important to ensure adequate sun protection (ideally at least SPF 50) during the day. If necessary, the frequency of application can be reduced in summer (1-2x per week). In any case, our Absolute A+ Retinal Serum should only be used in the evening.
