Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

I also saw first results after the first 4 weeks! Even my friends commented my skin looks more youthful and I can see the fine lines fading! Now after 3 months I no Show more
This is my first retinol. I’m 29 and late to the game. But now is better than never haha. I don’t have anything to compare this too. But what I like about it is there is no burning, doesn’t dry my face out. The “purge” isn’t bad for me, just a few white heads that are very small. To me it also have a very light cinnamon smell. Also a little goes a very long way. So you really don’t have to use the Show more
