The unique pre-retinol complex is a gentle alternative for retinol

LUMENE’s unique pre-retinol complex is a plant-based option for retinol, made from Nordic berries. It helps diminish signs of aging and is gentle to skin. The gentle retinol precursor is developed using handpicked organic sea buckthorn berries and nordic cloudberries, and it helps the skin maintain its youthful appearance.

A new way to diminish signs of aging – try gentle pre-retinol

The unique pre-retinol complex is infused with handpicked organic sea buckthorn berries and wild nordic cloudberries. The ingredients of the complex can be found in the ingredient list by the names Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Oil, Rubus Chamaemorus (Cloudberry) Seed Oil.

Both sea buckthorn oil and cloudberry seed oil are rich in beta-carotene. LUMENE’s pre-retinol complex contains beta-carotene three times more than carrots. Studies show that on human epidermis beta-carotene is transformed to retinyl ester, which has a retinol-like effect on the skin.

Vitamin A is an active ingredient, which has long been used in skin care. It has different forms such as retinol, retinoic acid, retinyl palmitate and retinyl ester. Retinol, its potent form, helps boost skin’s collagen production strengthening the skin and diminishing signs of aging. It helps also reduce skin pores, balance production of sebum and lighten pigmentation patches. Retinol may not suit everyone as it can sometimes irritate the skin.

Gentle, plant-based retinol-like ingredients have in the recent years been a huge trend in the skincare industry. LUMENE's unique, plant-based pre-retinol is an answer to the trend. The gentle product made using nordic berries is a vegan alternative for synthetic retinol.

In short, this is how the pre-retinol complex works on your skin:

Helps diminish wrinkles. The pre-retinol complex helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.
Helps even out skin texture and enhance skin tone. Like retinol, the pre-retinol complex can help enhance the structure of the skin making it more even when used regularly.
