What's the difference between this retinoid and conventional retinol?

Retinoids, derivatives of vitamin A, are known for their effectiveness on wrinkles and skin firmness. However, not all forms are equal in terms of tolerance and stability. Retinol requires two conversions before becoming active, often causing irritation in sensitive skin. In contrast, the retinoid form used in this serum binds directly to retinoic acid receptors without conversion, allowing for more targeted action and reducing the risk of sensitisation. This retinoid form is a milder yet equally effective alternative.

Can retinoids make the skin feel as dry as retinol? Is it advisable to add moisturizing to our routine?

Mild retinoids reduce the risk of irritation typically associated with traditional retinol. A moisturising eye cream can be applied if dryness occurs. If discomfort is experienced, it is advisable to space out applications.

Are any Typology products incompatible with the serum?

It is not recommended to layer this serum with chemical exfoliants (such as AHAs like glycolic acid, mandelic acid) or other retinoids (such as retinol, retinol esters).

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?

While not specifically formulated for sensitive skin, this serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive ones.

Can the serum reduce deep wrinkles?

Yes, the serum visibly smooths wrinkles around the eyes within 4 weeks.

Is this product not recommended for pregnant women?

As a precautionary measure, the use of retinoids is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

At what age can I start using the product?

This serum is suitable for all adults concerned with wrinkles around the eyes, regardless of age.

Can I use the serum every day?

Yes, the serum is formulated for daily evening application. If discomfort occurs, applications can be spaced out.

Eye Serum for fine lines and wrinkles - 0.1% Encapsulated retinoids + Hyaluronic acid

DIRECTIONS

WRINKLES & FINE LINES

The eye contour is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Retinoids are gold-standard actives for addressing this concern; however, some may be poorly tolerated by this particularly sensitive area.

Unlike other retinoids, this gentle retinoid does not require conversion before taking effect : it binds directly to its receptors in the skin, allowing for a more targeted action with better tolerance.

Main active ingredients
Gentle Retinoids 0.1%
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a gentle retinoid that offers an effective and well-tolerated alternative to traditional retinoids. Unlike retinol, it acts directly on RAR receptors without requiring enzymatic conversion — a unique feature that enhances its efficacy. Ten times more stable than retinol, it retains its activity longer while minimizing the risk of irritation. Combined with a penetration booster, it reaches the deeper layers of the epidermis, where it activates RAR receptors to stimulate cell renewal. Skin regenerates more quickly, and wrinkles around the eyes are visibly smoothed.
Hyaluronic Acid
Capable of attracting and retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid delivers long-lasting hydration to the skin. The low molecular weight version used in this formula allows it to penetrate deeper into the epidermis to smooth dehydration fine lines and plump the skin. Its moisturizing action also improves the suppleness and elasticity of the eye contour.
Niacinamide
Known for its soothing and protective properties, niacinamide works in synergy with retinoids to improve skin tolerance. It also strengthens the skin’s hydrolipidic barrier, helping to prevent moisture loss and maintain optimal hydration levels.
