Why use encapsulated retinol?

The NIP + FAB formula now contains a slow-release complex with encapsulated pure retinol instead of a blend of retinyl palmitate and retinol (which comprised the NIP + FAB old formula). Encapsulated pure retinol converts to retinoic acid (the most active form of retinol) quickly and is less irritating than other forms. We use three encapsulation techniques to ensure the range is suitable for everyone, for layering in a routine and to minimise the chance of irritation. The formula is also balanced with other skin-boosting ingredients like peptides, ceramides and hyaluronic acid.

How it works:

3% time-release complex: Containing 0.3% encapsulated pure retinol, ensuring effective skin penetration and stable delivery of retinol due to lipophilic (oil-loving) nature

Bakuchiol: A naturally occurring alternative to retinol that promises similar results. Added to ensure a synergistic complex that encourages cell turnover further.

Matrixyl: Targets fine lines and works in conjunction with the retinol complex and bakuchiol to deliver a renewed complexion.

Ceramides: Known to enhance skin moisture and smooth skin.
