VT Cosmetics Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1, 30ml

Product Description

VT Cosmetics Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1 is a high-performance, lightweight treatment engineered to bridge the gap between gentle skincare and professional anti-aging results. This essence features a potent 0.1% Reti-A Complex, headlined by Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR)—a next-generation, 99% pure retinol derivative that is highly stable and significantly less irritating than traditional retinoids. By combining this with Pure Retinol and Bakuchiol, the essence provides a triple-threat approach to shrinking enlarged pores, softening deep wrinkles, and restoring youthful elasticity.

To ensure the formula remains friendly to sensitive skin, it is buffered with VT’s signature CICAHYALON™—a blend of Centella Asiatica and three types of Hyaluronic Acid. This calming base provides a "moisture cushion" that mitigates the potential dryness or peeling often associated with Vitamin A. Additionally, the formula includes Ceramide NP and Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract to protect the skin barrier, while LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) and PHA (Gluconolactone) provide micro-exfoliation for a refined, glass-skin texture.

Key Benefits

Pore & Texture Refinement: Targets the structural causes of "sagging" pores, tightening the skin’s appearance and smoothing out rough patches.

Next-Gen Retinoid (HPR): Utilizes Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate to deliver the cell-renewing benefits of retinol with a much lower risk of irritation.

Triple Elasticity Boost: Retinol, Retinal, and Bakuchiol work in synergy with Adenosine to stimulate collagen production and firm the facial contours.

CICAHYALON™ Soothing: Provides immediate relief and deep hydration, making this active essence suitable for those who usually find retinol too harsh.

Micro-Exfoliating LHA/PHA: Gently dissolves dead skin cells on the surface to enhance the absorption of the Reti-A complex.

Barrier Protection: Infused with Ceramide NP and Allantoin to maintain a healthy oil-water balance and prevent trans-epidermal water loss.

How To Use

During your nighttime routine, apply a pea-sized amount evenly across the face.

If you are a first-time retinol user, start by using the essence 2–3 times a week to allow your skin to adjust.

Pro Tip: This essence has a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture—apply it after your toner but before a heavier cream to lock in the actives.

Crucial Precautions: Do not use on the same night as physical scrubs or high-strength Vitamin C/AHA/BHA products. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning, as retinol increases the skin's sensitivity to UV rays.
