Why we stand behind it
African Botanics Retinal Night Cream is a multi-tasking night treatment that utilizes regenerative active ingredients to help repair skin damage and boost density while helping to increase moisture and elasticity. This face cream is powered by retinaldehyde, a bio-active form of vitamin A that gradually and effectively converts to retinoic acid within the skin in one step. Retinaldehyde is known to be less irritating when compared to other retinoids. It has strong antioxidant and antibacterial properties, and helps to boost and protect collagen while working to increase cell turnover. Additionally, this moisturizing cream is formulated with white willow bark, lactic acid, azelaic acid and fulvid acid to help minimize the appearance of pores and improve the appearance of scarring and sun spots. Retinal Night Cream targets fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, pigmentation and uneven texture for healthy, smooth and visibly youthful skin.
