Product Details
+Revitalize, tone and protect with Leahlani Aqua A Retinoid Renewing Serum. A powerful blend of skin actives and potent botanicals to bring youthful vitality into the skin. Aqua A is formulated with low-irritation HPR retinoids, which have been proven to be just as effective but non-sensitizing, to promote cellular turnover – smoothing fine lines and wrinkles while giving skin a glow from within. Aqua A is supported by plumping ceramides to help strengthen the skin barrier and boost elasticity while a potent cocktail of botanical antioxidants like superfood spirulina and green caviar oil help to firm, tone and protect.
Beauty Heroes featured Leahlani Aqua A as our February 2023 Hero product and our first to feature HPR retinoid, a gentle, stable, bioavailable form of vitamin A that works on contact to blur fine lines, slow wrinkle formation and boost the appearance of collagen and elastin while you sleep. Aqua A Retinoid Renewing Serum features hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR), a unique derivative of retinoic acid that directly binds to the retinoid receptors in our skin without the metabolic breakdown process that other forms of retinoid require. Simply put, this active gets to work immediately and effectively without causing irritation, inflammation and sensitivity often experienced with other retinoids.
Plumping ceramides and an amino acid-rich blend of spirulina and green caviar oil conditions and revitalizes the skin while decreasing signs of inflammation and photoaging. Finally, a cocktail of three marine superfoods give Aqua A its namesake color unique color: blue spirulina, blue tansy, and rainforest blue essential oil.
For uninterrupted complexion renewal, Aqua A is best used at night, during skin’s natural renewal cycle.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply an even layer to dry, freshly cleansed skin at night only. Wait 1-2 minutes and follow with your evening moisturizer if desired.
While Aqua A is formulated with low-irritation HPR retinoids, all retinol products may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun so don’t forget your daily SPF.
If you are new to Aqua A, start by applying every other night for the first few weeks to see how your skin acclimates before building up to daily use. Consistent use of Aqua A for 6-8 weeks is recommended to see results.
