This new Algenist serum, the Green Microalgae Retinol + Regenerating Serum, is a high-performance skincare product that targets deep lines and wrinkles without causing irritation or sensitivity.
While retinol is a popular skincare ingredient known for its anti-aging and acne-fighting benefits, many consumers are hesitant to use it due to its potential side effects. As a result, consumers are seeking ingredients that provide similar benefits to retinol without the potential side effects. In the case of this formula, Algenist “derived a plant-based retinoid-like ingredient from Fermented Green Microalgae that works effectively, yet gently, in combination with vegan retinol.”
Although retinol can be combined with chemical exfoliants, the potency of this combination can sometimes cause a chemical burn. However, Algenist’s Green Microalgae Retinol + Regenerating Serum offers a comfortable blend of AHA, BHA and PHAs, and a reimagined experience of retinol that’s more approachable.
