This night cream helps restore the lost collagen structure in all layers of the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Skin texture improves and skin becomes less transparent. Helps restore the harmful effects of the sun and reduces the appearance of visible wrinkles. Reduces the skin's oil production. Retinol effectively reduces blemishes – and is also suitable for younger skin.
This cream contains:
Squalane, a powerhouse moisturizer and natural antioxidant used in skincare, has proven to be effective in reducing wrinkles, improving the appearance of scars, making UV damage, freckles and pigmentation less visible, while boosting moisture levels, maintaining healthy skin and fighting free radical damage.
This cream also contains effective plant extracts that have a calming effect.
Tocopheryl acetate, a derivative of vitamin E, is an antioxidant that protects against free radicals.
Rich in natural fatty acids that deliver intense moisture, nourishment, and protection to the skin. Shea butter is rich in fatty acids and vitamins that help soften, replenish and soothe dry and irritated skin, while macadamia oil contains omega-7 fatty acids that penetrate deep into the skin, strengthening its barrier and leaving it feeling silky smooth.
Sodium Hyaluronate, which provides intensive hydration by attracting and retaining water in the skin, helps to improve skin elasticity, plumpness, and smoothness, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Copper tripeptide-1, a peptide that tightens the skin and reduces visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines
Acetyl hexapeptide-8, known as argireline peptide, popular for its anti-wrinkle effect.
Suitable for both women and men.
We recommend that you use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least SPF 15.

It takes three to six months of consistent use to see visible improvement in wrinkles, with optimal results typically achieved after six to twelve months.
