Nadine Dilong It’s time to take your retinol to the next level. Synergie Skin proudly introduces their latest addition to the vitamin A family: RetiFol. The name is a combination of retinol and exfoliation, and that’s exactly what the RetiFol serum delivers. It’s a game-changing formula that pairs the dual benefits of a 0.4% retinol serum with non-acidic resurfacing peptides. These ingredients combine to amplify the brightening, clarifying and skin-rejuvenating benefits within a single, elegant formulation.
What’s so special about this formula?
RetiFol’s ‘Release on Demand’ technology keeps the retinol molecules active and protected for maximum shelf life and stability. The active retinol releases from its protective cellulose capsule upon massaging the serum into the skin, breaking down the outer capsule for a controlled and continuous delivery of retinol to the target cells.
This exceptional 2-in-1 serum is further enhanced with gentle resurfacing peptides. That’s right, unlike other serums on the market, RetiFol is non-acidic and uses peptide exfoliation to gently dissolve the protein bonds between the skin’s surface cells, to enable the skin to gently shed for a smoother, clearer, and more youthful skin.
From a chemistry perspective, retinol doesn’t typically pair well with popular exfoliants (such as BHA’s or AHA’s) because their acidic nature renders this type of vitamin A ineffective. This what makes RetiFol’s formula such a unique synergistic powerhouse; with its ability to accelerate the cell shedding process whilst simultaneously delivering all the staple benefits of vitamin A.
Who is RetiFol designed for?
RetiFol is a great step up from the Synergie Skin entry level retinoid serum, Ultimate A. In fact, it’s designed for anyone already using a Vitamin A serum who’s ready for a little more potency. Because RetiFol goes further than your average retinol by simultaneously exfoliating the skin, this advanced formula is ideal for those with acne, pigmentation, and even sun damage concerns.
A message from our founder
“Making a combined vitamin A and exfoliation product has always been a massive challenge in the skincare industry, since retinol is so easily neutralised by acidic exfoliants such as BHA’s (i.e. salicylic acid) or AHA’s (i.e. glycolic acid/lactic acid). This is why I’ve formulated RetiFol with a non-acidic exfoliating peptide. Not only does this special peptide technology allow customers to enjoy a vast multitude of skin rejuvenating benefits in a single product, its non-acidic nature is also more easily tolerated by sensitive skin types. Now that’s what I call chemistry elegance!”
