PRODUCT DETAILS

CICA RETI-A Essence 0.5%

Product Overview

The CICA RETI-A Essence 0.5% is a high-content skincare essence designed to deliver dual benefits: whitening and wrinkle improvement. With its advanced formula, this essence is suitable for those who have adapted to retinol products and seek enhanced skin texture and elasticity.

Key Benefits

  • Dual Functionality: Provides both whitening and wrinkle improvement, making it a versatile addition to your skincare routine.
  • High Retinol Content: Formulated with a potent concentration of 12,000 IU/g, ideal for improving skin texture, especially around the eyes where elasticity is often lost.
  • Enhanced Skin Adaptation: Perfect for skin that no longer responds to other functional products, helping to visibly improve skin texture and condition.
  • CICA Soothing Synergy: Incorporates VT’s exclusive CICAHYALON™ technology, combining Cica’s soothing properties with triple hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and skin comfort.

Product Features

  • RETI-A Skin Tension UP: Offers targeted pore care with a high content of RETI-A (0.3%/0.5%/0.7%), boosting skin tension and elasticity.
  • CICA Skin Peace UP: Provides a calming effect, leaving the skin feeling truly comfortable and soothed.
  • High-Purity Retinol Stability: Utilizes 99% pure retinol in a 4th generation retinol complex, ensuring maximum effectiveness with minimal irritation.
  • Synergistic Ingredients:
    • Bakuchiol: Plant-based retinol alternative for enhanced pore care.
    • Vitamin C: Brightens and evens skin tone.
    • Acetylhexapeptide-8: Improves skin condition and strengthens the barrier.
    • Ceramide and Cholesterol: Fortify the skin barrier and provide lasting moisture.

Retinol Use Guidelines

  • For Beginners:
    • Start with a grain-sized amount in the evening after cleansing. If no irritation occurs after 2-3 weeks, gradually increase to a pea-sized amount.
  • For Experienced Users:
    • Begin with a pea-sized amount, applying evenly across the face. After 2-3 weeks, you can apply a slightly larger amount to areas needing extra care.
  • For Advanced Users:
    • Choose the essence strength based on your skin condition. Start using it every three days, then gradually increase usage frequency as your skin adapts.

Retinol Usage Tips

  • Start Slow: Begin with a small amount and gradually increase.
  • Avoid Mixing: Do not use with high-concentration Vitamin C, AHA, BHA, or other acidic ingredients.
  • Minimize Irritation: Avoid using scrubs, peeling products, or devices that may cause irritation.
  • Monitor Your Skin: If irritation persists, reduce usage or discontinue.
  • Sun Protection: Always pair with sunscreen as retinol is sensitive to light.
  • Proper Storage: Keep in a cool place and use within the recommended period to maintain product efficacy.

CICA RETI-A Line Options

  • CICA RETI-A Cream: Ideal for beginners new to retinol.
  • CICA RETI-A Essence 0.3%: For those starting retinol care.
  • CICA RETI-A Essence 0.5%: For enhancing skin texture and elasticity.
  • CICA RETI-A Essence 0.7%: For more intense retinol care.

Application Instructions

During the essence stage, apply a pea-sized amount to your entire face, allowing it to absorb fully. Initial use may cause stinging, redness, or peeling; this is normal as your skin adjusts. Always follow the usage instructions carefully to ensure the best results.
