Micro-encapsulated retinol is a superb alternative to un-encapsulated retinol, which is notoriously unstable and degrades quickly upon exposure to air and light.
Research has shown that once encapsulated, the stability of the retinol material is dramatically increased, with no adverse effect on the rest of the formula. In addition, micro-encapsulation increases tolerability and bio-availability, extending more promising results for your skin.
