Time Sensitive
Slow down the race against time. This age advocating serum does it all, without irritation. Formulated with potent bakuchiol – a natural retinol-alternative, plus legacy peptides, it targets premature age progression with a powerful antioxidant defense against environmental oxidative stress. Helps protect and nourish the hydrolipidic barrier, with deep-penetrating hydrators that reserve skin’s water circulation. Used daily, it improves texture, wrinkle appearance and the feel of firmness, while cell turnover revs up to target pores, spots and uneven tone. Created for all skin types – especially sensitive, as it helps decrease the intensity of transitory or persistent redness.
Apply a thin layer day and night over face and neck. Follow with a bioelements broad spectrum sunscreen. Recommended to use in an at-home agenda for sensitive skin and barrier repair: with Sensitive Skin Cleansing Oil, Soothing Reset Mist and Barrier Fix Daily Hydrator.
