oh!oh! Resurface A is a powerful skin-rejuvenating serum that effectively regenerates cells affected by oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. The active ingredient in the formula is the precursor to Retinoic Acid – Retinaldehyde, which activates Retinoid receptors in the skin and is much less irritating than Retinol. The serum restores and promotes healthy skin, rebalancing the cell membrane. Additionally, it contains Niacinamide to brighten and firm skin tissues, stimulate fibroblast proliferation, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, while regulating excess sebum on the skin. Oat Extract and Allantoin soothe, stimulate the recovery process, and protect the skin.

Key Ingredients and Benefits

1. Retinal - 0.06%

A form of vitamin A found just one metabolic step away from the biologically active retinoic acid, it is the second most potent retinoid after retinoic acid. Retinal is an excellent ingredient for regenerating aging skin and is effective in treating acne and hyperpigmentation spots.

• Accelerates cell turnover, allowing new cells to emerge. This results in smoother and more even-toned skin.
• Stimulates collagen production; in addition to working on the skin's surface to increase cell turnover, retinal also works in the deeper layers of the skin. This is where retinal boosts collagen synthesis to combat aging. At the same time, it helps increase elasticity and repair skin structure.
• Keeps pores clear and regulates oil production, thereby supporting acne treatment and minimizing pore size.

2. Niacinamide

An active ingredient that offers many wonderful benefits for the skin, acting as both a moisturizer and an effective agent against hyperpigmentation spots. Additionally, Niacinamide is an anti-aging compound that stimulates collagen production. This active ingredient is also considered an anti-inflammatory, helping to treat acne, regulate sebum production, and minimize pore size.

3. Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract

Oatmeal is an effective anti-inflammatory, soothing, and moisturizing ingredient. Beta-glucan in the extract protects and hydrates the skin; phenols and vitamin E have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

4. Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract (Chia seed extract)

As one of the richest natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids, it has anti-inflammatory, moisturizing effects and helps maintain skin elasticity.

5. Pro Anti-Irritant Complex

The complex includes:

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate

A widely used anti-inflammatory agent isolated from licorice root. This root extract has also been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. In cosmetics, licorice root functions as a skin conditioner with anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. It also acts as an emulsifier and gelling agent.

• Skin conditioner

Dipotassium glycyrrhizate is a skin conditioner that can improve the appearance of dry or damaged skin by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness.

• Soothing agent

Dipotassium glycyrrhizate has a calming effect on the skin and is believed to help soothe inflammation. Clinical studies have identified dipotassium glycyrrhizate as an effective treatment for atopic dermatitis or eczema due to its ability to reduce redness and irritation.

• Humectant

Dipotassium glycyrrhizate has also been shown to help maintain hyaluronic acid levels in the skin. Hyaluronic acid is an important molecule involved in maintaining skin hydration, with the ability to hold 1,000 times its molecular weight in water. By maintaining hyaluronic acid levels in the skin, Dipotassium glycyrrhizate helps maintain youthful, firm, and plump skin.

• Emulsifier

Dipotassium glycyrrhizate acts as an emulsifier and gelling agent in cosmetics and personal care products. Emulsifiers improve product consistency, allowing for an even distribution of topical skincare benefits.

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract

Chamomile flower extract has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe inflammation. Chamomile has the ability to neutralize skin irritants. Besides its anti-itch, anti-inflammatory, and non-comedogenic properties, the flavonoids in chamomile also speed up the recovery of damaged skin. It also has antioxidant properties to fight harmful free radicals.

Allantoin

Found in the plant extract of the comfrey plant, it offers benefits such as: moisturizing, its keratolytic properties can increase the water content in cells, thereby counteracting the damage of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in the dermis, helping to keep skin plump and youthful; keratolytic, enhancing the shedding of the upper layers of dead skin cells, helping skin become smoother, promoting new skin cell production. It also has soothing effects, wound healing, and anti-irritant properties by forming complexes with irritating and sensitizing agents. Allantoin is very beneficial in facilitating collagen synthesis, as it stimulates fibroblasts (cells responsible for collagen production), and it also enhances the synthesis of the extracellular matrix, which is why it is a powerful rejuvenator.

Directions for use

After cleansing and toning, and applying liquid serums, take a small amount of product and spread evenly over the face.

Skin needs to gradually adapt to retinal; start using twice a week, slowly increasing to three times a week, and then every other day.

Due to the high concentration of Retinal, you may experience a slight tingling or redness in the initial period after application. This is normal and temporary until your skin adapts.

Use sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher during the day when using Retinal.

Do not apply near the delicate eye area. Avoid using products containing BHA or AHA, or concentrated Vitamin C in combination with Retinal to prevent skin irritation.
