RetrinAL
Pierre Fabre Dermo-Cosmétique USA introduces Avène RetrinAL 0.05 Cream and RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream to visibly reduce the signs of aging. Both products deliver 4 antiaging benefits: wrinkle reduction, radiance, skin elasticity, and skin quality (skin texture and tone). Retinaldehyde delivers a powerful and nonirritating form of vitamin A directly to the skin, boosting cell metabolism and producing an immediate corrective effect. These hypoallergenic and fragrance-free products also contain Relastide, a patented lipopeptide that helps keep collagen and elastin from becoming stiff and rigid while boosting retinaldehyde. RetrinAL 0.05 Cream treats the first signs of aging and RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream delivers a higher concentration of retinaldehyde. Both RetrinAL products will be available October 2014, exclusively in physicians’ offices. For more information, visit www.aveneusa.com.
