Sylimarin Reti C Glow Cream is a luxurious cosmetic that harmoniously combines the power of amphiphilic vitamin C, silymarin and antioxidant retinol without irritation or exfoliation. This formula provides comprehensive anti-ageing, brightening and protective care, providing a refined solution for reducing signs of ageing, hyperpigmentation and protection against photodamage.
A cream recommended for all professional treatments aimed at synthesising new collagen.

• Visible reduction of signs of ageing and firming: an advanced combination of antioxidants with encapsulated retinol significantly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and improves skin firmness.
• Colour improvement: thanks to a combination of 2% silymarin, glutathione and salicylic acid, the formula effectively reduces hyperpigmentation of moderate intensity, restoring an even skin tone.
• Protection against photo-ageing: silymarin, vitamin C and an antioxidant form of retinol, protect the skin from the damaging effects of UV radiation, preventing photo-damage.
• Intensive reduction of oxidative stress: silymarin together with ferulic acid, glutathione and vitamin C effectively reduce oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammation.

• Vitamin C 10% – ascorbic acid in amphiphilic form, is a powerful antioxidant that brightens the skin, stimulates collagen synthesis, neutralises free radicals and reduces signs of ageing. Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for the production of good quality collagen; without its presence in the skin, the correct and strong structure of this protein will not form, which is why highly concentrated formulas with vitamin C are a must for thickening and wrinkle-reducing treatments.
• Encapsulated retinol 2% – this is a form of vitamin A that has been encapsulated in a carrier. Through this process, retinol becomes more stable, better penetrates the skin and is gradually released, helping to improve efficacy and reduce side effects. Encapsulated retinol stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, improving skin firmness and elasticity and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. This form of retinol has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties (which are not found in the pure form of retinol), which can help reduce redness and irritation, especially in those with acne or sensitive skin.
• Silymarin 2% – has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces oxidative stress and protects against UV, supports the treatment of melasma. In the long-term, its effectiveness in lightening hyperpigmentation is comparable to that of hydroquinone, but without the side effects.
• Salicylic acid 0.2% – has an exfoliating, purifying and anti-inflammatory effect, smooths the epidermis, increases the penetration of active substances and supports the fight against acne lesions.

Skin type: dry, combination, mixed with a tendency to acne lesions.

Skin problems: loss of firmness, wrinkles, skin ageing, hyperpigmentation, melasma, uneven tone, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, post-acne adult skin.

Daily night application: Apply the cream, avoiding the eye area, to cleansed skin on the face, neck and décolleté and massage gently to promote deep absorption. Wash hands after application.

Synergistic use: To maximise the effect, always apply a high quality zinc oxide UV filter with a minimum of SPF 30-50 during the day to ensure comprehensive protection and proper metabolism of retinol in the skin.

Recommended frequency: Ideal for daily use in evening care. Due to the encapsulated retinol, it does not cause irritation or peeling – use the cream all year round. The greatest effectiveness is observed after 3 months of use.

CAUTION:
Do not use during pregnancy (product can be used during lactation).

• Silymarin: Clinical studies show that 2% silymarin can reduce the harmful effects of UV radiation and act similarly to 4% hydroquinone in the treatment of melasma. In a study that lasted 12 weeks, silymarin proved to be an effective alternative to hydroquinone in the treatment of melasma, with a better safety profile and fewer side effects.
• Encapsulated retinol: Encapsulation of retinol significantly improves its stability and efficacy as an antioxidant. This technology has proven applications in cosmetic and dermatological formulations, offering long-term protection and effectiveness in giving products more stable anti-ageing properties. Encapsulated retinol showed significantly higher stability than free retinol. The increase in stability was estimated as 80% when stored at 25°C for 30 days. The DPPH test showed that encapsulated retinol had a 45% higher efficiency in neutralising free radicals compared to free retinol.
