Cell Fusion C Red Ultimate Cream 50ml

Cell Fusion C Red Ultimate Cream uses retinal, a form of vitamin A generally considered more potent than standard retinol, balanced with squalane and a rich blend of plant butters including theobroma grandiflorum seed butter, shea butter and camellia japonica seed oil. Astaxanthin and haematococcus pluvialis extract bring further antioxidant weight, while acetyl tetrapeptide-5 and copper tripeptide-1 support the look of firmness alongside the retinal.

Why You'll Love It

• Retinal offers a more potent alternative to standard retinol for skin ready to progress its routine.
• Squalane and a blend of rich plant butters cushion the formula so it feels like a proper night cream, not a thin treatment serum.
• Astaxanthin and haematococcus pluvialis extract add antioxidant depth beyond the retinal alone.
• Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 and copper tripeptide-1 target the look of firmness alongside the vitamin A content.
• Rosa damascena flower water and oil bring the signature red rose element the cream is named for.

How to Use

Cleanse your face thoroughly and pat dry. Take a small amount of the cream and apply evenly across the face using gentle circular motions. Allow it to absorb fully before applying any other products or make-up. Use nightly for best results, and introduce it gradually if you are new to retinal, starting a few nights a week before building up to daily use. Apply sunscreen every morning while using this cream, since retinal increases sun sensitivity.

Suitable For

Skin ready to introduce a retinal product into an evening routine, particularly skin showing early signs of ageing that wants firming and antioxidant support alongside vitamin A.
