VT COSMETICS Cica Reti-A Cream 0.05% – Gentle Retinol Cica Cream

Description

Calm and discipline in one cream. This formula combines the moderate yet precise effect of retinol with a cica complex, which helps the skin remain calm while deeper changes occur. The formulation focuses on firmness, texture, and even tone, simultaneously protecting the skin barrier from excessive stress.

At its core – 0.05% retinol, a concentration that works visibly yet smoothly. In the skin, retinol gradually transforms into retinoic acid: stimulating collagen synthesis, normalizing keratinization, and accelerating cell renewal. The result is smoother fine lines, fewer imperfections, and a clearer, more even skin tone. VT COSMETICS Cica Reti-A Cream 0.05% is built on the principle: efficacy without aggression, science without unnecessary fuss.

The cream provides dual support for sensitive or reactive skin. Centella asiatica extract with key triterpenes – madecassoside and asiaticoside – helps suppress inflammatory mediator activity and promotes barrier restoration. Panthenol and humectants (glycerin, hyaluronic acid) maintain optimal moisture balance, while skin-identical lipids, such as ceramides and squalane, “lock in” moisture and reduce the sensation of tightness. An added antioxidant shield, like vitamin E, helps neutralize oxidative stress, often accompanying the initial stages of retinoid use.

• 0.05% Retinol: A balanced concentration to improve the appearance of wrinkles, texture, and pores.
• Calming Cica Complex: Centella asiatica and its fractions reduce redness and discomfort.
• Barrier-Strengthening Lipids: Ceramides and squalane maintain elasticity and resilience against environmental factors.
• Moisture Matrix: Hyaluronic acid and glycerin retain water in the epidermis for longer.
• Balanced Feel: A creamy, non-heavy texture absorbs without stickiness and layers cleanly.

Behind the scenes – stability technologies. Retinol can be unstable, so here it is provided with protection and controlled release: this helps it act more evenly day by day and reduces the typical “retinization” sensations. This approach reflects the VT COSMETICS philosophy: respect for the skin barrier, transparent ingredients, and substantiated, reliable results.

In everyday use, this translates simply: less roughness, more smoothness. Skin tone brightens, texture evens out, and the skin remains calm. In short: scientifically formulated care that works patiently and confidently.

Usage

Apply a small, pea-sized amount of VT COSMETICS Cica Reti-A Cream 0.05% onto clean and dry facial skin in the evening, gently massaging it in and avoiding the eye and lip area. Begin with using 2-3 times per week, and as your skin adapts, gradually increase the frequency. Since retinol increases skin sensitivity to the sun, it is very important to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every morning.
