VT COSMETICS Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1 – Gentle Retinol Essence Care

Description

A gentle yet targeted skin renewal strategy where comfort goes hand-in-hand with results. This is exactly how VT COSMETICS Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1 works – an essence that combines the efficacy of retinoids with the calming properties of cica, for skin that looks more vibrant, smoother, and harmonized.

The principle is clear: the 0.1 intensity retinoid complex acts as a “start button” for natural renewal. Retinoids, by binding to the skin’s retinoid receptors, stimulate keratinocyte turnover, help to balance keratinization, and over time support collagen synthesis. The result is a more even texture, fewer minor imperfections, brighter, and visually calmer skin. The dosage is carefully considered, so the effect is noticeable, and the sensation is well-managed, without excessive discomfort.

The second core element is the cica philosophy. Centella asiatica derivatives, such as madecassoside or asiaticoside (widely discussed in dermatological literature), help to suppress the sensation of redness, support the skin’s barrier function, and promote faster recovery. This tandem acts like a shock absorber: transforming the retinoid impulse into a smooth, controlled process.

The formula is complemented by moisture architecture: glycerin and hyaluronic acid derivatives retain water in the epidermis, while squalane and ceramide analogs help strengthen the lipid barrier. Included calming components, such as panthenol or allantoin, provide an additional layer of comfort as the skin undergoes its adaptation phase. The texture is light, refined, and layers well with other daily products.

• Precise 0.1 Retinoid Concentration: targeted renewal without excessive harshness, suitable for consistent progress.
• Cica Calming Effect: Centella asiatica derivatives help reduce sensations of sensitivity and support the barrier.
• Skin Texture Smoothness: visibly fewer fine lines and irregularities, more even tone.
• Moisture and Lipid Balance: glycerin, hyaluronic acid, squalane, and lipid analogs work synergistically.
• Controlled Release of Effect: a stabilized retinoid system, designed for more comfortable use by an audience prone to sensitive skin.

VT COSMETICS values are directly apparent from the name: cica as a soothing base, Reti-A as a scientific direction towards renewal, and 0.1 as a thoughtfully dosed power. Without hype, with transparency about the composition and principles of action. The skin receives what it needs: a consistent push towards a well-functioning, elastic, and visually calmer surface.

Begin by using 2-3 times per week, gradually increasing frequency to daily as your skin tolerates the product. Avoid contact with the eye area. In the morning, always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency of use or discontinue use.
