Formulated with encapsulated Co-enzyme Q-10 with enhanced skin penetration power to

further scavenge free radicals, as well as Squalane to smoothen and soften skin

refill option also available to enhance sustainability feature

Use during pm only and according to professional guidance. Dispense 2-3 pumps and massage onto skin in an upward circular motion. Can be used before or after Skin Need moisturizer as suggested by your Skin Need Skin Consultant. For oily, combination, and sensitive-prone skin, dilute by blending with 1-2 drops of Skin Need water-based serums when use. Patch test before first use. NOT SUITABLE TO BE USED DURING PREGNANCY OR BREAST FEEDING.

When using products of high potency, it is advisable to introduce the products into your skincare routine one by one instead of using them simultaneously. That way it is easier to identify the effects when used alone, as well as be able to isolate the product that causes a reaction in case of sensitivity. Patch test before first use as always, and for sensitive prone skin, dilute 1-2 drops with 2-3 drops water-based serums during first few times of usage before progressing to full dosage. 

 

For an optimal age prevention and skin brightening routine, introduce Fortified Ferulic Serum, Quadruple Vitamin C Serum, as well as Retinol and Resveratrol Cream one by one into the routine that best cares for your unique skin type + problem combination.

Q&A

What is the difference between encapsulated Vitamin A and the conventional forms that have not been encapsulated?

As some users find retinol products formulated in efficacious percentages to be irritating to skin, in order to keep the retinol concentration in active range while minimizing sensitivity, the retinol used in Skin Need’s Retinol and Resveratrol cream has been encapsulated in a non-visible nano capsule made of plant cellulose, gradually delivering the ingredient into the skin in a time-controlled manner to bypass the skin’s immunological reaction of redness and irritation, while simultaneously delivering the effectiveness of this retinol product. Therefore, this product is suitable to be used by sensitive skin when used after patch testing and with care.

Can pregnant or nursing women use this product?

No, this product is not suitable to be used during pregnant and breastfeeding.

Can people with sensitive and oil-prone skin use this product?

Yes, this product can be used in the evening only, and do find the use suggestions below:
Sensitive prone skin: patchtest before use, and start off by diluting 1 small dab into 2-3 drops of Skin Need water-basedd serum and use on alternative nights. Only increase dosage or use frequency if skin does not react negatively.
Oil prone skin: since Retinol is naturally oil soluble, the product may seem a bit rich to oily skin. The richness can be countered by diluting 1 small dab into 2-3 drops of Skin Need water-basedd serum for an overall fresher rheology.

If I want to treat premature ageing and hyperpigmentation, what are the best ways to use this product and until how long will I see results?

As ageing and hyperpigmentation are triggered by a variety of factors and thus a well-rounded defence system should be employed to counter those actions, progressively incorporating the Skin Need Fortified Ferulic Serum and Skin Need Quadruple C Serum into your routine on alternating mornings and evenings can optimize these actions. Since use combinations, amounts and frequency depend on your skin type + skin problem combination, I recommend that you talk to a Skin Need Skin Consultant to learn about the best plan for your case! While you will see improvements in as little as 7 days, it is recommended to use for at least 28 days to see more substantial results.
