Key Benefits
- Dual Functionality: Provides both whitening and wrinkle improvement, making it a versatile addition to your skincare routine.
- High Retinol Content: Formulated with a potent concentration of 12,000 IU/g, ideal for improving skin texture, especially around the eyes where elasticity is often lost.

Product Features
- RETI-A Skin Tension UP: Offers targeted pore care with a high content of RETI-A (0.3%/0.5%/0.7%), boosting skin tension and elasticity.
- CICA Skin Peace UP: Provides a calming effect, leaving the skin feeling truly comfortable and soothed.
- High-Purity Retinol Stability: Utilizes 99% pure retinol in a 4th generation retinol complex, ensuring maximum effectiveness with minimal irritation.
- Synergistic Ingredients:
- Bakuchiol: Plant-based retinol alternative for enhanced pore care.
- Vitamin C: Brightens and evens skin tone.
- Acetylhexapeptide-8: Improves skin condition and strengthens the barrier.
- Ceramide and Cholesterol: Fortify the skin barrier and provide lasting moisture.
Retinol Use Guidelines
- For Beginners:
- Start with a grain-sized amount in the evening after cleansing. If no irritation occurs after 2-3 weeks, gradually increase to a pea-sized amount.
- For Experienced Users:
- Begin with a pea-sized amount, applying evenly across the face. After 2-3 weeks, you can apply a slightly larger amount to areas needing extra care.
- For Advanced Users:
- Choose the essence strength based on your skin condition. Start using it every three days, then gradually increase usage frequency as your skin adapts.
Retinol Usage Tips
- Start Slow: Begin with a small amount and gradually increase.
- Avoid Mixing: Do not use with high-concentration Vitamin C, AHA, BHA, or other acidic ingredients.
- Minimize Irritation: Avoid using scrubs, peeling products, or devices that may cause irritation.
- Monitor Your Skin: If irritation persists, reduce usage or discontinue.
- Sun Protection: Always pair with sunscreen as retinol is sensitive to light.
- Proper Storage: Keep in a cool place and use within the recommended period to maintain product efficacy.
CICA RETI-A Line Options
- CICA RETI-A Cream: Ideal for beginners new to retinol.
- CICA RETI-A Essence 0.3%: For those starting retinol care.
- CICA RETI-A Essence 0.5%: For enhancing skin texture and elasticity.
- CICA RETI-A Essence 0.7%: For more intense retinol care.
Application Instructions
During the essence stage, apply a pea-sized amount to your entire face, allowing it to absorb fully. Initial use may cause stinging, redness, or peeling; this is normal as your skin adjusts. Always follow the usage instructions carefully to ensure the best results.

J’ai utilisé le CICA RETI-A Essence depuis quelques semaines, et je suis surpris des résultats. Ma peau semble éclatante comme jamais! Les ridules commencent à s’effacer et la texture devient si douce. Recommandé!
Aminah from Berlin, Germany –
As someone skeptical of yet another essence claiming miraculous results, I approached the VT Cosmetics Cica Reti-A Essence with a wary eye. Yet, after giving it an honest chance during my evening routine in the heart of Berlin’s lively Prenzlauer Berg district, I’ve experienced remarkable transformation over these past few weeks. This unique blend harnesses retinol’s potency at an impressive concentration while introducing mild ingredients that soothe rather than irritate—no dryness here! Dark spots started fading visibly and fine lines softened as if nature granted them permission to fade into memory; oh what joy seeing fresh vitality emerge from within my skin again.

Embarking on a delightful journey, VT Cosmetics’ Cica Reti-A Essence resonates deeply with my quest for luminous skin. Infused expertly, this elixir deftly lifts texture issues while promoting clarity and resilience that embraces the contours of life’s narrative. Subtle yet impactful – an indispensable companion in my regimen.

When I started using VT’s CICA RETI-A Essence, it felt like discovering hidden treasures for my skin. In the lively streets of Amsterdam, where cultural history meets modern artistry, this product harmonized beautifully with our varied weather—my complexion feels brighter and significantly firmer! As a lover of natural skincare rooted in community traditions, it’s fulfilling to see science blend seamlessly into such rich human expression. It’s truly liberating.

Ho recentemente provato l’essenza CICA RETI-A da VT Cosmetics e la mia pelle ne ha tratto giovamento incredibile. L’applicazione è piacevolissima: il prodotto si assorbe rapidamente senza lasciare residue appiccicose, ed il profumo leggero rinfresca le mie giornate. Dopo solo poche settimane di utilizzo, ho notato una certa levigatezza delle rughe e un chiarore visibile del tono della mia pelle. Sembra essere progettata per chi come me non trova risultati in prodotti più leggeri; infatti questa essenza sembra penetrare in profondità promuovendo elasticità al mio viso stanco ma curvo dalle risate! Adoro sentire che con pochi passi semplici sto avanzando verso un incarnato radioso.

En étant d’abord sceptique à l’égard de ce produit, je me suis laissée séduire par le CICA RETI-A Essence. Lorsque j’ai ouvert le flacon pour la première fois à Paris, l’arôme délicat m’a agréablement surprise. Ma peau a souvent été difficile et enclin aux imperfections; alors au départ je n’étais pas convaincue qu’un simple essence puisse changer quoi que ce soit dans ma routine quotidienne déjà bien établie. Après quelques jours d’application nocturne assidue sur mon visage terne et fatigué, j’ai noté un vrai changement : texture plus douce et luminosité accrue ! Ce produit mêlant agents éclaircissants et propriétés antirides semble avoir du punch – qui aurait pensé qu’une formule concentrée de rétinol pouvait autant revitaliser une âme parisienne ? Je continue certainement avec cela comme élément clé!
Moana from Honolulu, Hawaii (verified owner) –
Utilizing VT Cosmetics’ Cica Reti-A Essence has genuinely been a revelation! My skin embraced this rich blend of ingredients, rediscovering its suppleness and radiance. No more stubborn wrinkles around my eyes; it’s as if I’ve turned back the clock!
Greta Müller from Berlin, Deutschland (verified owner) –
Ich bin begeistert von der CICA RETI-A Essence! Die Konsistenz fühlt sich leicht an, aber sie gibt meiner Haut sofort mehr Spannkraft. Am Abend angewendet und am Morgen merke ich einen Unterschied – die Falten um meine Augen sind gemildert. Eine gute Investition!
Isabella Martín from Madrid, España –
En mis años buscando el mejor cuidado de la piel, he probado una multitud de productos. Pero debo admitir que CICA RETI-A Essence ha elevado las expectativas por completo. Al utilizar este suero concentrado a base de retinol en mi rutina diaria, sentí cómo cada gota abrazaba profundamente mi cutis fatigado, renovando tanto la luminosidad como firmeza y minimizando arrugas visibles cerca del contorno ocular. Sin lugar a dudas presenta beneficios notables no solo para un efecto blanqueante impresionante sino también proporciona esa sutileza queríamos ver; siendo estos aspectos claramente competitivos frente a otros competidores premium que ya había incorporado anteriormente.

Usando il CICA RETI-A, ho sentito la mia pelle rinnovata! È come un abbraccio setoso che smorza le imperfezioni. Wow!
Harper Lynde from Vancouver, Canada –
The essence rejuvenated my tired skin. Finally, I noticed brightness and firmness where there was only dullness before! Truly a transformative experience.
佐藤 真由美 from バンクーバー, カナダ –
親しい友人のすすめでVT Cosmetics Cica Reti-A Essenceを使い始めました。このエッセンスは、高濃度レチノール配合ということで期待以上でした!普段から悩んでいた目元の乾燥やしわに明らかな改善が見られ、驚きです。さらに美白効果も実感できて、自信がつくおかげでメイクをする気にもなります。北米では比較的手頃ですが、その割には質が高い点もうれしい限り。他の有名ブランドとの違いは感じず、それどころか、この価格帯にしてこの成果なら十分優秀と判断しました。本当にオススメしたい一品です。

صراحة، تجربة استخدام CICA RETI-A Essence كانت مفاجئة بالنسبة لي! بشرتي صارت كأنها لامعة وطبيعية من جديد. كان عندي شوية تجاعيد حول عيني ولما استخدمته حسيت بفارق كبير خلال أسبوعين. تركيبة خفيفة وسهلة الامتصاص ما أثرت على زيوت البشرة الطبيعية برغم وجود الريتينول، وهذا شيء حلو لأن معظم المنتجات الثقيلة تسبب لي حساسيات. وصحيح أن فيه وعد بتفتيح اللون لكن أحببت الإحساس بالملمس الناعم بشكل خاص.
