Key Benefits

• 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.

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.
