Lamelle RA 3.0

An age-preventing retinoid serum that helps support even sensitive skin.

SOLD OUT

Description

Lamelle RA 3.0 is a lipid serum with a high-performance yet well-tolerated retinoic acid ester serum purposed for age prevention. Suitable for all early ageing skin including dry and sensitive skin.

Key ingredients include Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, which binds to the retinoid receptors of skin cells, promoting increased cell turnover and collagen synthesis without irritation. Squalane is an excellent skin hydrator derived from plants but also produced in its form naturally within the skin. Avocado Oil is an occlusive and skin-conditioning agent. Caprylic Triglyceride is an emollient derived from coconut oil. Fragrance-free.

Dr. Webster’s Recommendation: Lamelle RA 3.0 has been proven safe, and effective and, with only a few drops applied at night, it provides better results in treating the signs of ageing than nearly all other forms of non-prescription retinoid. This is a perfect introductory product to retinol if you’ve never used one before, or for those who prefer a serum base to a cream base.

Summary

Strength: 3% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate

Size: 30ml

SPF: None

Fragrance-Free: Yes

Application: Face

Use: PM Only

How to Use
  • Use only in the evening.
  • After cleansing and drying skin, apply 2–3 drops onto the skin using the dropper.
  • Massage lightly to spread the serum and allow it to absorb.
  • Apply your night cream that does not contain retinoid.
  • Special precautions: As retinoids are well known for their sun-sensitising effects, we do advise that you wash off any excess product in the morning. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen containing an SPF of 30 or more daily. Stop use of the product 3 days before and 5 days after resurfacing and other in-office treatments
Key Ingredients
  • Retinoids
  • Avocado
  • Squalane
  • Caprylic Triglyceride

    This was the first retinol I have tried and loved it. Didn’t cause any irritation at all, and felt like velvet on my skin. Loved it.

    I purchased this a few weeks ago and am already in love with it. I’ve not used retinol before, but feel a massive difference already. I have quite dry skin, so this really feels nourishing when I apply before bed with my night cream. Very happy with this purchase.

    This product is my intro to retinol products and I’m very pleased! I find it works really well with Lamelle’s Nourish moisturiser.

    I have used thousands of products over the last years and Lamelle is fantastic, the RA 3.0 serum is amazing. The service received from Dermastore was excellent and I love that each product has descriptive information

    This is a great Retinol that hasn’t caused any irritation. However, it seems to literally evaporate even though I store it in a dark cabinet in the bathroom.

    This is a great, high strength retinol ester that’s quite now on the market. In their marketing language, Lamelle sometimes makes it sound like they created it this ester, but it’s actually an ingredient from Grant Industries called hydroxypinacolone retinoate, There aren’t a lot of independent peer reviewed studies on its effectiveness yet, but early results look very good. I’ve really been enjoying using this and plan to continue. And at a 3% concentration, you’re getting a great dose here.

    I found this retinol very different from other retinol products I have used in the past. This is more of an oil type retinol. I suspect it is the Squalane. I have very oily skin and did not find it too oily for my skin. I think someone with more dry skin would love this. This is “gentle” retinol and did not cause any irritation. Great product for someone starting with retinol.
