A high-strength retinol cream that helps smooth texture and reduce wrinkles.

Description

pHformula VITA A Cream is an advanced moisturiser that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots from both photo and intrinsic ageing. Suitable for all skin types except sensitive and rosacea-prone skin.  This product cannot be used if you are pregnant or lactating.

Key ingredients include pure Retinol, which helps in correcting blemishes and blotchiness often associated with problematic skin. Allantoin and Glycerin a synergistic blend of natural moisturising factors, assist in prolonged hydration and protection of the skin. Lactic Acid encourages exfoliation and cell turnover on the surface of the skin, reducing signs of ageing. Urea is known to help eliminate dead cells from the skin. Non-comedogenic. Fragrance-free. Paraben-free. No added colour. No lanolin or mineral oil.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: pHformula VITA A Cream is a potent treatment with high levels of Retinol that helps to stimulate cell regeneration, it increases collagen production and improves overall skin health, resulting in an improvement in skin texture and tone and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Caution: Some skin types cannot tolerate prescription-strength Retinol without experiencing flaking and irritation – this can be a transient side-effect that will pass if this product is introduced slowly over a period of time according to your skin tolerance.

    Excellent night cream. My skin is glowing and it cleans my pores and tightens them. It doesn’t make my skin dry or irritable. I love this product.

    This brand was an excellent introduction to retinol. Not much irritation and I can see the results after a few uses.
