A vitamin A anti-aging set for firmer, smoother, more refined skin, made of two products that work together, plus a travel-size gift. The Retinol Shot Tightening Serum (30ml) contains 0.1% retinol, a 9-peptide complex, and 1% panthenol, with 162,000 A-Shot™ particles. It improves the look of wrinkles, pores, and texture and supports elasticity. The Retinal Shot Tightening Booster (15ml) contains 0.1% retinal (the faster-acting form), 3% Matrixyl 3000, and 1% panthenol, with 20,250 A-Shot™ particles, to target wrinkles, enlarged pores, and loss of firmness. A-Shot™ is a micro-particle technology about 16 times thinner than a pore, made to carry the actives into pores. The brand reports that the booster reduced pore volume by an average of 13.33% after one use and forehead wrinkles by 28.54% after two weeks, and that used together with the serum there is up to 23.24% extra improvement in eye wrinkles. The set also includes a 3ml Retinal Booster to try or carry. The box shows the booster can be dabbed on small areas, such as spots along the cheeks and around the mouth.
