Gen-4 Retinoid Microneedling Glide (50ml)

A next-generation, anhydrous microneedling glide formulated for aesthetic practitioners seeking advanced collagen stimulation, accelerated cellular renewal, and enhanced post-procedure skin rejuvenation.

A botanical retinol alternative that works synergistically with HPR to support collagen production and reduce inflammation while improving overall skin resilience.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

An advanced oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative that provides antioxidant protection while supporting collagen synthesis and skin brightening.
