Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38: a biomimetic peptide that targets collagen, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid production for visible firming and anti-aging results
Niacinamide: brightens, refines pores, reduces inflammation, and strengthens the skin barrier
Sea Buckthorn Extract (Hippophae Rhamnoides): exceptionally high in vitamins C, E, and omega-7; deeply nourishing and reparative
Asiaticoside (Centella Asiatica): clinically proven to stimulate collagen synthesis and soothe sensitized skin

FAQs

How is retinal different from retinol?
Retinal is generally considered a more advanced vitamin A derivative that requires fewer conversion steps in the skin.

Can I use this if I'm new to vitamin A products?
Yes, but gradual introduction is often recommended.

Should I stop using other active ingredients when starting retinal?
Not necessarily, but some users simplify their routine while adjusting.

Can it be used year-round?
Yes, with consistent daily sun protection.

Are Osmosis products natural and organic?
In most cases, Osmosis uses natural and bio-identical ingredients. The clean, non-toxic formulas are holistic because they do not cause harm to the skin. Osmosis opted not to focus on organic products because they do not think they make lasting changes to the skin. By using natural formulas full of their patented and/or exclusive ingredients, they are doing much more good to the skin.

How long do Osmosis Skincare products Last?
Most unopened skincare and color products stay fresh for 2-3 years when stored in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to use opened products within 1-2 years.
Look for the open-jar symbol on packaging—it shows how many months the product stays fresh after opening.

Tips to keep products fresh:
Store at room temperature
Close tightly after use
Keep tools and applicators clean
Discontinue use if texture, smell, or color changes

Are Osmosis bottles recyclable?
Yes, the packaging is recyclable. Be sure to remove any pumps or sprayers, give your empty bottle a quick rinse, and always check with your local recycling facility or provider for what they can and cannot accept.
