• 0.2% Encapsulated Retinol: Efficacy & Gentleness Balanced: The ampoule uses 0.2% pure retinol wrapped in a multi-layer encapsulation system — this technology not only prevents retinol oxidation (maintaining long-term activity) but also controls its release rate, reducing direct irritation to the skin. Compared to non-encapsulated retinol, it is 30% gentler (tested by a third-party laboratory) while retaining anti-aging effects: stimulating collagen production, fading fine lines, and improving skin firmness.
• Soothing & Hydrating Formula to Reduce Irritation: To counteract retinol’s potential dryness, the formula is enriched with panthenol (vitamin B5), centella asiatica extract, and hyaluronic acid. Panthenol soothes mild irritation and repairs the barrier; centella asiatica reduces inflammation and calms sensitive skin; hyaluronic acid provides multi-layer hydration, preventing post-use tightness or peeling.
• Lightweight, Fast-Absorbing Texture: The ampoule has a watery, non-greasy texture that absorbs fully within 15-20 seconds. It does not leave a sticky residue, making it easy to layer with moisturizers or facial oils (no product buildup or pilling). The "Boosting Shot" concentrated design means only 2-3 drops are needed per use, ensuring long-lasting use.
• UV-Protective Packaging: The product comes in a dark amber glass bottle with a dropper — the dark glass blocks UV rays (preventing retinol from breaking down due to light exposure), and the dropper enables sterile, precise dispensing, ensuring each drop maintains consistent efficacy.

（specific ingredients are subject to product packaging; the following are core and common components）：
Core Active Ingredient:
Encapsulated Retinol (0.2%): Pure retinol (purity ≥99%) wrapped in a phospholipid-chitosan encapsulation system — the outer layer protects retinol from oxidation and light damage, while the inner layer releases retinol slowly after contact with the skin, reducing direct irritation and maintaining long-term anti-aging effects (stimulating collagen synthesis, accelerating cell turnover).
Soothing & Barrier-Repairing Ingredients:
Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Converts to pantothenic acid in the skin, penetrates the epidermis to soothe mild irritation, promote barrier repair, and enhance the skin’s moisture-retention ability.
Centella Asiatica Extract: Rich in asiaticoside and madecassic acid, it inhibits inflammation, calms retinol-induced redness or itching, and supports collagen production to improve skin firmness.
Ceramide NP: A key component of the skin barrier, it fills gaps between skin cells, strengthens the barrier, and reduces moisture loss (alleviating retinol-induced dryness).
Hydrating Ingredients:
Sodium Hyaluronate (Multi-Molecular-Weight): Low-molecular-weight HA penetrates deeply to hydrate the dermis; high-molecular-weight HA forms a protective film on the skin surface to lock in moisture — relieving tightness and peeling.
Glycerin: A humectant that attracts moisture from the air, maintaining long-term hydration and preventing the skin from feeling dry after using retinol.
Safe Base & Stabilizing Ingredients:
Propanediol: A plant-derived solvent and humectant — dissolves active ingredients evenly and adds mild hydration, without the irritation of alcohol.
Xanthan Gum: A natural thickener that stabilizes the formula, ensuring a smooth texture and preventing ingredient separation.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E): An antioxidant that works with the encapsulation system to prevent retinol oxidation, extending the product’s shelf life and enhancing skin protection.
Harsh Substance-Free: Free of alcohol, synthetic fragrances, parabens, mineral oil, sulfates, and colorants — minimizing the risk of skin irritation and making it suitable for long-term use by retinol beginners.

Use Exclusively at Night: Retinol is photosensitive (breaks down in sunlight, losing efficacy and increasing irritation), so use it only in your nightly skincare routine.
Skin Prep: After cleansing and toning (use a mild, alcohol-free toner to balance the skin’s pH), pat the toner dry. For dry or easily irritated skin, apply a lightweight hyaluronic acid serum first — this creates a "moisture buffer" to reduce retinol irritation.
Dispense & Apply: Squeeze the dropper to take 2-3 drops of the ampoule, drop it onto your palms, and gently press it onto your face (focus on areas with fine lines, such as the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth). Avoid the eye area (1cm around the eyes), nasal alar, and corners of the mouth (these areas have thin skin and are more sensitive).
Follow with Moisturizer: After the ampoule is fully absorbed (about 15 seconds), apply a rich moisturizer (preferably with ceramides or squalane) to lock in moisture and further soothe the skin. For extremely dry skin, add 1-2 drops of facial oil (e.g., jojoba oil) on top of the moisturizer.
Daytime Sun Protection: The next morning, must apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) and reapply every 2 hours if outdoors — retinol increases skin sensitivity to UV rays, and sunscreen prevents sun damage and pigmentation.
Gradual Adaptation:
Week 1-2: Use 1-2 times a week, observe for redness, peeling, or tightness.
Week 3-4: If no irritation occurs, increase to 3-4 times a week.
After Week 4: Gradually increase to nightly use as skin tolerates. If irritation occurs, pause use for 2-3 days and resume at a lower frequency.
