Are there any precautions?

This serum is designed to speed up cell renewal. It can make your skin more photo (sun) sensitive than usual. You must use SPF50+ during the day, every day, but especially when you are using this product, or any Vitamin A based product.

We also recommend wearing a sunhat if you are going to be exposed to the sun.

It is recommended to cease other treatments (facial waxing, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and laser treatments) whilst using this product and for at least 3 days before having one of these treatments, and 7 days after one of those treatments.

It is recommended not to use this or any Vitamin A products when you are pregnant. If you started using the product, or a Vitamin A based product before you realised you were pregnant, it ok! Just cease using the product/s until after the birth of your baby and you’ve finished breastfeeding.

We recommend if you are using a C Serum, you use the Vitamin C serum during the day and use the Vitamin A serum, including Total Repair DNA Serum at night. Don’t use them together.

If you happen to experience a response that is more than just mild, we recommend ceasing use immediately. Cool water compress is the best way to manage discomfort, irritation or redness in this instance.

It can be useful to cease using other active products like Glycolic acids, Lactic acids, Salicylic acids and Enzyme peels when you are using this product. Don’t use other Vitamin A based products while you are using this product.

We recommend not using Ultimate Serum, A Serum or A Serum 1% whilst you are using Total Repair DNA Serum. And, many skins will benefit from using this product sparingly, at the rate of 1 -3 nights per week only, particularly as the skin may take time to tolerate it.

Key active ingredients:

Hexapeptide – Biomimetic peptide that improves the skins natural DNA repair pathways, enhances cellular longevity and vitality. Protects and prevents DNA damage from UV light and pollution.

Hyaluronic acid – high and low molecular weight Hyaluronic acid to provide immediate and long-lasting hydration, with additional collagen boosting and cellular cohesion benefits.

Epidermal Growth Factor – a completely vegan active, that contains five different growth factors (IGF-1, EGF, acidic FGF, basic FGF, and VEGF), amino acids and vitamins. These growth factors work synergistically with keratinocytes and fibroblast cells contributing to wound healing, cell growth, wrinkle reduction and improved hydration. 1 Reduces facial wrinkles by 13% in 2 weeks and 16% in 4 weeks on crow’s feet.

Lipochroman Molecule – superb triple antioxidant and protective shield against pollution and oxidative stress. Prevents skin damage by RNS, ROS and RCS, activates detoxification.

Retinal – Retinal is a completely natural Retinoic acid precursor, one conversion step away from Retinoic acid (the metabolised retinoid form that the skin can use) versus a two-step conversion away for Retinol. Retinal has a more controlled delivery at a cellular level when compared to Retinol, resulting in fewer adverse effects. Retinal is clinically proven to be a more stable retinoid with enhanced skin tolerability compared to Retinol. Proven topical agent for the treatment of prematurely aged skin, photoaged skin and for the treatment of acne and mild Rosacea. Increases skin elasticity, protects against free radical damage, increases dermal density, reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, smooths skin, reduces hyperpigmentation. With antibacterial properties Retinal may improve signs of acne. Improves the appearance of vascularisation and redness.

Micro algae and Polysaccharide complex – biotechnologically produced extract from the microalgae Nannochloropsis oculate, combined with a well-balanced fraction of polysaccharides– provides instant tightening effect and long-term skin firming benefits.

Seabuckthorn Oil – nourishing oil rich in essential fatty acids and exceptional antioxidant benefits. Contains Linoleic acid (also found in the skins natural sebum) which helps regulate hydration and balances oil on the skins surface. Anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
