The active ingredient combination of our retinal serum consisting of 0.1% retinal, 5 peptides, and soothing ingredients such as 10% pre- and postbiotics is specifically designed to improve skin elasticity, counteract fine lines and wrinkles, and provides a foundation to combat impurities. Ectoin and Allantoin can have soothing, antioxidant, and intensely moisturizing effects. It's absolutely amazing!
10% pre- and postbiotics support the skin microbiome, have anti-inflammatory and soothing effects.
0.1% Retinal (encapsulated) promotes collagen synthesis, increases skin elasticity, improves skin texture, can lighten pigmentation spots, and unclogs pores.
5 Peptides strengthen the epidermis, can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and have a regenerating effect.
Ceramides promote the skin barrier, reduce water loss.
Ectoin is effective in providing moisture and can act as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Allantoin promotes skin regeneration and has antioxidant effects.
Application in the evening. After using The Ten out of Ten Cleanser, apply 2-3 pumps of the serum to dry skin and gently massage into the face, neck and décolleté. Avoid the eye area and particularly sensitive skin areas. Due to the slightly exfoliating effect of the Essential Essence Toner, it should be slowly incorporated into the same routine as the Absolute A/A+ Serum. To do this, the face should be allowed to dry completely after using the Essential Essence Toner and then the Absolute A+ Serum should be applied as described. To complete the routine, apply the Barrier Boost CPA Barrier Cream.
Application note:
After using Absolute A+ Retinal Serum, use a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF 50) the next morning and on the following days and avoid direct sunlight.
Use only as directed. Do not use on damaged or irritated skin.
Avoid contact with eyes. If the product does get into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water. If irritation occurs, application should be paused for a few days (keyword: Skin purging).
The product should not be used if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Science
The game changer for your skin health: Our evidence-based formulations harness the power of high-quality ferments. Discover the benefits of postbiotics and learn how they support your skin's vitality.
The basic routine we recommend is as follows: Cleanse, Prepare, TREAT, Moisturize. TREAT initially stands for the Absolute A series, other products will follow. The retinal sandwich method can be used to minimize skin irritation: To do this, after cleansing with the Ten out of Ten Cleanser, apply the Barrier Boost Cream, then the Absolute A/A+ Serum and finally a thin layer of Barrier Boost CPA Barrier Repair Cream.
No, it is not recommended to use products containing retinoids during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The use of products containing retinoids can be problematic during this time, as excessive amounts of vitamin A can be harmful to the unborn child or breastfed baby.
If you have already had experience with retinoids (e.g. retinol/retinal) and use them regularly without irritation, Absolute A+ is the right serum for you. Important to note: 0.1% retinal corresponds approximately to the effect of 1% retinol, so it is best to start with a low application frequency!
In our formulation, we have placed particular emphasis on minimizing the irritation potential of the retinal by adding soothing and nourishing ingredients such as 10% pre- and postbiotics, ceramides, 5 different peptides and ectoin. These ingredients are carefully selected to strengthen the skin barrier and improve the retinal's tolerance.
However, if undesirable reactions such as dryness or skin irritation occur, the frequency of application of the product can be reduced. For example, you can consider applying the product only every second or third evening. This allows the skin to gradually become accustomed to the product and minimizes the risk of irritation.
We recommend using the products in the Absolute A series alternately with chemical peels and not on the same evening. Ideally, you should use the chemical peel in the evening before the retinal and take a break from the active ingredients on the following days.
Regular use of the product is most important for the effect. The frequency can be increased carefully and slowly, depending on how accustomed the skin is, from once a week to daily use.
Yes, vitamin C and vitamin A can be combined in skin care. For example, a vitamin C product can be applied under sun protection in the morning and vitamin A in the evening. Here too, it is important to pay attention to how your skin feels and the concentration used in each case, as vitamin C, e.g. in the form of ascorbic acid, can also have an irritating effect. Don't forget: sun protection (ideally SPF 50) during the day is mandatory when using vitamin C and vitamin A.
Absolute A serums can also be used in summer. It is particularly important to ensure adequate sun protection (ideally at least SPF 50) during the day. If necessary, the frequency of application can be reduced in summer (1-2x per week). In any case, our Absolute A+ Retinal Serum should only be used in the evening.
