Dr. Berman's™ Retinol Serum for men and women combines powerful ingredients that revitalize, rebuild, restore, and renew the
skin. Through proprietary Non-Oxidizing Lipid Matrix Technology, Unicity Network™ brings you the first stabilized form of retinol, the biologically active form of vitamin A that delivers beautiful, smooth,
revitalized skin. Retinol works to exfoliate dead and damaged skin cells and stimulate the body's production of collagen, one of the key building blocks of skin. This sloughing and rebuilding action can make wrinkles
look less severe and reduce the appearance of splotchiness, age spots, and sun damage. With Dr. Berman's™ Retinol Serum, you can awaken your beauty and renew the vitality of your skin! Research Brief The skin is considered an organ because its tissues work together to accomplish specific biological functions. In the average adult, the skin has a surface area of about
3,000 square inches. The skin not only helps hold the body together and protect against abrasion, bacteria, dehydration, and UV radiation, but it also performs several other roles that are essential to health, including
body temperature regulation, stimuli reception, excretion through perspiration, and vitamin D synthesis. The skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The epidermis has several layers
and four distinct kinds of cells. New skin cells form in the epidermis' deepest layer and take about two weeks to move to the skin surface, where they are eventually sloughed off. The dermis consists mainly of collagen
and elastin, two fibers that provide the skin's structural framework and allow the skin to stretch and return to its original shape. Collagen, which accounts for about a third of the body's total protein, is also found
in bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and other body tissues. The hypodermis, which is composed primarily of adipose tissue and blood vessels, acts as a cushion for the body's internal structure. Skin is constantly
aging, but the aging process begins accelerating in a person's late forties. The collagen fibers start to decrease, stiffen, break apart, and lose their collective shape. The elastin fibers lose their stretchy
properties, thicken into clumps, and fray. As a result of these changes, skin becomes wrinkled and discolored. Sun damage is one of the main culprits in premature aging of the skin FAQs Q.
Will Dr. Berman's™ Retinol Serum make my skin more sensitive to the sun?
A.
Retinoids can sensitize the skin to UV rays, so you are advised to use sun block during the application period and for at least three weeks after discontinuing the product. Q.
Can Dr. Berman's™ Retinol Serum be used along with E International® Night Serum or other products that contain alpha hydroxy acids?
A.
It is recommended that alpha hydroxy acid products be avoided while using Dr. Berman's™ Retinol Serum. Q. What if I have sensitive skin?
A.
If you know you have sensitive skin, apply a small amount of Dr. Berman's™ Retinol Serum in a sensitive area and then wait four hours. If there is no reaction, then you can proceed to use the product twice a week and slowly increase frequency. If irritation results, reduce frequency of use.
Q. Can Dr. Berman's™ Retinol Serum be used along with Dr. Berman's™ Mineral Mask?
A. Yes, they can be used together. Q.
If I'm using a prescription medication for my skin, can I use Dr. Berman's™ Retinol Serum as well?
A.
It is best not to use Dr. Berman's™ Retinol Serum in combination with prescription medications for the skin. After you discontinue use of the prescription medications, check with your dermatologist to determine how long you should wait before using Dr. Berman's™ Retinol Serum.
