What Nykaa E retail limited Says

Product Description:

Dermistry 2% Retinol & 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a high-strength formula. That helps turn back the clock on aging and give your skin a youthful vibrancy with this gentle, safe, and effective formula. This serum with retinol is a next-gen retinol derivative that offers far better results. It is best suited for all skin types, even sensitive and dry skin. Once in this middle layer of skin, retinol helps neutralize free radicals. This helps boost the production of elastin and collagen, which creates a "plumping" effect that can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

About the Brand:

DERMISTRY approaches skincare as precision engineering, developing formulations at the molecular level to achieve specific, measurable improvements in skin structure and function. This scientifically advanced brand collaborates with biochemists and molecular biologists to create ingredients and delivery systems operating at cellular levels.

Common Name(s): 5-ureidohydantoin,glyoxyldiureide,aluminum dihydroxy allantoinate

CAS Number: 97-59-6

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Soothes irritation, accelerates wound healing, promotes skin cell renewal, and provides mild keratolytic exfoliation.

Why It's Used: Gold standard multi-function soothing active โ€“ one of the most widely used cosmetic ingredients across all product types for its exceptional tolerability and clinically proven multi-action skin conditioning.

How It Works: Promotes keratinocyte proliferation and fibroblast migration for wound healing. mild keratolytic activity by disrupting corneocyte binding. anti-irritant via direct protein binding and anti-inflammatory cytokine reduction. humectant activity via hydroxyl groups.

Typically Found In: Post-procedure products,sensitive skin formulas,wound care,anti-acne treatments,baby products

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Active ingredient โ€“ soothing / anti-inflammatory

Secondary Functions: Wound healing,keratolytic,anti-irritant

Application Areas:

Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.

Works Well With: Ceramides,panthenol,allantoin,hyaluronic acid,centella asiatica

Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Allantoin's keratinocyte proliferation stimulation occurs via receptor-mediated signaling (possibly machr activation) rather than non-specific irritation-driven proliferation, making it a true wound-healing stimulant rather than a pro-inflammatory proliferative signal.

Retinol

Common Name(s): Vitamin a,all-trans retinol,(all-e)-3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2,4,6,8-nonatetraen-1-ol

CAS Number: 68-26-8

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Retinol accelerates skin cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, fades hyperpigmentation, and helps normalize pore size.

Why It's Used: It is the most evidence-backed anti-aging ingredient available without a prescription. it provides comprehensive skin renewal benefits that no other single cosmetic ingredient can match.

How It Works: Retinol is converted in the skin to retinoic acid, which binds to retinoid receptors in cell nuclei. this activates gene expression changes that accelerate cell turnover, boost collagen synthesis, and inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (collagen-degrading enzymes).

Typically Found In: Night creams,serums,eye creams,targeted treatment products,anti-aging formulations

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Active ingredient โ€“ vitamin a derivative

Secondary Functions: Exfoliating,anti-acne,brightening

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

Beard Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)

Dietary/Oral Supplements

Typical Concentration Range: 0.025%โ€“1% (otc); start at low concentrations and build up slowly

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Conditional โ€“ can be animal-derived (fish liver, egg yolk) or synthetic; verify source

Halal Status: Conditional โ€“ verify source; synthetic retinol is halal

Source Notes: Cosmetic retinol is predominantly synthetically manufactured. some natural sources include fish liver oils. synthetic is preferred for purity and sustainability.

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 3/5 โ€“ moderate; can cause dryness, peeling, redness, especially during adjustment period (retinization)

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ€“ non-comedogenic; actually helps clear pores

Sensitivity Concerns: Retinization period: 2โ€“6 weeks of potential dryness, flaking, and sensitivity. photosensitizing โ€“ must use spf when using retinol. avoid during pregnancy.

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Use with caution โ€“ start at 0.025%, buffer with moisturizer, use every 2โ€“3 nights initially

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Safe for general use at otc concentrations. not recommended during pregnancy. avoid with waxing. use spf daily. ewg hazard score: varies by concentration.

Works Well With: Niacinamide (soothes irritation),peptides,ceramides,hyaluronic acid,spf (mandatory)

Avoid Combining With: Benzoyl peroxide (may inactivate retinol),ahas/bhas (when new to retinol โ€“ overexfoliation risk),vitamin c (use at different times)

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Retinol is approximately 20 times less potent than prescription tretinoin (retinoic acid) but significantly better tolerated. the conversion rate of retinol to retinoic acid in skin is the rate-limiting step in its efficacy.
