VENN Collagen Intensive Phyto-Retinol Resurfacing Mask
Latest release from cult K-beauty brand VENN
Continuing to set the standards in high-performance natural skincare K-beauty cult Indie brand VENN have released what is being heralded as a game changer in at-home spa quality masking. Newly launched the Collagen Intensive Phyto-Retinol Resurfacing Mask enhances the skin’s radiance and improves its overall appearance by liberating the surface of dead, dull and damaged cells.
Our dedicated VENN loyalists will not be disappointed in this new offering. We all know the power of exfoliation in a holistic skincare regime and the approach VENN has taken in formulating a natural chemical exfoliating mask perfectly complements the ingredient offering in their anti-ageing serums and moisturisers.
This delicate green emulsion boasts Fruit Enzymes (Papain and Bromelain), 3% PHA, Xylitol, and 17 Amino Acids that work in synergy to gently exfoliate and resurface skin, improving the appearance of scars and uneven skin tone and smoothing and softening skin’s texture.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract promotes hydration in the outer layers of skin, while Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, and Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract relieve redness and help soothe and repair damaged tissue.
The formulation is supercharged with 0.5% Bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative to retinol, to target the look of fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores, and two types of Collagen (low-molecular-weight Hydrolysed Collagen and Soluble Collagen) to visibly improve elasticity and firmness.
VENN Collagen Intensive Phyto-Retinol Resurfacing Mask
Groundbreaking Technology
VENN’s Hydrolysed Collagen is derived from fish skin by enzymatic hydrolysis process. It is composed of small, low molecular weight peptides (around 280 Dalton), which are easily absorbed by human skin. Combined with VENN’s Soluble Vegan Collagen created with yeast fermentation technology. Genetically engineered to imitate human type-3 collagen, it exhibits high compatibility with human skin and is easily absorbed.
The formulation uses Bakuchiol at 0.5% concentration, which is the clinically proven level to deliver visible skin benefits. It is a natural alternative to Retinol without having any of the negatives associated with Retinol. Photochemically and hydrolytically stable, the best news is it can be used during the day. It is clinically proven to reduce multiple signs of aging, including dryness, the look of fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dullness, and the loss of elasticity and firmness.
