Why You'll #LumeIt
Resolve .5% is a lightweight, fast absorbing serum with a clear, glossy texture and a distinctive retinal orange hue. Fresh botanical notes of Manuka, Rosalina, Lavender and Rosemary create a clean, herbaceous scent.
Results
- Oil flow is regulated to reduce excess shine while maintaining balanced hydration
- Congestion is cleared and pores appear more refined and decongested
- Breakout-causing bacteria are reduced for a clearer, more stable skin condition
- Redness and inflammation are visibly calmed for a more even complexion
- Skin texture is smoother, stronger and more refined with improved thickness and resilience
- Pigmentation, post-acne marks and discoloured scarring appear visibly brighter and more even
- Skin structure is reinforced with improved firmness, helping to soften lines and acne scarring
- Skin recovery is supported, reducing reactivity and restoring overall skin balance
Why It Works
- 0.5% Retinaldehyde reduces oily thickened skin types and stimulates collagen production to rebuild skin density and refine pores
- L-Carnitine improves lipid metabolism within the skin to regulate oil flow and reduce congestion while supporting cellular energy
- White Willow Bark and a phyto-antibacterial complex help control acne-causing bacteria and maintain clear skin
- Niacinamide, Beta Glucan, Panthenol and Aloe Vera reduce inflammation, calm redness and support skin recovery
- Tetrapeptide-30 and L-Glutathione reduce dark marks and post-inflammatory discolouration

Expert Skin Advice
- Always remember to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to further protect and support your skin in the morning.
- Resolve .5% if tolerated can be used every night, however I recommend to alternate nights with one of the exfoliating serums; Accelerate, Accelerate+ or Revitalise.
- Are you new to vitamin A, or have you struggled with other vitamin A products before? Start with Renew .25% Retinal Repairing Serum.
- For an Anti-ageing vitamin A I recommend Renew 1% Retinal Corrective Serum
