1.5% Retinol Complex
pHformula describes VITA A Cream as containing a 1.5% Retinol Complex consisting of pure Retinol plus a double antioxidant system.
This percentage should not be presented as 1.5% pure Retinol.
The complete formula lists Retinol together with BHT and Tocopherol, which provide antioxidant support and help protect the lipid-phase formulation from oxidative degradation.
Retinol
A well-established Vitamin A derivative that supports normal skin-cell turnover.
With consistent use, Retinol can help improve the visible appearance of:
Fine lines
Wrinkles
Photoageing
Rough texture
Uneven-looking pigmentation
Blemish-related irregularity
VITA A Cream should therefore be treated as an active retinoid product, not simply an anti-ageing moisturiser.
24-Hour Moisturising Complex
pHformula combines its Retinol treatment with a blend of moisture-supporting ingredients related to the skin's Natural Moisturising Factors.
The brand highlights:
Glycerin + Pentylene Glycol — humectants that help attract water into the outer skin layers.
Sodium Lactate + Urea + Serine + Sorbitol — moisture-binding components that help support hydration and softness.
Allantoin — provides soothing and skin-conditioning support.
Lactic Acid — contributes to the formula's hydration and skin-smoothing environment alongside the other NMF-related ingredients.
Squalane
A lightweight, skin-compatible emollient positioned high in the current formula.
It helps maintain softness and reduce excessive moisture loss, particularly useful within an active Retinol routine.
Shea Butter
Butyrospermum Parkii Butter provides additional lipid nourishment and helps support the protective skin barrier.
Vitamin E / Tocopherol
Provides antioxidant and skin-conditioning support while complementing the Retinol complex.
