Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate / HPR
The defining difference between Corrective PM Plus and Corrective AM.
HPR is a retinoid, but it is not Retinol.
It is an ester of retinoic acid used in cosmetic Vitamin A formulations to support:
Surface-cell renewal + smoother texture + clearer-looking pores + more even-looking skin.
Within an acne-focused routine, this makes it particularly relevant to:
Congestion + uneven texture + persistent breakouts + post-breakout marks.
For Chris & Alley, use:
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) — an advanced cosmetic retinoid
rather than:
Retinol
or:
a form of Retinol.
No finished-product HPR percentage is currently published, so I would not assign a numerical strength.
Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate
A water-soluble derivative of Azelaic Acid combined with glycine.
It helps support:
Oil balance + more even-looking tone + visible redness + blemish-prone skin.
This is particularly useful in PM Plus because it complements both the retinoid and Salicylic Acid.
Importantly:
Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate ≠ free Azelaic Acid.
The ingredient should be named accurately.
Salicylic Acid
A Beta Hydroxy Acid particularly suited to oilier and congested skin.
Its lipid-compatible character makes it useful for:
Blackheads + whiteheads + clogged-looking pores + rough texture.
It complements HPR by providing a separate pore-focused exfoliating mechanism.
No concentration is currently published.
Niacinamide
Vitamin B3 supporting:
Barrier function + oil balance + more even-looking tone + skin resilience.
It is especially useful where acne-prone skin also experiences post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Hinokitiol
An aromatic compound derived from certain trees within the cypress family and used in cosmetic formulations for its purifying and skin-conditioning properties.
Lamelle associates Hinokitiol with the product's blemish-focused antimicrobial strategy.
For customer-facing copy, I would use:
Provides complementary purifying support for problematic skin.
Avoid positioning the cream as an antibacterial medicine.
Citrus Reticulata Peel Extract
The citrus-derived component Lamelle associates with its Nobiletin oil-regulating story.
It helps support:
Balanced-looking sebum production + reduced excessive shine.
Because the actual INCI lists Citrus Reticulata Peel Extract rather than standalone Nobiletin, I would avoid representing Nobiletin as a separately declared ingredient unless Lamelle confirms the standardised raw material.
Melaleuca Alternifolia / Tea Tree Leaf Oil
Provides complementary clarifying and purifying support for breakout-prone skin.
It should remain part of the overall acne-support system rather than being presented as a standalone acne treatment.
Rosmarinus Officinalis / Rosemary Extract
Provides antioxidant and skin-conditioning support.
Lamelle also positions Rosemary within the product's soothing system.
For Chris & Alley:
Helps support calmer, clearer-looking skin.
Hamamelis Virginiana / Witch Hazel Extract
Provides astringent and skin-conditioning properties particularly relevant to oilier skin.
It may help improve the appearance of excess shine and visible pores.
Avoid claiming that it physically closes or permanently shrinks pores.
Lactoferrin
A naturally occurring protein incorporated into the formula as part of its blemish-supportive system.
Use:
Provides complementary support for clearer-looking problematic skin.
Avoid overly medical antibacterial claims.
Hyaluronic Acid
Helps attract and retain water, supporting:
Hydration + suppleness + skin comfort.
This is valuable because breakout-focused routines can become dehydrating when multiple active products are used together.
Betaine
A humectant and osmolyte helping support moisture balance and reduce tightness.
Squalane
A lightweight emollient supporting softness and barrier comfort.
Evening Primrose Oil
Provides emollient fatty-acid support and helps maintain skin comfort.
Ergothioneine
An antioxidant providing complementary defence against oxidative environmental stress.
Rh-Oligopeptide-1 + Rh-Polypeptide-1
Recombinant cosmetic peptide technologies incorporated for skin-conditioning and recovery support.
For Chris & Alley, keep claims cosmetic:
Supports skin recovery and healthier-looking skin.
Avoid:
Heals wounds
or:
Repairs damaged tissue.
Copper Tripeptide-1
A cosmetic copper peptide supporting:
Skin conditioning + antioxidant support + recovery.
Allantoin
Helps soothe and condition the skin.
Urea + Sodium Lactate + Serine + Glycerin
Components that contribute to the formula's broader moisture-support system.
These help counterbalance the active acne-treatment ingredients.
Vitamin E / Tocopheryl Acetate
Provides antioxidant and emollient support.

Use in the evening only.
After cleansing, apply targeted treatment such as Lamelle Clarity Active Control where appropriate.
Follow with Clarity Corrective PM Plus over the:
Face + Neck + Décolleté
or other breakout-prone areas.
Massage gently until absorbed.
Avoid the immediate eye area.
If New to Retinoids
Although Lamelle positions HPR as a gentler retinoid, individual tolerance varies.
A conservative introduction is:
Week 1–2: every second or third evening
Thereafter: increase toward nightly use if the skin remains comfortable.
If your skin is already accustomed to the full Clarity programme, follow your skincare professional's recommended frequency.
The Following Morning
Always apply:
Broad-spectrum SPF 50+
particularly because PM Plus contains both a retinoid and Salicylic Acid.
