Beyond Retinol

DESCRIPTION

3LAB does not formulate with retinol. Instead, the brand uses next-step actives that deliver retinol-like cellular renewal without irritation, photosensitivity, or barrier compromise.

HOW IT WORKS

Three primary alternatives across the catalog: Sytenol A, a botanically inspired retinol-like compound; Chloroplastim, a lipid complex with retinol-like activity; and Peptilium, a cranberry-derived biopeptide delivering retinol-like results.

THE LUXURY CHOICE

Retinol delivers results, but at a cost — peeling, photosensitivity, barrier disruption. 3LAB's alternatives protect the skin's integrity while supporting visible renewal.

KEY BENEFITS

• Supports cellular renewal without irritation
• No photosensitivity or peeling
• Compatible with daily morning and evening use
• Supports the skin barrier rather than disrupting it
• Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive

PROVENANCE

Bio-engineered or botanically derived alternatives, selected by 3LAB chemists for performance and skin tolerance.
