Biotech Skincare Brand Mother Science Launches Retinol Synergist

Mother Science, a biotech skincare brand, has launched its second product, Retinol Synergist. 

 

The formula contains a patented ingredient Malassezin paired with retinol.

 

With more than six years of research, extensive laboratory studies and four clinical trials,  Mother Science says data has been published in peer reviewed dermatology journals including Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology 2021 and Journal of Drugs in Dermatology 2022. 

 

Novel molecue Malassezin is scientifically proven to be a 10 times more powerful antioxidant than vitamin C to safeguard skin from free radical damage; visibly diminish fine lines and wrinkles in rigorous clinical testing; and improves the skin moisture barrier, per the brand.

Further research into this ingredient found that Malassezin and retinol have complementary effects on skin but work through different pathways. This gives them additive, synergistic effects, with greater results together than they would have apart. Malassezin’s calming properties and skin barrier support decrease the retinization period allowing for a stronger product with minimized irritation for a faster reduction in the look of fine lines and wrinkles with less irritation, per the brand.

 

In a clinical study, after four weeks 94% of participants had firmer skin as measured with objective instrumentation; 94% of participants said fine lines and wrinkles looked minimized; 97% of participants had more radiant skin; 91% of participants experienced smoother, more youthful looking skin; and 100% of participants said the product was gentle on their skin.

 

Mother Science Retinol Synergist retails for $96 and is available on motherscience.com.
