9-Calm Botanical Blend

Retinol is powerful. This makes it patient.

The CalmLift Retinol Concentrate is meticulously formulated to deliver the transformative benefits of retinol such as enhanced skin elasticity and reduced fine lines while minimising common side effects like dryness and irritation. The 9-Calm Botanical Blend plays a crucial role in this balance.

This synergistic blend of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and barrier-repair botanicals cushions the skin from retinol-induced stress, allowing clients to experience firmness and clarity without discomfort. Each plant extract is selected for its proven ability to soothe irritation, reinforce skin resilience, and calm inflammation at a cellular level.

By pairing encapsulated 2.5% liposomal retinol with this intelligent botanical buffer, CalmLift achieves what few retinols can:

  • High-performance outcomes
  • Minimal irritation
  • Deep client trust

Because when retinol is buffered with botanicals—results don’t just show. They stay.
