The retinol and peptide booster serum Medicube Retinol NMN Boosting Serum helps improve skin firmness, smooths skin texture, and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores. The formula refreshes dull-looking skin, helps even out skin tone, and improves the appearance of hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks.
Contains 1.9% liposomal retinol with anti-aging benefits: it stimulates collagen synthesis, smooths fine lines, and helps reduce their appearance. It provides antioxidant protection and helps defend the skin against oxidative stress. The liposomal technology supports deeper penetration and better absorption of active ingredients.
When skin looks tired, texture becomes uneven, pores appear more visible, and fine lines become more noticeable, the skin needs care that works not only for instant hydration but also for long-term improvement. This serum combines retinol + retinal to support skin renewal and smoother texture, together with peptides to improve firmness and a more resilient skin appearance. The formula is also enriched with barrier-supporting ingredients to help the skin adapt more comfortably to retinoids.
Visible improvements:
- Skin texture — helps create a smoother and more even-looking surface.
- Pores — does not remove pores completely, but helps make them less noticeable by improving skin texture and elasticity.
- Fine lines — supports a smoother appearance and helps reduce the visibility of lines caused by dryness and dehydration.
- Tone and radiance — helps improve uneven tone and restore a fresher, brighter look.
- Overall appearance — with regular use, skin looks firmer, smoother, and more refined.
Key active ingredients:
- Retinol (1,140 ppm) + retinal — a retinoid duo that supports skin renewal, improves texture, and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pores.
