Green Amie is your “green friend” that provides rapid results to clear healthy skin.  It combines retinaldehyde and other ingredients found in nature to improve skin complexion, texture and pigmentation.

What is Retinaldehyde?

Retinaldehyde is a much better choice for vitamin A use in cosmetics than retinol.  Retinol must first be converted into retinaldehyde by out skin and subsequently converted into retinoic acid before it is used to combat skin wrinkles and uneven skin tones.

Retinaldehyde has remained almost unused in the industry due to its inherent instability.  AfectaDerm RAC is stabilized retinaldehyde that finally delivers the results without the irritation profile.

Benefits of Retinaldehyde?

Speeds cell turnover: Our skin cells naturally turn over every 28 days on average, though this process takes longer as we age. By causing the skin cells on the outermost layer of skin to turnover faster, new cells can emerge, resulting in smoother, more even skin.

Stimulates collagen production: Along with working on the surface of the skin to speed up cell turnover, retinoids, including retinaldehyde, also work on the deeper layer of the skin, where it boosts collagen synthesis for anti-aging benefits, increases elasticity, and repairs connective tissue in the skin.

Keeps pores clear: In speeding up cell turnover and acting as an exfoliant, it also helps unclog pores to keep them clear, which is why it’s often found in acne treatments. Retinaldehyde also balances oil production, thus shrinking the pores to prevent them from getting clogged and inflamed.

It is Paraben, Sulfate and Phthalate Free and sourced from natural, sustainable and ethical resources.
