Camellia Sinensis (Green tea) Leaf neutralizes free radicals and potentially prevents and reduces sun damage. Citrus Aurantium (Neroli) Hydrosols is one of the most versatile hydrosols with a pronounced impact in both skin care and aromatherapy. Encapsulated retinol (Vitamin A) smooths the skin’s appearance and helps to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. L-ascorbic acid is the most potent form of Vitamin C. Proprietary blend of resveratrol and superoxide dismutase (SOD) for a powerful antioxidant boost. Sodium Salicylate fights inflammation, which in turn provides for the use of a therapeutic amount of retinol without causing irritation, making it safe for sensitive skin. Ceramide NP protects the top layer of the skin, prevents moisture loss, keeps skin soft and supple. Coenzyme Q is a powerful antioxidant.
There are far too many ingredients in this formulation, which might lead to the sensitivity of the sun and irritation to the skin. Clinically proven ingredients should contain at least 10% active ingredients with a minimum of 5 patented ingredients. It should contain a synergistic blend of ingredients for nighttime use including Electric Daisy Flower, jojoba oil, Alpenrose and more.

Marie Veronique Gentle Retinol Night Serum Review – Conclusion
The product comes with a good guarantee and the consumer reviews of this product are very pleasing. Moving forward, it very important to mention that this product needs clinically proven ingredients to be part of the formulation, to alleviate the sensitivity and irritability issues. There are unnecessary ingredients in the formulation, it contains a proprietary blend which may cause further sensitivity and irritability to the skin. And furthermore, do we find that is overpriced.
