1. DESCRIPTION OF NOVORETIN™

NovoRetin™ is an innovative, plant-based active ingredient considered a natural alternative to retinol.NovoRetin™ is specifically designed to mimic the beneficial effects of traditional retinoids—but without causing their typical side effects, such as skin redness, dryness, or flaking.

The active ingredient is derived from the Pistacia lentiscus plant (mastic tree) and is characterized by its ability to increase the endogenous retinoic acid concentration in the skin. As a result, NovoRetin™ has an effect comparable to that of retinol, but in a particularly gentle and well-tolerated manner.

2. EFFECTS OF NOVORETIN™

• Naturally increases the concentration of retinoic acid in the skin
• Promotes collagen production and improves skin elasticity
• Visibly reduces wrinkles and fine lines
• Helps achieve an even skin tone by lightening dark spots
• Has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, protecting the skin from environmental stress

3. USE OF NOVORETIN™

NovoRetin™ is used in modern anti-aging serums and creams. Thanks to its high tolerability, it is particularly suitable for people with sensitive skin who want to benefit from the effects of traditional retinoids but wish to avoid side effects.

4. SKIN PROBLEMS THAT NOVORETIN™ IS EFFECTIVE AGAINST

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Pigment spots and sun damage
• Declining skin elasticity
• Sensitive skin that does not tolerate retinol well
• Skin that needs protection from oxidative stress

WHAT IS NOVORETIN™?

NovoRetin™ is an innovative anti-aging active ingredient developed as a natural and well-tolerated alternative to retinol. What makes it unique is that it increases the endogenous retinoic acid concentration in the skin —that is, it boosts the body’s own retinoic acid levels without the need to directly apply traditional retinol or retinoic acid. As a result, NovoRetin™ can achieve comparable effects without the typical side effects such as skin redness, dryness, or flaking.

The active ingredient is derived from the Pistacia lentiscus plant (mastic tree), which is known for its regenerative and antioxidant properties. Using modern biotechnological processes, an active ingredient has been developed from this natural source that builds on the benefits of traditional retinoids while avoiding their drawbacks.

Clinical studies show that NovoRetin™ stimulates collagen production, smooths the skin's texture, and visibly improves the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and blemishes.

Unlike retinol, NovoRetin™ does not need to be converted into retinoic acid first; instead, it directly regulates retinoid-like signaling pathways. This results in a faster, more effective, and at the same time gentler effect—ideal for sensitive skin types or users who have not tolerated retinol in the past.

NATURAL SOURCES AND MANUFACTURE OF NOVORETIN™

Natural origin: NovoRetin™ is derived from the resin of the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus), which has traditionally been known for its healing and nourishing properties.

Biotechnological development: Innovative processes have led to the creation of an active ingredient that harnesses natural processes to enhance the skin’s retinoid signaling activity.

High tolerability: Unlike retinol, NovoRetin™ causes little to no irritation and is therefore suitable even for sensitive skin types

Stable formulation: The active ingredient is less susceptible to degradation by light or oxygen and therefore remains effective longer in cosmetic formulations.

NovoRetin™ thus combines the power of traditional retinoids with a new generation of gentle active ingredients —a breakthrough for anyone seeking anti-aging skincare that offers maximum effectiveness and high tolerability.

BENEFITS OF NOVORETIN™ IN SKIN CARE
