[what makes it glorious]
Cosmedix talk about Define as a great place to start your skincare journey with the brand. And we love that, because skincare really is a journey. Define is a night time treatment product, recommended for use two to four times a week. This clever formulation contains…drum roll please… Microencapsulated Retinol Complex which is considered to be the gold standard in improving skin cell production (think retinol, supercharged). Combine that with a triple-hydroxy acid cocktail (L-Lactic Acid, L-Malic Acid and L-Tartaric Acid) to gently exfoliate and reveal smoother, more even skin – and you’ve got a gold star product right there.

WHAT IT IS:When beginning your Cosmedix retinol skincare journey, we recommend starting with Define Age-Defying Treatment with Hydroxy Acids and Retinol. This multi-tasking cream gently exfoliates the skin to promote a smoother-looking texture by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and imperfections. Formulated with 2% AGP Retinol Complex and Alpha Hydroxy Acids, this rich treatment helps reveal the next layer of skin while restoring hydration to the complexion for a more supple, even-looking skin tone.TRANSFORMATIVE INGREDIENTS

[how to apply]
For use at night time (as it may cause skin sensitivity if you’re exposed to the sun). Apply a small amount, to a freshly cleansed face and neck, two to four times a week, as tolerated. Follow with a moisturiser if further hydration is required.
[glorious tip]
Just as Cosmedix recommends, using Define early on in your skincare journey is a great way to introduce exfoliating acids into your routine. Build up your skin’s tolerance to these new ingredients by using once or twice a week to begin with before incorporating up to four times weekly. [ingredients]
