White Tea Phyto-Retinol Elixir 30 ml

The White Tea Phyto-Retinol Elixir from Ere Perez is a lightweight active serum for anyone who wants to care for their skin to make it smoother, more even-looking, and more resilient, but does not want to use or tolerate classic retinol well.

At the center is Bakuchiol, a plant-based active ingredient often used as a gentle retinol alternative. It supports a more even-looking complexion and may help make fine lines and uneven skin texture less visible – without being retinol itself.

Active ingredients

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) supports the synthesis of lipids and ceramides, which are essential for the skin’s barrier function. It improves skin texture and evens out an uneven skin tone. It helps with hyperpigmentation and skin redness. Niacinamide can also reduce excessive sebum production. By balancing sebum production, pores appear smaller and less “stretched.” Thanks to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, niacinamide can also have a positive effect on inflammation and moderate acne.
• Bakuchiol / Bakuchi Seed Oil (Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) Seed Oil) It is obtained from the seeds and leaves of the Indian plant Psoralea corylifolia and is considered a natural retinol alternative. A powerful plant for treating skin discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and leukoderma. With antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, bakuchi promotes the skin’s natural tone and helps normalize individual skin pigmentation. Bakuchiol It has been proven to stimulate collagen production, minimize fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the texture and firmness of the skin. The active ingredient has a long tradition as a medicinal plant in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Unlike traditional retinoids, it does not cause skin burning, irritation, or redness.
• Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant and belongs to the polyphenols. These are plants’ natural defenses. It protects the skin against harmful environmental influences such as UV rays and airborne pollutants and serves as a natural anti-aging agent in creams and serums. Resveratrol stimulates collagen synthesis, thereby supporting a healthy, even complexion. It is often used as an alternative to retinol. It is obtained from plants such as grapes, raspberries, peanuts, and Japanese knotweed.
• Tea extract (Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract) is distilled from the leaves of the tea plant. Tea has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps combat acne and breakouts, has a cleansing effect, and promotes a clear complexion. It is used to combat premature aging of the skin and hair, helps minimize pores, and makes the skin look fresher. Tea also has a soothing effect; it can reduce redness and irritation and relieve itching.
• Squalane, or squalane oil (Squalane), is a lightweight, non-comedogenic, non-greasy oil that leaves the skin silky soft. Squalane is a natural component of our skin barrier and is therefore very well absorbed by the skin. It protects the skin from moisture loss and prevents the oxidation of the skin’s own oils. The regenerating oil helps prevent age spots, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, softens the skin, and promotes oxygen supply and cell regeneration. It is usually obtained from olive oil, and less commonly from rice bran or wheat germ oil.
• Copper is one of the most important trace elements, along with iron and zinc. Our skin contains copper peptides, which have anti-inflammatory properties and support the skin’s natural healing processes. Copper is also said to stimulate collagen production, thereby improving the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Copper may also help minimize breakouts and regulate the skin’s natural oil levels.
