A sophisticated multi-retinoid firming serum from Dr.G, formulated with 8 distinct forms of retinol and retinoid-like actives — each with a different potency, conversion rate, and skin tolerance profile — combined with a 6-peptide Pink Peptide complex and the brand's exclusive V-Booster™ technology to maximize elasticity enhancement, skin renewal, and anti-aging results while maintaining suitability for all skin types including sensitive skin. The concept behind 8X Retinol is to deliver a comprehensive retinoid effect across multiple conversion pathways simultaneously.
Rather than relying on a single high-concentration retinol that can cause irritation, the formula distributes retinoid activity across eight forms at varied strengths: the fastest-acting and most potent retinoid (Retinal/Retinaldehyde) sits alongside the well-known classic Retinol, while gentler retinol esters — Retinyl Palmitate, Retinyl Linoleate — contribute slower, more sustained activity. Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) acts similarly to retinoic acid without requiring enzymatic conversion, providing effective anti-aging results with reduced sensitivity risk.
Retinyl Retinoate combines the activity of both retinol and retinoic acid in a single molecule. Bakuchiol — a plant-derived retinol alternative from Psoralea corylifolia — mimics retinol's skin renewal mechanisms through different biological pathways, offering excellent tolerance.
Silybin (milk thistle extract) rounds out the complex with antioxidant-driven skin renewal support. The Pink Peptide complex brings together six signal peptides — Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 — targeting multiple pathways of skin aging: relaxing expression-related tension, stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis, supporting skin matrix renewal, and boosting moisture retention for a firmer, more revitalized complexion.
The formula's distinctive pink color comes entirely from Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12), which imparts its natural deep pink hue while delivering anti-inflammatory and barrier-repairing benefits. V-Booster™, Dr.G's proprietary boosting complex, works in concert with the retinoid complex to amplify its elasticity-restoring effects.
Ceramide NP and Cholesterol protect the skin barrier throughout treatment. Niacinamide, Adenosine, Squalane, Shea Butter, and Panthenol support brightening, anti-wrinkle, and deep nourishment.
