Combining the power of peptides, amino acids and retinol, this age-defying serum works to minimize the appearance of fine line and wrinkles, visibly firm sagging skin and revitalize dull, tired-looking skin for a more youthful-looking complexion. The formula is aptly named for the Queen Bee peptide (Pentapeptide-48), which is a synthetic peptide that mimics royalactin, a protein essential for the development and longevity of long-lived queen honeybees. In skincare, it's known to help the skin retain moisture, minimizing the visible signs of aging and making it look plump and well-hydrated. It also brightens and improves the skin's tone and texture, leaving it feeling softer with a healthy-looking glow. Pearl protein, found in mother-of-pearl oysters, is rich in amino acid reserve peptides which provides a boost for dull, dry skin. This hydrating serum is enriched with retinol (vitamin A) to gently encourage the shedding of old, dead surface skin cells. This helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and gives skin a radiant, youthful-looking glow. Infused with a light floral fragrance, the serum is lightweight and effortlessly absorbs into skin. Gentle enough to use daily, day and night, before moisturizer. Ideal for all skin types. | DHC Queen of Serum, 3. 17 oz | Dermstore
