Retinol Niacin Night Care Mask
€4.95
The list has 44 entries, with Niacinamide second and declared on the list itself as 5%. Retinol is at thirty-one, declared as 17 ppm. The retailer's own description claims 0.3% retinol and 4% tranexamic acid: tranexamic acid does not appear anywhere in the list, and 17 ppm is the only retinol figure the list gives. Methyl Trimethicone at six is a silicone, and Allantoin at twenty-six and Panthenol at twenty-seven sit just past the middle. Polyvinyl Alcohol at thirty-six, Ceramide NP at thirty-seven and Sodium Hyaluronate at thirty-eight all fall in the last third, where the concentration is lowest, and no Parfum or Fragrance is declared anywhere.
