Is the skin chirally correct?
While it is true that virtually every molecule found in nature is “chiral”, (meaning that it either spins to the left or to the right), not every molecule is “chirally correct” or can be chirally corrected. The skin has millions of chiral receptors that dictate instructions to the cells they are attached to.
What are the ingredients in Cosmedix™?
The most significant of the ingredients used in the CosMedix™ range is L-Retinol AGP Complex.

As a result, it is far less irritating than traditional Retin-A (retinoic acid).
