Does this cream contain retinol?
No, this anti-ageing moisturiser does not contain retinol. With our BT MatrixTM, an exclusive blend of black tea and rambutan leaf extracts, we’re able to deliver retinol-like performance from naturally derived ingredients, while remaining gentle on all skin types without the known discomfort typical of many retinol products.
How did you prove BT MatrixTM has retinol-like strength?
At the fresh Research Lab, our scientists tested BT Matrix™ on human skin explants using the Perfex vivo® model and monitored for 6 days. They then analysed key biomarkers involved in smoothing wrinkles and firming—the known benefits of retinol—as well as skin discomfort. BT Matrix™ is scientifically proven* to be highly effective in all key biomarkers. BT MatrixTM is also scientifically proven via an instrumental test to visibly reduce the level of wrinkles. *ex vivo tests on ingredients
How does BT MatrixTM work?
The blend of leaf extracts works synergistically to support lost skin structure due to a natural decline in collagen, keeping skin smooth with reduced look of wrinkles and improved firmness.
Is this cream suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, fresh's exclusive BT MatrixTM delivers retinol-like power that’s gentle enough to be used twice a day. This moisturiser is dermatologist-tested and proven effective on all skin types,* including sensitive skin. *normal, dry, oily, combination
What should I use with this moisturiser?
We recommend applying Tea Elixir Serum underneath for scientifically proven smoothing benefits. And pair with Black Tea Eye Cream for age renewal for face and eyes.
