The ingredient formula combines Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Vitamins C & E, Ceramides, and Hyaluronic Acid. These ingredients have a combined effect in reducing the signs of ageing including fine lines and wrinkles, repairing the skin barrier, diminishing hyperpigmentation, protecting the skin against environmental free radical damage, and improving hydration.

sk.in flash will last 2.5 to 3 months if the recommended regime is followed with a single daily use. This product spreads very easily so only 1 pump is required for the entire face. Please see product insert for further info on how to apply.

precautions

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is an active ingredient that may sensitise the skin with overuse. Dr. Alek Nikolic recommends that you introduce this product slowly into your skincare regime. sk.in flash must not be used if pregnant, breastfeeding, planning to become pregnant, or using oral Vitamin A medication (such as Roaccutane). Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, so remember to always apply an SPF of 30 or higher during the day.
