## How it works

This Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1 is a lightweight retinoid essence, formulated around hydroxypinacolone retinoate, retinol and bakuchiol. It presses into the skin and is meant to be worked in at night as a texture-focused step. The remaining formula carries supporting humectants and film-forming agents typical of a VT essence of this kind, listed in full on the ingredient panel itself. Introduce this product on its own for the first several uses before layering it with other actives.

## How to use

1. Use it in the evening only, never in the morning.
2. A pea sized amount for the whole face, kept away from the eyelids.
3. Do not pair it with an acid or another retinoid on the same evening.

## FAQ

### Is the Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1 on this page the Korean-market VT Cosmetics formula?

Yes. It is the release VT Cosmetics sells inside Korea. A product carrying the same name in a US-facing listing can be a different export version with a different ingredient list or size, and we only stock the Korean release. The box and unit that ship to you keep their Korean-language packaging and Korean barcode intact.

### What does the Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1 actually contain?

Its own ingredient list names hydroxypinacolone retinoate, retinol, bakuchiol and centella asiatica extract, and we only describe what that list states rather than adding anything a similar VT product happens to carry. Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1 is a lightweight retinoid essence, and it is meant to be worked in at night as a texture-focused step.

### How does buying the Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1 here compare with a US retailer?

This is the unit built for the Korean market, with the Korean barcode and batch code intact on the box rather than swapped for a US-facing repack.

### How is the Cica Reti-A Essence 0.1 meant to be used?

It is worked in at night as a texture-focused step, and its own texture is a lightweight retinoid essence. Introduce it on its own for the first several uses so any reaction traces back to this product rather than to whatever else is in a routine that week, then fold it into the rest of a routine once it has been tolerated well.
