FAQ

Retinoids are a family of chemical compounds derived from vitamin A that regulate skin cell growth, speed up cell turnover, and boost collagen production. Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) is the "next-generation" retinoid bonding directly to skin receptors to act similarly to its "sister molecule" tretinoin, but with potentially less irritation.

Instead of utilizing viral ingredients, Indy Maé Skin relies on high-strength clinical-grade actives to target the same anti-aging and barrier-repair concerns:

• Growth Factors & Peptides: While we may not stock salmon-derived PDRN, Indy Maé utilizes extensive growth factor serums and peptide cocktails that achieve very similar cellular repair and collagen-boosting results.
  
• Hyaluronic Acid & Ceramides: At Indy Maé, our formulas lean heavily on proven barrier protectors like multi-weight hyaluronic acid complexes, ceramides, and niacinamide.
  
• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR): Retinoids are a family of chemical compounds derived from vitamin A that regulate skin cell growth, speed up cell turnover, and boost collagen production. Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) is the "next-generation" retinoid that bonds directly to skin receptors to act similarly to its "sister molecule" tretinoin, but with little to no irritation to your skin. Indy Maé utilizes the power of HPR in its Vitamin A Pro night renewal serum.
