Formulation Deep Dive
Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum is formulated as a high-performance anti-aging serum designed to target multiple dimensions of skin repair through a sophisticated peptide-retinoid complex. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated silicone-in-water emulsion, blending dimethicone and isododecane with humectants like glycerin and butylene glycol to provide a silky, quick-absorbing texture that enhances the delivery of active ingredients. The core performance is driven by a synergistic blend of hydroxypinacolone retinoate (a potent retinoid ester), acetyl hexapeptide-8, and palmitoyl tripeptide-1/tetrapeptide-7, which work together to support natural collagen production and smooth the appearance of fine lines. Sodium hyaluronate and squalane ensure the skin remains hydrated and protected during the resurfacing process. The formulation is stabilized with a complex polymer network, including ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer, and utilizes a reliable preservative system of phenoxyethanol and potassium sorbate to ensure long-term clinical efficacy and stability.
