sk.in flash 1 & 2 | value pack
sk.in flash products are designed to deliver a potent repair shot and counteract the signs of UV sun damage and intrinsic skin ageing. Specifically designed for improving skin texture and hydration, sk.in flash minimizes pore size, increases collagen production, diminishes pigmentation, and improves fine lines and wrinkles. We have combined flash 1 and flash 2 in a budget-saving value pack that allows a seamless step up in your skin regime starting with the lower strength 0,6% granactive retinol before moving up to the medium strength 1% granactive retinol. sk.in flash can be used by all skin types.
New serum bottles with better, smoother and more precise delivery, same powerful formulation.

Night-time use only.
Always start with sk.in flash 1 before moving on to sk.in flash 2.
- Apply to cleansed, dry skin at night before any other moisturiser or serum.
- Use one full pump to cover the entire face.
- Wait for sk.in flash to be completely absorbed before applying any other topical products, such as sk.in bounce and sk.in marvel.
- Remember to always apply an SPF of 30 or higher that contains Zinc Oxide and/or Titanium Dioxide the following morning.
If this is your first time using sk.in flash, please follow the introductory phase skin regime instructions below.
the introductory phase skin regime

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.
