OUR SCIENCE
This Marine-Powered Retinol is Redefining Skincare
As the beauty industry embraces sustainability, one groundbreaking ingredient is making waves—ALGAKTIV® RetinART. Inspired by the blue economy, this innovative marine-powered bio-retinoid is changing the skincare game by delivering results that are faster, gentler, and more effective than traditional retinol alternatives.
Retinol has long dominated anti-ageing skincare for its proven ability to reduce wrinkles, clear acne, and renew the skin. However, its use is often limited by irritation, sensitivity, and delayed results.
ALGAKTIV® RetinART, derived from a 2.5-billion-year-old strain of microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris), offers a next-generation solution. Its marine apocarotenoids mimic retinoic acid and selectively target the RARβ receptor, allowing for high efficacy without the irritation linked to traditional retinoids.
Its unique delivery system enhances absorption, enabling deeper dermal penetration and precise skin remodeling. Clinical studies show rapid results:
-
Wrinkle reduction in just 14 days
-
Brighter, more even skin tone
-
23% boost in elasticity within two weeks
Sustainable, science-backed, and skin-friendly—RetinART is a true innovation in marine biotechnology and a cornerstone of Vitant’s commitment to holistic, high-performance skincare.
Natural Skincare, Proven by Science
One of our hero ingredients is LactoSporin®, a versatile, postbiotic extract derived from Bacillus coagulans. It offers a unique trifecta of benefits:
-
Anti-ageing: Proven to reduce wrinkle formation by inhibiting collagenase and oxidative stress
-
Anti-acne: Clinically shown to reduce acne lesions and oiliness, with efficacy comparable to benzoyl peroxide
-
UV protection: Helps defend against sun-induced DNA damage and supports skin barrier function
Chosen for its multifunctionality and clinical validation, Lactosporin is more than a trend—it’s a science-backed powerhouse that addresses both ageing and acne at the root cause.

Your skin’s microbiome, an ecosystem of surface bacteria, acts as a natural defense against pathogens, safeguarding both your skin and overall health.
A balanced microbiome contributes to a healthy and vibrant appearance. When imbalance occurs, with more harmful bacteria than beneficial ones, issues like dryness and itching may arise. It’s no wonder that maintaining a balanced microbiome not only enhances your skin but also uplifts your overall well-being, proving that when you look good, you feel good.
