Mother Science’s Retinol Synergist: The Power of Malassezin and Retinol for Skin Health and Beauty

Mother Science, a biotech skincare brand, has recently released its second product, Retinol Synergist. The formula of this product combines a patented ingredient called Malassezin with retinol.

After six years of research, laboratory studies and four clinical trials, Mother Science has published data on their product in peer-reviewed dermatology journals including the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology 2021 and the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology 2022.

Malassezin has been scientifically proven to be ten times more potent an antioxidant than vitamin C. It helps safeguard the skin from free radical damage, visibly diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and improves the skin moisture barrier. Further research into Malassezin revealed that it and retinol have complementary effects on the skin but work through different pathways. This leads to additive synergistic effects resulting in greater results when used together. The calming properties of Malassezin and its support for the skin barrier help reduce irritation and minimize retinization period allowing for stronger product that can quickly reduce look of fine lines and wrinkles with less discomfort.

In a clinical study, after four weeks of using Retinol Synergist participants reported firmer skin, minimized fine lines and wrinkles, more radiant skin smoother youthful-looking skin with gentle effects on their skin. The product is available for purchase at $96 on Mother Science’s website.
