Step 4: Treatment
Targeted actives — serums, ampoules, and treatments for specific concerns.
Junglück's Retinol Serum is German sustainable skincare at its most principled — sixteen ingredients, zero fragrance, aloe vera juice instead of water as the base, and retinyl palmitate as the gentlest possible entry point into retinoid skincare. The 0.27% retinol equivalent from retinyl palmitate won't compete with prescription tretinoin for anti-aging speed, but that's the point: this is designed for retinoid beginners and sensitive-skin types who want to build tolerance gradually without the purging, flaking, and irritation that stronger retinoids provoke. Fructooligosaccharides are a prebiotic that feeds the skin's microbiome — a touch that reflects Junglück's holistic approach. Beet root extract provides betaine for osmoprotection (it helps cells retain moisture under stress). The polyglyceryl emulsifier system is derived from coconut and rapeseed — no PEGs, no ethoxylation, no petroleum derivatives. Tocopherol provides vitamin E antioxidant support to prevent the retinyl palmitate from oxidizing. At ~€25, it's positioned as an approachable retinol for the conscious consumer who wants efficacy without compromise on sustainability.

Every retinoid eventually converts to retinoic acid — but the number of enzymatic steps it takes to get there decides how strong it feels, how much it irritates, and whether you'll actually use it in month three.

Bioeffect's EGF Serum is the cult Icelandic skincare product that built an entire biotech category. Founder Dr. Björn Örvar engineered barley plants — grown in volcanic pumice in geothermal greenhouses — to produce human EGF (epidermal growth factor). The result is the cleanest, most-stable, plant-derived growth factor on the market, and a brand that's quietly become the prestige skincare reference point.
