Tested for you: Retinoid night care “Wake Up Beautiful” from Pacifica
Retinoid is a form of vitamin A. Retinol and retinal also belong to this group. They have been among the most important, scientifically proven substances in skin care for many years, especially in anti-ageing products. Retinoids are particularly valued as they can penetrate the top layer of skin (epidermis) more easily due to their small molecular size.
A multi-talent
Deep in the skin, retinoids ensure that more collagen and elastin are formed. And the more of these elastic fibers are present in the tissue, the firmer and more elastic the skin is. This also has the visible effect of reducing wrinkles and visually rejuvenating the face. A meta-study from 2006 shows that the collagen-stimulating effect of these molecules was already scientifically investigated in the early 1990s.
At the same time, retinoids also have an antioxidant and exfoliating effect. For the skin, this means that they protect it from premature ageing by rendering free radicals harmless. On the other hand, they activate the skin renewal process and ensure a rosy complexion by gently removing dead cells from the skin’s surface. Retinoids also have the power to reduce excessive sebum production and strengthen the skin barrier.
Active overnight
The Wake Up Beautiful skincare line from Pacifica is based on retinoids. These are products that are used exclusively overnight to visibly regenerate the skin. Other bioactive ingredients include another substance that has increasingly moved into the spotlight in facial care: melatonin. Not only is it the hormone naturally present in the body that regulates our sleep, but it also has positive effects on the skin.
Overnight Cream – Moisturizing cream for the night
The Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Cream from Pacifica intensively repairs and moisturizes the skin overnight when you sleep. The RestLab Complex, which combines natural ingredients such as mushroom extracts with clinically tested substances, helps to revitalize the skin and reduce the signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. The feather-light cream is applied after cleansing before going to bed.

Revitalizing Eye Cream
The aim of this “night-time” eye cream is for you to wake up with a radiantly fresh eye area. With retinoid, melatonin and mushrooms, it targets the signs of skin ageing that unfortunately often become noticeable around the eyes at a very early stage. Despite its rich formula, the cream is quickly absorbed and moisturizes the skin. Gently pat into the cleansed area under the eyes before going to bed.

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
