CKD Retino Collagen First Essence

Transform the very first step of your skincare routine with the CKD Retino Collagen First Essence. Formulated with 83% Kluyveromyces (yeast) extract, 300 Dalton low molecular collagen, and liposomal retinal, this anti-aging first essence deeply hydrates while helping improve skin elasticity, texture, and radiance. Its lightweight, essence-water texture absorbs instantly, leaving skin smooth, plump, and perfectly prepped for the rest of your routine.
