Professional retinol serum with 1% retinol and 20% vitamin C complex
It PRO C4 Retinol Serum with PSC from Lira Clinical is a powerful skin-improving serum with 1% retinol and a 20% vitamin C complex, consisting of four forms of vitamin C. This serum has been developed for the treatment of skin aging, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation spots, acne, and sun-damaged skin.
Bee Medicadermis in The Hague This serum is not recommended as a standard cosmetic product, but as part of a personalized skin therapy plan. Retinol and vitamin C can do a lot for the skin, but also require a careful build-up, a thorough skin analysis, and daily sun protection.
The combination of retinol, vitamin C, plant stem cells, hyaluronic acid, licorice extract, and antioxidants makes this serum particularly suitable for clients who want to work specifically on achieving more even, smoother, and fresher skin.
Suitable for: skin aging, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation spots, acne, sun damage, coarse skin texture, a dull or uneven complexion, and only with caution, sensitive skin with redness.
OPERATION
The power of this serum lies in the combination of active skin improvement and repair.
- Retinol 1%: Supports cell renewal, has a keratolytic effect, and helps refine skin texture. Retinol is widely used for skin aging, fine lines, impurities, and a thickened or irregular stratum corneum.
- Vitamin C complex 20%: consists of Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (BV-OSC), Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ascorbic Acid, and Citric Acid. This combination supports antioxidant protection, collagen formation, and a more even complexion.
- PSC complex with plant stem cells: Swiss Apple, Sea Fennel, Alpine Rose, and Edelweiss support skin repair and help protect the skin against daily external stressors.
- Licorice extract: It has a calming, antioxidant, and pigment-evening effect. This makes the serum interesting for redness, sensitivity, and pigment-sensitive skin.
- Hyaluronic acid: helps retain moisture in the skin and supports a supple, comfortable skin feel.
- Olive leaf extract: supports skin repair and acts as an antioxidant against oxidative stress.
Thanks to this combination, the serum works on multiple skin layers: it supports renewal at the skin surface, helps even out the complexion, and contributes to a firmer and fresher appearance.
Therefore, this serum fits within the Medicademis approach for LIFT, SPOT, Even, Red and SHINE: Skin improvement with attention to structure, pigment, and radiance.
- LIFT: supports skin structure, firmness, and collagen-related processes, and helps soften fine lines.
- SPOT: contributes to a more even complexion and is used for pigment spots and sun damage.
- SHINE: supports a bright, fresh appearance and helps with dull skin and irregular skin texture.
- EVEN: helps refine skin texture and even out residual spots and skin imperfections after, for example, acne.
- RED: Retinol requires extra caution; in case of redness or sensitivity, rest, skin barrier, and tolerance are assessed first.
USAGE
- Cleanse the skin thoroughly with a mild cleanser.
- Apply one pump of serum to dry, cleansed skin.
- Spread thinly over face and neck, if desired.
- Do not apply to the eyelids or directly around the eyes.
- Finish with a suitable cream, serum, or SPF from Lira Clinical or another appropriate dermatological skin product.
For new users: Gradually build up usage. Start with 2 to 3 evenings per week. If the skin tolerates this well, usage can be gradually increased.
Important: Always use a good SPF during the day. Retinol can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and cause pigment reactions.
Do not use this serum around peels, microneedling, IPL, or laser treatments without personal advice. At Medicadermis, I always tailor the use of active home products to your treatment plan.

SKIN THERAPY ADVICE
Retinol is a powerful ingredient and requires a proper build-up. Starting too soon can lead to dryness, flaking, redness, or irritation. That is why I always recommend this serum at Medicadermis based on your skin condition, skin barrier, and treatment goal.
This serum can be a good fit for a treatment plan for skin aging, pigmentation spots, acne recovery, or sun damage. It can also be part of a preparatory or maintenance skin program surrounding treatments such as peels, microneedling, IPL, or fractional laser, provided it is properly coordinated.
My approach is personal and meticulous: I look not only at the product, but at your entire skincare routine, skin history, and sensitivities.
