The bottom line 

If you are unfamiliar with the ingredient, or need a basic refresher as to what retinol is and what it can do for your skin, it’s helpful to start with retinoids, and explain their role in skincare.

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, helps brighten and even out skin tone, and adenosine helps improve skin firmness and elasticity. Peptides decrease inflammation and stimulate collagen production for firmer, more elastic skin. They also help to reduce skin roughness and wrinkles. This powerful combination of ingredients works to promote collagen production and improve skin elasticity while reducing puffiness and loss of firmness around the eye area.
