Review: Gentle retinol that’s perfect for first time users - I’m 36 and I’m starting to see some fine lines on my forehead and neck. I wanted to start incorporating a retinol into my routine, but didn’t necessarily want to go full blast into a high concentration as it can cause your skin to react and peel. With the cica inclusion (my face is prone to redness) and the salicylic acid also in this product, I was interested in trying it out! I had heard it was very gentle and especially great for first time retinol users. It’s been fantastic! It hasn’t caused a negative reaction on my skin and is good for a nightly use (although I use it every other night). I use Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream as my ending moisturizer once this has dried down on my face and it’s such a good combo - I’ve been using it for about two weeks and I definitely see a difference for my fine lines and less breakouts! I only use about one pump for my face and another for my neck. It also helps tone down the patchy redness on my cheeks. I use these guidelines for my own retinol use: - I make sure if I’m going outside I’m using sunscreen (not just relying on makeup sunscreen, ACTUAL sunscreen) - Following that, only use at night! - Make sure you’re looking at the products you’re using already in your routine as retinol may not mix well with some ingredients - Ensure this product is drying down on your skin before finishing with a moisturizer - As with any product, patch test on your skin before incorporating into your routine! I love this brand and very excited to keep this product in rotation! If you want to give retinol a try but aren’t necessarily ready to give a full jump in, I would highly suggest giving this a try.
Review: Gentle and skin softening - This has been a repeat buy for me in terms of skincare. It seems to soften the surface of my skin and diminishes any discoloration I have. It is gentle and doesn’t cause my face to breakout which is such a plus because I can have reactive skin. This brand in general has wonderful products that I believe to be effective and conveniently priced!
