LET’S TALK WINTER SKINCARE Winter is a great time to think about working some more highly active skincare products into your routine. If you’re considering working in a product that will help with age refinement or even to help prevent those effects, Retinol might be for you! Retinol (also known as Vitamin A) is the only clinically proven product that can prevent and reduce wrinkles and signs of aging. Retinol has the power to improve skin colour and texture and can even h...elp to fade age spots. First time users are recommended to start at a low dosage and to increase frequency of use as their skin becomes more comfortable with the product. All Retinol users are recommended to wear sunscreen during the day as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Any product with retinol is to be used at night after cleansing + toning and before any hydration steps. Pictured: Radical Night Repair 1% Retinol Skin Brightener (Comes in 0.25%, 0.5% and 1%) Renewal Creme to help hydrate + repair while the Retinol works it’s magic
