Using Retinol: a guide for beginners.

• February 21, 2023

For acne, dark spots, skin texture AND wrinkles…Beauties, there is one magical product that we can all use for these skin problems: retinol.

If you have not started using retinol yet, you’re missing out. This is your sign that you should buy it as soon as possible in order to maintain and improve your skin’s beautiful glow, youth and overall health.

M.A.D Anti-Aging Youth Transformation Retinol Serum 1%

Youth Transformation Retinol Serum delivers a 1% retinol complex to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, rough skin and blemishes. It will have your skin looking its best.

Retinol: your skin’s best friend.

Alongside other retinoids, retinol is a derivative of vitamin A, which is one of the body’s main nutrients for boosting cell turnover.

“Retinol is added to skin care products to promote skin renewal, brighten skin tone, reduce acne, and boost collagen and glow” explains Dr. Costi. “It’s also very important when it comes to reducing the visible signs of aging from sun damage to dead skin and clogged pores.”

If you would like a fresh youthful complexion, then start incorporating retinol in your skin care routine NOW!

Caution: Retinol is not recommended for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin and cannot be used if you are pregnant, but there is an alternative to it like Bakuchiol. Please check with your dermatologist before use.

Avene DermAbsolu Recontouring Serum

A global anti-aging treatment that acts on all signs of skin aging!

Recontouring serum in-oil treatment, repairs, and tones the skin, so the contour of the face is visibly redefined.

Rich in Vanilla Polyphenols, protectors of Hyaluronic Acid, combined with Bakuchiol (Syténol™), a plant-based alternative to Retinol, and Glycolol.

The rule of threes:

Retinol may cause some skin irritation when you first start using it such as mild irritation, dryness, and sun sensitivity. These are normal as your skin adjusts to the active ingredient. However, that’s why it’s advised to use retinol as part of your night-time skin care routine (not in the morning).

So for the first month, use it every third night.

On the second month, use it every second night.

And in the third month, use it every night.

Resultime Cream Retinol

This anti-aging re-densifying cream boosts collagen synthesis to make the skin look denser, more elastic, smoother and more even. You will have skin with a visibly firmer and more defined facial contour and structure!

Dr. Costi’s tips:

• Use a pea size amount only, spreading it gently and evenly.
• Moisturize before and after, which is called a retinol sandwich and actually helps to reduce any irritation (in case it occurs) and keep your skin extra soft and hydrated.
