Effect: What does the retinol serum do and is retinol good for the skin?
Our retinol serum for the face contains the best combination of hyaluronic acid, vitamins A and E, aloe vera, jojoba oil and other nutrients that reduce wrinkles and give you a radiant, even skin tone. Our skin renewing retinol serum is the ideal well-aging serum that provides an even and firmer skin texture regardless of your age. It boosts cell regeneration and inhibits collagen breakdown. That’s how the retinol serum prevents the formation of wrinkles.
Our serum also helps you with blemished skin or even acne. Retinol regulates sebum production and counteracts clogged pores, inflammation and pimples. Our serum with 2 percent retinol is also a powerful antioxidant. It effectively combats free radicals and reliably protects your skin from oxidative stress.
Is retinol vitamin A? The active ingredient vitamin A is the main substance for the anti-aging effect in our serum. Vitamin A ensures a firm and young skin, while the jojoba oil balances the oil production of the skin. The contained aloe vera minimizes inflammation, while vitamin E in our retinol serum heals acne scars. The hyaluronic acid helps to keep your skin fresh and healthy.
With our retinol hyaluronic acid, the before-and-after effect is not only visible to others, but you can clearly feel it. Your skin will feel better and full of freshness and vitality. Try out the wonderful strength of retinol!
Application: How to use the retinol serum?
Please make sure to use the face serum sparingly. We recommend that you start with a smaller amount and only increase the amount as needed over time. Spread two to three drops of the serum on your fingertip and gently massage the drops into the skin with your hands. Important note: Remember to leave out the eye area. Once the serum is absorbed, you can apply your moisturizer.
But when should you use the retinol serum in the skincare routine? You can apply our serum in the morning after cleansing your face or after applying sunscreen. However, it is best to apply the collagen and retinol serum before going to bed. This is also recommended by dermatologists. Why is it best to apply retinol in the evening? The active ingredient can then work overnight without being affected by sunlight. If you want to use retinol serum in the morning and in the evening, use it alternately and not more than once a day.
Be sure to avoid excessive sun exposure and always wear sunscreen when using the serum. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use products with retinol.
Wondering how often you should use our serum to get the best results? If you haven't used retinol serum for acne before, we recommend that you use it two to three times a week. You can then gradually increase the frequency. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend mixing a smaller amount of the serum with your face cream and applying it together.
Retinol or hyaluronic acid? Can you use hyaluronic acid with retinol?
So, what’s the difference between retinol and hyaluronic acid?
While hyaluronic acid keeps the top layer of skin looking fresh and supple, retinol is a form of vitamin A that works deeper into the skin. It stimulates collagen production and boosts cell metabolism. As a result, the skin becomes firmer and smoother.
Should I use retinol or hyaluronic acid first?
We say, combine both! The combination of hyaluronic acid and retinol is the perfect facial care for every skin type.
