Effect: What does the Retinol Serum do and is Retinol good for the skin?
ELAINE PERINE's Retinol Serum for the face contains the best combination of hyaluronic acid, vitamins A and E, aloe vera, jojoba oil and other nutrients to reduce wrinkles and give you a radiant, even complexion. Our skin renewing Retinol serum is the ideal well aging serum that provides an even and firmer skin texture regardless of age. It stimulates cell regeneration and inhibits collagen breakdown. In this way, the Retinol serum doubly 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 Retinol 2 percent serum is also a powerful antioxidant. It effectively combats free radicals and 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 firm and young skin, while the jojoba oil balances the skin's oil production. The aloe vera contained minimises inflammation, while the vitamin E in our Retinol serum heals acne scars. The hyaluronic acid helps keep your skin fresh and healthy.
With our Retinol Hyaluronic acid, the before-and-after effect is not only visible to others, but also clearly noticeable to you. Your skin feels better while radiating freshness and vitality, so try out the strength of Retinol!
Application: How to use the Retinol Serum?
Please be sure to use the facial serum sparingly. We recommend starting with a small amount and increasing the amount over time as needed. Apply two to three drops of the serum to your fingertip and gently massage the drops into the skin with your hands. Important: Do not apply to the eye area. Once the serum is absorbed, you can apply your moisturiser.
But when should you use the Retinol Serum in the skincare routine? You can apply our Retinol 2 percent 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 what dermatologists recommend. Why is it best to apply retinol at night? 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.
Also, avoid excessive sun exposure and always wear sunscreen when using the serum. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use retinol.
Wondering how often you should use Retinol 2 percent Serum for best results? If you have not 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 small amount of the serum with your face cream and applying it together.
Retinol or Hyaluron acid? Can you use Hyaluronic acid with Retinol?
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 promotes cell metabolism. This makes the skin firmer and smoother.
Should I use Retinol or Hyaluronic acid first? The combination of the Hyaluronic acid and Retinol by ELAINE PERINE is the perfect facial care for every skin type, so you don’t have to worry about this question.
