I am all about the retinol. I make a part of my routine even if it’s just something that I’m just using once a week. I’m hoping that it’ll help boost collagen and keep acne away from my skin. We all know that retinol can be super irritating on your skin especially if you already have dry and sensitive skin. So many people tell me that retinol doesn’t “work” for them, but it’s important to remember that it’s one of those ingredients that works on the deeper layers of the skin – so you likely can’t see what it’s doing, and if you’re experiencing irritation, it’s because of the formula, not the ingredient.
This new Strivectin Mult-Action Super-C Retinol has retinol and vitamin C in it to really brighten skin and boost collagen. Did you know that vitamin C can boost collagen in its own way? That means that pairing it with retinol as part of a regimen to take care of your skin can be a great idea, especially if you feel as if your skin doesn’t look as plump as usual.
This serum is suitable to use in the morning and at night – it’s actually pretty gentle because it doesn’t have a very high concentration or retinol or vitamin C, so it’s easy to use without disrupting your skin barrier. I think that’s the reason that they haven’t labelled the percentage of ingredients on the package, because there’s just a small amount in there.
You can pick this up online or wherever you usually find your Strivectin products – Shoppers Drug Mart has them in Canada.
