So, you're a retinol user and you don't want to give it up…

Here’s what you need to know…

Retinol and its derivatives are all powerful ingredients with visible effects that
you can count on. That’s one of the reasons retinol is so popular. It works and
you can tell.

You might also notice something else…


• Your skin has become a little sensitive. No, scratch that, it’s really sensitive. Must be all those chemicals and pollution!
• You’re getting sunburns and sun spots more often than before. Well, everyone knows
about the expanding areas of damaged ozone. The sun must have become more active in the past few years and the UV index is higher than ever.
• You’re getting a nice pink glow on your skin from using retinol, but some of
your selfies are looking a little… red? Time for a new phone, maybe with a
better camera.
• You’re getting mild rosacea. It’s mostly under control, with occasional flare-ups.
Well, rosacea is most likely genetic, right? The problem is that each of these individual symptoms can be caused by different reasons. But if you experience most or all of the above, plus occasional burning, flaking, tingling, dryness, irritation, pigmentation – well, these are side effects of systematic retinol use. Oh, and that rosacea thing?
Maybe worth getting a second opinion. It could be retinoid dermatitis. Just saying.
You’re not convinced, we know. Well, if you love your retinol – that’s great, we’re
not about to change your mind. There are other options, but ultimately, the choice is yours and we respect that. What we’re offering instead are two bundles to help your skin deal with the after-effects of your skincare regimen.
