Mary O’Donnell of the Cosmetic and Hair Restoration Centre at the Bon Secours in Tralee on the benefits of Retinol…
Retinol is a real buzzword when it comes to skincare.
When recommended after a skin consultation and used correctly with the right products, you will be astounded by the results. It encourages aged skin cells to behave in a more youthful manner.
It also refines the skin and enhances the skin radiance. It is a derivative of Vitamin A, the group of fat-soluble vitamins found in carrots, eggs and sweet potatoes. It stimulates Collagen, increases cell turnover and creating smoother and more even toned skin.
It can also inhibit pigmentation which can be very ageing on the skin. Retinol also reduces fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Acne skin also benefits from its use by working on cell turnover and unclogging pores.
It regulates oily skin and minimises breakouts. In the CHRC we stock Alumier – a medical grade skincare that offers many products containing retinol.
Starting with retinol resurfacing serums, they come in 3 strengths. So that we can start getting the skin used to actives and build up gradually.
The retinol is encapsulated which allows a slow release into the skin overnight. This encapsulation minimises side effects so you can enjoy the benefits without irritation.
The retinol eye works on fine lines and wrinkles and puffiness. It also increase firmness and elasticity (72.50). My favourite is the neck and dećolleté firming cream.
Containing 0.25% of encapsulated retinol for the fine lines and wrinkles on the neck area (84.50). Always use SPF daily after using any retinol products.
