Revolution Skincare London, Smoothing Serum with 0.5% Retinol and Rose Hip Seed Oil 30ml

Product Information

Sunburn alert: this product may increase your skins sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility to sunburn, use a sunscreen as required. Revolution Skincare have ‘IT girl’ ingredients. There are some super specific actives I haven’t seen ANY other budget-skincare-which-works brand use (to date) – we’re talking trending actives like CBD oil, colloidal silver and CICA.

CICA aka centella asiatica– which naturally contains 3 super soothers known as asiaticoside, asiatic acid, madecassic acid – it’s a star of ayurvedic medicine, which can be super controversial – mostly because ayurvedic medicine can be along the same lines as ‘old wives tales’. But guess what, sometimes old wives tales turn out to be 100% truth, we just didn’t yet know the science reasons for why they work. Centella is one of those herbs with truth. It’s super soothing, healing plus collagen boosting (anti-ageing) – and science now knows why. Instead of I will help iron away crow’s feet and fine lines like I’m a GHD straighter for your face serum, you will find 10% matrixyl serum. Here’s the dealiO with uneven skin tone/hyper-pigmentation/acne scars/dark marks – they are areas of skin where your skin cells are suddenly over making melanin. That’s the pigment which gives your skin colour. The cells you have which make melanin get over activated/frazzled when;

Develop and increase your levels of retinol by introducing this serum that's made with skin-loving vitamins (like niacinamide, which evens skin tone and smooths) and hyaluronic acid too, to plump skin whilst keeping it hydrated. Over to skincare guru and Harley Street dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto to explain. “Retinol can cause irritation at first, so don’t go straight into using it nightly,” she says. “Try applying retinol a few times weekly to begin with and see how your skin reacts. If it feels sore, give it a rest, but if it’s ok, you can keep going. Just don’t expect an overnight miracle — it may take weeks before you spot any improvements.” How do I know which percentage of retinol is best? Sunburn alert: this product may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility to sunburn, use sunscreen as required. Your skin’s trapped in an inflammation cascade (basically like a waterfall that won’t turn off) – this is why you see pimples as red, raised bumps.

Skincare which helps to reverse and rewind like Craig David, can help you battle away acne, spots and pimples. And here’s actives which can help you do it;Salicylic acid– exfoliating active which is especially dissolvable in oil aka can get deep into your pores – where acne is born. Zinc or Zinc PCA as you’ll see it on the ingredient list – both the Revolution Skincare 10% niacinamide serum and the 15% niacinamide serum contain zinc PCA. Zinc helps reduce how oily your skin is. Huzzah. Now on to the elephant in the room: retinol side effects. You might have heard horror stories of burning, stinging and peeling, but if you follow the brand’s instructions and add a decent dollop of patience, you should have nothing to worry about. And if you’re still apprehensive, we'd always recommend starting with a patch test.

They’re over activated by hormones – it’s why for some people the pill or pregnancy can cause dark skin marks. Psst; there are lots of other actives/products which Revolution Skincare make which can help you reverse dark marks, but these 2 are THE ones with best potential to show you fab results. CBD aka cannabidol– IT ingredient of the moment. It’s potently anti-inflammatory aka great for helping irritated and redness prone skin. Exciting, exciting, exciting! Revolution Skincare – it’s the NEW addition to the budget skincare which works family. Because spoiler alert – most skincare actives are pretty, crazy cheap. In fact – it’s the bottle and label printing which is usually THE expensive bit (!)

Formulated with hard-working ingredients, this nourishing cream helps to soothe the under-eye area. Retinol works to help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture and reduce congestion and blemish formation. Caffeine helps to de-puff the undereye area, and Green Tea Extract contains powerful antioxidants which can help nourish the skin. If you’re a retinol novice, you should start with a low-dose serum of around 0.2%, before gradually building up to a 1% formula if your skin gives it the green light. Whatever concentration you opt for, remember to wear sunscreen, as retinol can make your skin more sensitive to dangerous UV rays. This Cream contains 0.1% Retinol which means it can be used in conjunction with other retinol products. Remember to patch test and build your Retinol tolerance. What is retinol? A derivative of vitamin A, retinol has many benefits. It promotes skin renewal, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as dark marks and pigmentation, helps reduce blemishes and is a powerful antioxidant too.

These guys are like the scaffolding network to your skin and when they get damaged/harden/toughen or aren’t replaced enough – your skin gets ‘dimples’– what you’re seeing as fine lines. Vitamin C as sodium ascorbyl phosphate (in Revolution Skincare Dark Spot Corrector)– this active also sometimes has the brand name of STAY-C 50. How covert eh. It’s brightening and gets in the way of your skin making melanin. It’s a protected form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which means it’s a load more stable aka more love/active for your skin. Continue your retinol journey with Revolution Skincare 0.3% Retinol with Vitamins & Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Green tea– you’ll find it as Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract on the label – known to help stop your skin converting androgens into up to 10 times more potent androgens, and you guessed it my friend – androgen hormones cause your skin to pump out the oil like they were firefighters at an Inferno. This Serum conatins 0.2% Retinol which makes it the ideal product to start your Retinol journey with. Remember to patch test and build your Retinol tolerance.
