It’s a lightweight cream, designed for night-time use. It smells pleasant, goes on smoothly and sinks in well, though dryer skins, in particular, will want to follow with a good night cream to hydrate and replenish skin as the retinol formula gets to work. Skin will feel softer and appear smoother and more radiant within three to four weeks. It’s a great part of No7’s range of anti-ageing products. I AM EXPERIENCING SOME IRRITATION WHILE USING THIS RETINOL SERUM, DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS? Start off using it 1-2 times per week and increase gradually if your skin can tolerate more frequent use. If you have more sensitive skin, use Niacinamide before Retinol Serum to help decrease irritation. These side effects (namely dry, flaking skin and moderate irritation) are becoming less prevalent as innovation progresses. The best retinol products on the shelves today use advanced formulations and slow-release encapsulation delivery systems to side-step the irritation caused by an increase in cell turnover. Don’t be put off by the intimidating 6.5% retinol concentration stamped across this bottle – Sunday Riley’s serum is surprisingly gentle on skin.Peptides and their signature blend with hyaluronic acid, colloidal oatmeal, allantoin, aloe, ceramides, vitamin C, and vitamin E Unfortunately, retinol does come with some side effects, though these can be reduced by choosing the right formula for your skin type and applying it properly. You should always introduce retinol tentatively into your skincare routine at first, then build it up slowly as your skin becomes more tolerant. Made in the UK, this indie beauty brand has been making waves across the skincare industry thanks to the A* formulas – and this serum is no exception. There are variations of retinol and also different strengths. If you're just starting out, you should be using a low percentage. La Roche-Posay Redermic [R] is the perfect starting point as it contains a mere 0.3%, so, it's also a good option for people with sensitive skin. The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane is a great contender for newbies, too, plus it's super affordable. It did not dry out my skin at all (probably due to the very high percentage of squalane in the formula) and I even used this around my eyes (with great results, and again - no irritation).

Okay, so this is technically not a retinol product, but hear us out. It features bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol that board-certified dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD explains is a structurally different molecule than retinol, but has a similar collagen-stimulating benefit. It’s a nice alternative for people that are really sensitive to retinol, or those that are pregnant or breastfeeding. WHEN USING WITH OTHER ACTIVE INGREDIENTSWe do not recommend using Retinol Serum and Vitamin C at the same time. It is best to use Retinol in the PM. So, if using a Vitamin C, we would recommend using this in the morning. If you are also using AHAs (Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid or Apple Cider Vinegar), BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acid, C-50 Blemish Treatment) or PHA Toner in your evening routine, and want to add Retinol Serum, we suggest using these on alternate evenings and ensuring you start off slowly to ensure you do not sensitise the skin. What products should I not layer together? >Augustinus Bader's signature TFC8 complex is good on its own – but blended with retinol, it's truly outstanding. The brand's first retinol serum is perhaps its most accomplished formula yet. Containing pure retinol, this creamy serum works brilliantly on everything from fine lines to loss of collagen, but it's especially effective on enlarged pores, active acne and lingering post-inflammatory pigmentation. The addition of anti-inflammatory zinc means anyone with compromised, breakout-prone skin will get on with it well, while biome-building antibacterial extracts prevent future acne lesions from developing. If you’re new to retinol, it’s best to start with a low-concentration product to allow your skin to build up tolerance to the exfoliating effects of the vitamin. This luxury product from skincare specialists Skinceuticals is an excellent introduction to retinol. The retinol is suspended in a moisturising formula, with soothing frankincense to counteract dryness and irritation, and is clinically proven to improve rough skin, fine lines, and dark spots in eight weeks of regular use. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean skin at night, starting twice per week and building up over time to nightly use. Retinol sits between retinaldehyde and retinyl palmitate and so can offer the benefits of a retinoid, with fewer irritating side effects (as long as you build up its use gradually). If you’re looking for a moisturising cream with the added plumping and firming benefits of retinol, Olay’s Regenerist 24 could be just the pot of magic you’re looking for. A nourishing night cream with glycerin, vitamin B3, and retinol, Regenerist 24 is clinically proven to soften and firm the skin, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes. According to Dr. Sturnham, there are several potential problems with a lot of retinol skincare products. “Some brands use basically inert quantities that have no skin benefits, whereas others have such punchy retinoid-based formulations that the risks of side-effects outweigh the benefits,” she says.
