If you're looking to supercharge your skincare routine, you'll want to get to know our retinol creams. Hailed as a Holy Grail ingredient in the anti-ageing world for its youth-boosting abilities, retinol offers infinite benefits to your skin. From working its magic on fine lines and wrinkles to evening-out texture and even banishing breakouts, there's little this powerhouse ingredient can't do!
Want to target your delicate eye area? Deliver a shot of age-defying goodness with our retinol eye creams. The Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum and Drunk Elephant A-Shaba Complex Eye Serum are both great options for tackling fine lines, crow's feet and eye bags.
The best time to begin using retinol is in your mid-20s, as this is when your collagen production begins to deplete (the protein that keeps our skin looking plump and youthful). A potent ingredient, retinol comes in different strengths so you can build up your skin's tolerance. If you're just starting out, look for a low percentage such as 0.01% or 0.03% – Neostrata offers a range of formulas so you can work your way up. Start by applying it to your face and neck twice a week, then build it up gradually over time.
Just be sure to avoid using retinol with exfoliating ingredients such as BHAs and AHAs, as these can be too harsh on your skin.
