How can I minimise irritation from retinol?

So. We would like to note at once that for our formulas we have taken encapsulated retinol. This already reduces the aggressive effect as phospholipids ‘drag’ the active into the deep layers, bypassing the dermis. As an effect: our first retinol RETINOL ANTI-AGING SERUM (1.5%) is perfect for beginners ✨


But! There are more tips to make your life on retinol more enjoyable:

  1. Prepare your skin. Often retinol is advised to be applied immediately after washing your face on dry skin. But we recommend not skipping the toning stage, as this prevents moisture from evaporating from the skin, thus avoiding dehydration. Our SUPER HYDRA ENERGY TONER with amino acid complex and REVITALIZING YOUTH TONER with probiotics and panthenol are suitable for this purpose. Wait for complete drying and then apply retinol. 
  1. If you feel that your skin needs super gentle care, you should keep the retinol for 15-20 minutes instead of an hour. The shorter the exposure time of the asset - the more delicate its use will be.
  1. make sure (!) to revitalise the skin! That is, retinol to close the cream - it's a straight base, like brushing your teeth. It is necessary to cover it with components that work with barrier restoration and skin sensitivity reduction: probiotics, ceramides, panthenol, centella.
