In March 2013, a new European Union (EU) law was fully implemented that made it illegal to sell animal-tested cosmetics in Europe. We are pleased to confirm that we comply to the law and do not test our products on animals, nor do we employ any third parties to do so as this would be breaking the law. Our Retinol Anti-Ageing Reviving Tonic Lotion is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
The Retinol+ collection has been specifically formulated for mature skin with deeper wrinkles which is beginning to lack elasticity. It’s considered a ‘hardcore’ treatment regime to resurface the skin and boost radiance.
Retinol is a type of Vitamin A, which has a lot of benefits for your body. Good vision, it helps to maintain a healthy immune system and promotes cell growth. It is also advised as a treatment for acne and ageing skin.
Sometimes skin needs a little help to look its best. Retinol speeds up cell turnover which means that it facilitates skin renewal. It helps to rejuvenate the skin and leaves it firmer and smoother.
You can find out more about the benefits of Retinol based skincare here.
Boosting the cell turnover for a longer period can make your skin become thinner and irritated as the cells at the surface are younger and more vulnerable.
Therefore, we recommend using Retinol as a treatment for a period of 6-8 weeks a couple of times per year to get the best results.
Retinol leaves your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so you have to protect it more. There would be no point in getting the anti-ageing benefits of a Retinol product, only to have them undone by sun damage. Ideally, go for a sunblock or for minimum SPF 25 as a daily protector, even if it’s not sunny, and avoid sun exposure.
Super Facialist Retinol+ products can be used even if you have sensitive skin as they are dermatologically tested. We simply suggest building up Retinol use slowly to help your skin adapt. You can start using it every third day for a week, then alternate days for a week. You should see the benefits of the Retinol and be able to move to daily use after two weeks.
As your skin will be more vulnerable, don’t forget to apply sunblock everyday and avoid sun exposure.
We recommend checking with a skincare advisor, pharmacist, dermatologist or your GP before using this collection, as we would not recommend using Retinol on a skin condition because it could cause increased irritation.
We can confirm that when used individually, this product is safe to use during pregnancy or when breastfeeding. We would however advise against using more than one product including Retinol at a time, as there is risk of birth defects. We recommend keeping both oral and cosmetic Vitamin A levels to an absolute minimum.
Stephanie Clifford –
I’ve started using this toner every few days as a way of introducing Retinol into my regime. I love the way it makes my skin feel and the addition of the Aloe Vera helps to soothe skin too.
