Could this be a game changer for skin?

Could this be the best of both worlds?

Many people use lotions and potions with retinol in them for acne, wrinkles, sun damage, enlarged pores and more.

As a prime exfoliator, retinol increases skin turnover, continually sloughing off dull cells and revealing healthy, more radiant skin below.

However, we also know retinoic acid can often cause irritation, usually in the form of redness or scaling.

Gillian McMahon, Key Skincare Trainer at NeoStrata explained the issue: "Potent Retinol Complex is ideal for those who want the powerful anti-ageing benefits of retinol while minimising the potential for irritation that’s associated with traditional retinol formulas”.

NeoStrata has said that its Potent Retinol Complex (30ml, €64.95) is a next-generation formula with all the potent benefits of retinol, while helping minimise irritation with nourishing and hydrating ingredients.

Its active ingredients include 0.3% pure retinol to increase skin turnover and target collagen production.

It contains niacinamide to reduce the appearance of age spots.

To combat irritation, NeoStrata have included Tigergrass, a botanical antioxidant that could helps to sooth and balances reactive dehydrated skin, and hyaluronic acid, a potent humectant that delivers plumping hydration.

Retinol products can still make the skin more sensitive to the sun, so always apply it at night, and in the morning, follow your normal skincare routine but make sure to add sunscreen.
