Best starter Retinol product

57 replies

swimster01 · 15/01/2018 20:04

I was watching the BBC programme about beauty products and the benefits of using Retinol.

Can anyone suggest a good Retinol product to start with? I understand it's better to use a low dosage product (say 1%) and build up gradually.

Thanks

Started 3 weeks ago after watching the program. Went straight for prescription stuff off local aesthetic clinic. £38. About 2 days after application I peel slightly but nothing too bad. Currently doing twice a week but will build up to every other night soon

I started off with a 0.5% retinol and now I’m on 1.0% retinol. My one comes with a buffer cream so I can weaken (use buffer) or strengthen (no buffer). I love it and seen great results. I also have an eye cream with it in too. Amazing program, very interesting.
