Hi :)

Just after some recommendations on which one is the best to buy.
I've got lots of fine lines so wanting to limit them getting worse if I can!

Thank you,

Smile

I like the nip & fab no needle fix night cream. I'm not sure how much retinol is actually in it but it makes my face look nicer.

Elmo311 · 18/09/2019 19:45

Thank you, I've used their products before but not noticed a difference x

Do Vichy do one? I watched a Nadine Baggot clip on youtube OP.

She has loads of helpful clips on youtube, about vitamin c as well. A few times I've asked her a question and even though she uploaded the clips ages ago, she has answered really helpfully! Take a look at this

I’ve started using this

FB40 gives you 40% off your first order.

Look at Caroline Hirons on YouTube or her website. She has masses of info on retinols and recommendations on where to start.
I have found the Indeed Labs retinol to be a good starter, also The Ordinary.

I love my Paula's Choice retinol (found via Caroline Hiron's mentioned above). I had some head shots done recently for work and they thought I was early 30s when I am nearly 40 so yay! I do use other acids in my routine though.

Paula's choice 1% retinol. Start to use it once a week for a few weeks and then go up from there. SPF 50 EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Elmo311 · 19/09/2019 07:11

Thank you everyone !

Retinol Reface by Indeed at boots is lovely and you can see a difference

PichmondRark · 19/09/2019 13:31

Paul’s Choice products are all amazing. Love my retinol from them.

31RueCambon75001 · 19/09/2019 18:20

Where do you buy Paula's choice?

MelanieFrontage · 19/09/2019 22:51

I use Medik8 Crystal Retinol 6. It’s expensive but I do feel that it has made a difference even though I’m not religious in applying it every other day.
Once this tube has run out I’m going to up to strength 10.

MelanieFrontage · 19/09/2019 22:54

Sorry it’s retinal as opposed to retinol which I understand is a newer solution and more effective, that said my husband believes that I’m a marketing’s persons dream so who knows 😂

JoanieCash · 19/09/2019 22:54

melanie am newly converted to medik8 products from my salon, and also just started with a retinol. Am really pleased with it but So expensive though!

Ohyesiam · 19/09/2019 22:57

The ordinary. I’m early 50s and lots of people have told me I look radiant since I started using it.

MelanieFrontage · 19/09/2019 23:03

Joaniecash its hideously expensive! But the retinal is the only product of theirs that I use, I’ve just ordered some The Ordinary Vit C and my go to Hyalruonic acid is Niod, BHA is Paula’s Choice.
Jeez, I AM a marketing persons dream 😆

AHA not BHA
