L’Oreal Paris Retinol & Niacinamide Night Cream, Revitalift Laser Pressed Cream, For Smoother Skin, 50ml

Product Information

Retinoids come in a range of strengths, from very low at 0.1%, to high, at 2%. When getting started, it's best to lowball, in case you are sensitive to the active ingredient. Slow and steady is always the best approach, because the lower the percentage, the lower the risk of dryness and peeling. L’Oréal Paris' Laser X3 Retinol + Niacinamide Pressed Night Cream contains Retinol and may cause initial redness, tingling or dryness. Your skin will need time to get used to this powerful ingredient. It is recommended to introduce this pressed cream gradually. Limit sun exposure, always use sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and wear protective clothing and accessories outdoors. Newbies should start using retinol once a week on freshly-cleansed skin, then slowly work up to once every other day.

So the best practice is to remain patient – you won't see results instantly, but stay loyal to it and a softer and brighter complexion will soon come.

Begin by applying your retinol face cream every other day or every third day and build up to a higher frequency if your skin can handle it. Using retinol safely also includes following up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more. Retinol use can increase your skin’s sun sensitivity, so it’s crucial to take proper sun protection measures, as directed by the AAD. My brown sun skin spots were lighter, making my complexion more even-toned. What’s more, I suffer from very tight dehydrated skin and this worked as one of the best moisturisers by far.While it would be nice to see your desired results overnight, it’s simply not possible. Just like any other skin care product or routine, when using vitamin A cream you need to give your skin time to see improvements. So, stay consistent, and you’ll see the benefits. As for exactly when you can expect results, that may vary from product to product and person to person. Talk with your dermatologist about ingredients to look for or avoid. How different additives affect skin will vary from person to person. id": "https://www.lorealparisusa.com/beauty-magazine/skin-care/skin-care-essentials/best-retinol-creams", Pro-Xylane is a patented L’Oreal ingredient, also known as hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol. It is a sugar-protein hybrid made from xylose, a monosaccharide (sugar) derived from wood. Pro-Xylane is a biomimetic, which means it mimics biochemical process. Specifically, Pro-Xylane stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the skin. GAGs are long, unbranched polysaccharides consisting of repeating disaccharide units. They are responsible for supporting the structural proteins collagen and elastin, as well as functioning as the skin’s natural moisturizer. Research has determined that aged skin contains less GAGs than young skin, which is one reason skin loses hydration, resilience, and firmness over time. Thus, by stimulating the production of GAGs, Pro-Xylane helps to keep skin hydrated and firm. As goes with all active skincare, you should start slow and work your way up. Going too hard and fast with retinol use can lead to negative side effects, like flakiness and irritation.

Your dermatologist can confirm whether you’re a good candidate for retinol creams at all since they may be too rough on sensitive skin or conditions like eczema and rosacea. Once you’ve gotten the all-clear, consider the following factors when shopping. ConcentrationRetinol and related vitamin A derivatives have traditionally had a bad reputation for causing redness, dryness and flaking,' says Dr Kluk. With every product's development overseen by a team of scientists, biologists, pharmacists, biochemists and chemists, you can be assured that it is first-class skincare. While there are some photostable formulas out there, when it comes to using a retinol serum in the daytime, there’s not actually much point as it's photosensitive and breaks down in the sunlight. It's best used at night, after cleansing but before your evening moisturiser.

As someone who is very sensitive to smell, I don’t like my skincare products to be too overbearing but this scent is divine. It has a very light and refreshing fragrance that left my hands smelling good too. Dr Goldfaden also notes that as retinol stimulates the growth of new skin cells, it's likely to make you more susceptible to sun damage. It’s therefore vital to exercise safe sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum SPF. In addition to doing your research on the retinol creams out there, keep your budget in mind. You likely won’t want a product that will break the bank, especially if you’re unsure how your skin will respond to it. Don’t forget to do a patch test when testing it out to confirm that it’s a good match. To do a patch test, you’ll apply a small amount of the cream on the inside of your wrist and wait 24 hours. If you notice any signs of irritation or an allergic reaction — like swelling or a rash — do not continue using the product. CostL’Oreal uses hyaluronic acid in several REVITALIFT products, including a concentrated form of hyaluronic acid in the REVITALIFT Derm Intensives 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Hyaluronic acid is a type of glycosaminoglycan (sugar molecule) that attracts moisture from the environment and draws that moisture into the skin’s upper layers. In fact, hyaluronic acid has the ability to attract and hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. By improving the skin’s moisture retention, hyaluronic acid provides a plumped up, bouncy complexion. Where is L’Oréal REVITALIFT sold? Although it might sound like a stronger formula with a higher percentage of retinol would be more efficacious, that’s not always the case. “With retinol, we’re always balancing strength, efficacy, with the potential of retinol to irritate the skin,” explains Dr. Mikailov, “In terms of drugstore retinol, we find that retinol can be effective at multiple concentrations.” He says that “while retinol creams with higher concentrations (0.2 percent or more) worked faster, at the end of 6 months, retinol creams at various concentrations, including below 0.2 percent, also had great benefits.” Look for keywords like "gentle" and "non-irritating" on the label. Since topical retinoids increase the skin cell turnover of the skin, they increase the glow and smoothness of the skin,” she says. “Moreover, topical retinoids can also help penetration of other active ingredients like topical lightening creams.” In our opinion, L’Oréal products deliver value for money, but take a look at other brands that don’t require you to sacrifice your precious money.
