If you’re serious about anti-ageing, then you are already all over retinol. You know that it’s considered one of the gold standard ingredients for skin ageing. You know *all* about its ability to speed up cell turnover, and even out skin tone. You are already hooked on it, and we don’t blame you.
But we have a feeling there are a few more things about retinol that you may not know, but definitely should.
1. You can now find retinol in oil form
We love a good cream or serum, especially when they’re powered by retinol, but we can’t go past a nourishing facial oil in our skincare routine. Combining the pampering nature of an oil with the hardworking properties of retinol, Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair® retinol oil is the vitamin A answer for those who need a more nurturing retinol formula. Without compromising on results. The Rapid Wrinkle Repair® retinol oil helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in as little as one week; with continued use, after just four weeks you can expect to see those stubborn, deep wrinkles improve and pigmentation start to fade.
The oil formula is fast-absorbing, non-greasy, and works while you sleep to nourish and replenish dry skin, while also tackling signs of ageing. So you see a more radiant, younger-looking complexion staring back at you in the mirror each morning.
2. They work even better when you layer retinol formulas
You know what’s better than one retinol product? Yep, two. While you do need to be careful when using retinol – you should always ease your skin into retinol by using it every other day at first and starting with a low concentration of retinol before working your way up to avoid irritation – pairing two retinol products together can fast-track your way to younger-looking skin.
When you pair Neutrogena’s Rapid Wrinkle Repair® retinol oil with the Rapid Wrinkle Repair® regenerating cream, your skin will reap the rewards of 240% more retinol than if you just used the cream alone. And we don’t know about you, but doubling your skincare’s wrinkle-fighting powers sounds like a good time to us.
3. Some forms of vitamin A are stronger than others
Vitamin A comes in a lot of forms and strengths. Retinyl palmitate is a good place for retinol beginners to start, but if you’re all about the end game (read: less wrinkles and youthful skin), then Retinol SA is for you. It features a sustained action that works to continuously renew the look of skin throughout the day. Found in all of Neutrogena’s Rapid Wrinkle Repair® products, Retinol SA is scientifically proven to be superior to other forms of vitamin A in its ability to provide benefits.
