Hallo skincare lovers! As someone who loves discovering new beauty and skincare products, I'm always looking for new products on my skin to improve it, lately my focus is on retinol, because I noticed that it was popping up more and more in skincare products and promising results. You may have seen this yourself passing by on instagram or tiktok. So, as a skincare enthusiast and someone who happens to work for Fragrantly, I wanted to delve deeper into this wonderful substance and discover what it has to offer next.
Let me start with the fact that I am not a professional, but I have a lot of interest in skincare. And so I have found that adding retinol into your skincare routine can have huge benefits for your skin, but I am not the only one who finds this. Why do all beauty experts talk so enthusiastically about retinol and what is retinol anyway?
Retinol is a form of vitamin A1 that has been used in dermatology for years because of its proven benefits for the skin. And is also used in many skincare products because of its amazing benefits to the skin. It is known for its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve the texture of the skin while also addressing acne. That sounds like a miracle cure, right? Well, I thought so too, but then I wanted to know how it is that retinol works so tremendously effectively.
What really fascinated me was the fact that retinol works at the cellular level. It stimulates the production of collagen, a protein responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. When you also consider that collagen declines as we age, it's no wonder that retinol is considered an anti-aging wonder drug.
What is also immediately noticeable is that there is a tremendously versatile range of retinol products. There are creams, serums and even cleansers infused with this powerful substance. For someone who is always looking for ease of use, this was a huge plus. I chose a retinol serum from Fragrantly, because then I don't make my routine in the evening too long.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH RETINOL
Now, let's talk about my experience with retinol products from Fragrantly. In the evening, at the end of my skincare routine, I use about 3 drops of the night renewal for all over my face and neck. For me the texture was hugely surprising, I was expecting something thick and heavy but it felt hugely light on my skin. What I noticed was that after several weeks of using retinol products, my skin felt smoother and softer. I also noticed that my acne decreased significantly. Another thing I noticed was that my complexion became more even. I myself have always suffered from red spots and small irregularities on my skin, but the retinol products from Fragrantly they seemed to fade away. It's like my skin got a photoshop effect, but without the obvious filters. So in conclusion, my skin seemed more even and radiant, I even got compliments from friends about my ' natural glow'.
Of course, what is also known about retinol other than the positive side are the side effects. I have heard about things like irritation, redness and flaking. And so I must honestly admit that I have experienced this myself mainly the redness and irritation. But here's the thing: it's all part of the process. My skin seemed to protest for a while at the beginning against this new powerful friend, but after a few weeks of use everything calmed down. What helped me tremendously was especially in the morning a good moisturizer use to keep my skin hydrated and then also combat any dryness.
So, as someone more interested in the world of skincare than in understanding the scientific formulas behind it, I can confidently say that retinol really does seem to do something magical for my skin. It's like an upgrade to my daily routine, with a touch of luxury thanks to Fragrantly's products. So, if you're looking for a way to boost your skin, consider retinol. You'll be amazed at the changes and then what it can do for your skin!
