The Power of Retinol

The skincare industry today is focused on anti-aging, whether it is in the form of botox, fillers, or skincare products. Since Botox and fillers can be quite expensive, anti-aging skincare products have become essential. Over the counter serums have found a niche in the skincare industry, but not all available serums are created equal.  It is imperative to find serums with active ingredients that are effective and actually work.  We at MōMISkin have made it our mission to research and create a line of serums that have active ingredients that are powerful and essential and actively work on your skin.  The Power of Retinol: Our Retinol with Bakuchiol serum is gentle, yet extremely effective, to help smooth, exfoliate, and produce elastin and collagen, and essentially helping with fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

What is Retinol ?

Retinol, a type of retinoid, is made from vitamin A. It penetrates deep into the skin where it helps neutralize free radicals and boosts the production of elastin and collagen. This helps to create a “plumping” effect that can reduce the appearance of: 

• fine lines
• wrinkles
• enlarged pores

Simultaneously, retinol exfoliates the skin’s surface which further improves texture and tone.

Retinol is primarily used to treat the following skin conditions:

• fine lines
• wrinkles
• sun spots and other signs of sun damage, sometimes called photoaging
• uneven skin texture
• melasma and other types of hyperpigmentation

However, to achieve the best results from your retinol-containing skin care product, try using it every day. It may take several weeks until you see significant improvements.

Side Effects of Retinol

People who use retinols commonly experience dry and irritated skin, especially after using a new product. Other side effects may include:

• redness
• itchiness
• peeling skin

To lessen these side effects, try using your retinol every other night or every third night, and work your way up to using it nightly.  Another trick is to apply a moisturizer first, creating a barrier, then apply the retinol.  This can help lessen the side effects.

Why Should You Use MōMISkin Retinol?

MōMISkin Retinol contains Retinol GS50 and Bakuchiol making it a powerful combination. The addition of Bakuchiol, a plant based alternative to retinol, allows both ingredients to work synergistically to prevent the irritation often seen with single retinol products. The addition of Hyaluronic Acid in our Retinol Serum is important to help maintain hydration while allowing the powerhouse ingredients to produce maximum benefits to the skin.  In addition, Hyaluronic Acid also helps lessen the side effects, such as burning, redness, itchiness and peeling skin.  It can take upto 8 weeks to see a significant difference, but retinols are clinically known to  have positive effects on both aging as well as acne-prone skin.
