It’s no secret that Retinoids are the Cosmetic Chemists “Go to” ingredient when formulating targeted skin care to address the most persistent of skin challenges like wrinkles, dark spots, open pores, uneven texture and even acne. For this reason, many skin care enthusiasts include Retinol in their skin care regime.
A mixed reputation
Applying Retinoids is a much-coveted step in many people’s skin care routines and for a good reason, sadly, there are those who’s skin just can’t tolerate it. This is because Retinoids require masterful formulating and come with their own set of rules, and if not followed correctly, they can result in redness, irritation and flaking skin. When used correctly, Retinoids can bring incredible and rapid results. It all comes down to formulation and prescription.
Formulation – does it really matter?
Absolutely! Not all Retinoids, which include Retinol, are created equal. The many forms of Vitamin A make up the family of ingredients categorised as Retinoids, and each has its own personality. Some are mild and gentle, others more potent and fast acting. Getting the chemistry right is critical in not only the form of Retinoid(s) to be used, the means they’re to be delivered into the skin and how they synergistically work with and support other ingredients within the formulation.

- How to use Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum
- Retinol should only be used in your night-time skincare routine. On clean skin, ideally, after toning, apply a thin layer of Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum over your face, approximately 1 pump, and massage into the skin, avoiding the delicate eye and lip area – AGE Reversal Eye Complex is our recommended Retinol treatment for the eyes. After applying the serum, follow with your moisturiser.
- Since Retinol helps to accelerate cell turnover, it’s imperative to wear an SPF during the day. Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50 is a hydrating moisturiser and sunscreen in one that partners perfectly with Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum, helping protect and preserve both results and the health of the skin.
