retinol

Retinol is a proven anti-aging ingredient — there’s no question that it softens the appearance of fine lines, reduces the severity of deep wrinkles, smooths the skin and boosts elasticity. But for some, retinol products came with a bit of a smack, a stinging discomfort. Not so with RoC’s new Retin-Ox Wrinkle Correxion lineup, which hit drugstore shelves this month.

Retin-Ox contains a buffered retinol, an encapsulated version that allows for a gradual, bit-at-a-time release to avoid irritation. (Canadian companies Neostrata and Dermaglow also employ buffering technologies with their retinol and glycolic acid skincare.) [geek on]

VichyLiftActivSetSo you’ve heard of retinol and its wrinkle-reducing and collagen- and elastin-boosting abilities. But your kinda sensitive skin keeps whining, “I probably won’t like that. You don’t want to make me sad, do you?”

And maybe you’ve heard of hyaluronic acid and its skin-plumping action thanks to its superhero-like ability to hold 1000 times its weight in water. (Your kinda sensitive skin’s quiet now, right? It makes its own hyaluronic acid, so it’s listening.) [geek on]
