We’re here to let you in on a secret! Vitamin A (AKA Retinol) is the magic, must-have formula in your skincare regime. This ingredient is the gold-standard cosmeceutical in treating anti-ageing and many other skin concerns!
As we age, our skin functions start to slow down, leading to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, pigmentation and less bounce in our skin. Ageing is completely natural however if you are looking for an ingredient to help slow it down, you’ve come to the right place. While we can’t prevent the ageing process, we can help fight against it by incorporating Vitamin A into our routine.
How does it work?
Vitamin A works on multiple areas within the skin, stimulating collagen and increasing cell turnover to reveal radiant and youthful skin. The multi-purpose ingredient is also renowned for its superpowers in regulating your oil production and creating a refined, decongested, and retextured appearance. That’s a thumbs up from us!
It’s easy to get lost in the ingredient jargon or marketing hype, and selecting the correct Vitamin A can be a minefield, so where do you start?
Here at Australian Skin Clinics, we believe in using skincare products with the correct therapeutic dose in all our formulations to ensure potency and efficacy.
