Votre Peau - skinxavior review for Retinol Serum Concentrate

Although the title is "Retinol Serum" but actually the main ingredient of the product is Retinyl Palmitate, a derivative of Retinoid as well. The packaging is made of dark glass and consists of 2 variants, 10 mL with a pipette and 30 mL with pump packaging like mine. ⁣ In addition to containing Retinyl Palmitate, this product also contains Ceramide which can moisturize, hydrate, tighten, and make the skin more supple. Actually our skin can produce Ceramide itself. But as we get older and also the influence of lifestyle, the quantity and quality of Ceramide in the skin will also decrease so we need help from skincare products. ⁣ Claims: Retinol 1% helps regenerate skin, reduces wrinkles, smoothes, and reduces blockages of blackheads. Good for use as an anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, and acne-prone skin treatment. Enriched with ceramides, this formula softens skin, reduces skin dryness, and leaves skin soft and moisturized ⁣ Suggested use: This serum is only for use at night. For beginners who are just starting to use retinol, it is recommended to start with a low intensity, 2 times a week for example. And used without adding other actives first to avoid irritation. If the skin has started to get used to Retinol, it can be increased to 3 times a week and even every night ⁣ In my opinion, this Votre Peau serum is suitable for beginners who are just starting to try retinol. On my skin, this serum is very mild. Even if I combine it with other actives like AHA or BHA it doesn't give bad reaction to my skin. The texture is a bit thick, absorbs quickly, the color is milky white, slightly yellowish. I use it every night for 3 months, the most noticeable effect on my skin is plump and radiant. The skin texture becomes smoother, and more moist. And if you have acne, this product makes your acne calm down faster.
