Review: A time machine in a bottle. - I did a lot of research before purchasing this product. I first heard about “Avene - RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream” on YouTube. Most of the information that I’ve gleaned came from dermatologist, not self-proclaimed skincare gurus just trying to make a buck. Through dermatologists like “The Budget Dermatologist” I learned a lot about the science behind Vitamin A (retinol) and its natural derivatives such as retinaldehyde, retinoic acid, and retinyl esters, as well as a large number of synthetic derivatives. This particular product is a retinaldehyde, which converts directly into retinoic acid within the skin, bypassing the slower, two-step process required by traditional retinol. With consistent proper use, this can lead to quicker and more pronounced results. However, time and consistency is key. I read that it takes about eight months to start seeing real results and I found that to be true. I’ve been using this product for exactly one year now and I really started noticing a big difference around the eight month mark. My complexion is smoother and my skin more plump. I’ve also noticed diminishing of my fine lines and wrinkles. For reference, I’m female and at the time of this review 42 years old. I keep my skin care routine simple. Many of the dermatologist that I’ve follow say’ “less is more”. I learned that you only need to apply a pea size amount to your whole entire face, which is roughly one pump. Vitamin A can be very drying and harsh on the skin, so easing into using this product is important. However, I have extremely rosacea prone, sensitive skin and I have had no problems whatsoever with this product. Every day I wash my face with a gentle face wash then I evenly apply one pump of “Avene -RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream” all over my face and follow up with a gentle moisturizer. It is important to note that you should let the “Avene - RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream” soak in and fully dry before adding your moisturizer or any other product. If you have really sensitive skin, you could always try the layering method. That is where you add a light layer of moisturizer before applying the “Avene - RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream” and then layer on another light layer of moisturizer. But if you do this, make sure that you allow each layer to fully soak into the skin and dry before applying a layer. You can also use this product on your neck and hands, but following the advice of “The Budget Dermatologist” i’ve been using “Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Cream, Fragrance Free” on my neck and hands in order to maximize my cost savings. This Neutrogena product is also gentle, effective but considerably more cost-efficient. However, I have learned that the “Avene - RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream” does go on sale from time to time (mainly around holidays) but the sales are a few and far between. I keep an eye on the price and order when it goes on sale to keep my supply stocked. Because remember, consistency is key with any long-term skin care routine. I hope this information helps. I was not paid for this review.
