if your retinOL isn't doing enough, sorry to tell you it's because it isn't retinAL. ONE extra conversion step to 11x faster results and less waiting around. #Medik8Partner #retinal #retinol #antiaging #darkspots @Medik8 Derm explains: RetinOL vs RetinAL Retinol has to convert twice before your skin can even use it. But retinal converts only once, and that's one step closer to the active. That's why it works up to 11 times faster. And I've been recommending it as a dermatologist for so long. Medik8's Crystal Retinal is a retinaldehyde and it's clinically proven to smooth stubborn wrinkles, brighten dark spots and firm the skin within one tube. 9 out of 10 agree this is the best anti-aging serum they have ever used. This is a British clinical skincare brand that formulates in-house and is distributed to 7,000 clinics worldwide. So it's not skincare derm people trust. What separates them? Progressive strengths. Six progressive strengths. From 0.01% to 0.24% retinaldehyde. So if you've never used retinol before, start with Crystal Retinal 3. But if you're already on retinol and your skin can handle it, start at six. You climb as your tolerance builds. To my knowledge, nobody else does this. Do two pumps for your face and neck with moisturizer after. And you know the drill, but every morning, follow with an SPF. Your retinol isn't just bad, it's just slower than it needs to be.
