L’Oreal Paris Retinol & Niacinamide Night Cream, Revitalift Laser Pressed Cream, For Smoother Skin, 50ml

Product Information

RevitaLift Bright Reveal Peel Pads are a dermatologist inspired anti-wrinkle plus brightening treatment. The pads are formulated with glycolic acid, a powerful alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells that make up the top layers of skin) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, brighter skin. Glycolic acid has also been found to stimulate collagen production, as well as boost skin hydration. It is considered to be a gold standard in brightening. RevitaLift Bright Reveal Peel Pads can be used daily to resurface dull, uneven tone and rough texture to reveal fresh looking skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles over time. L’Oréal Paris' Laser X3 Retinol + Niacinamide Pressed Night Cream contains Retinol and may cause initial redness, tingling or dryness. Your skin will need time to get used to this powerful ingredient. It is recommended to introduce this pressed cream gradually.

The light cream glides on skin easily and the texture means a very little goes a long way – so in terms of price point, this is a winner. Obviously, there is no laser device within this cream — I believe it is referring to the effects a laser has on your face, which in the world of skincare means making it more firm, less wrinkly and less red. And this cream does all that. As goes with all active skincare, you should start slow and work your way up. Going too hard and fast with retinol use can lead to negative side effects, like flakiness and irritation.description":"So, if you’ve ever wondered what glycolic acid could mean for your skincare routine, read on and discover more about beauty’s best love molecule."

Retinol comes in strengths ranging from 0.0015% to 1% or higher. Many creams fall in the middle of this range, at around 0.1% to 0.3%.

L'Oreal Retinol Night Cream review: full review

There are tons of anti-aging skin care ingredients out there, but retinol is consistently lauded as one of the most potent. If you’re looking to combat signs of aging and fine lines, you may have even already considered adding a retinol cream or serum to your skin care routine. While it would be nice to see your desired results overnight, it’s simply not possible. Just like any other skin care product or routine, when using vitamin A cream you need to give your skin time to see improvements. So, stay consistent, and you’ll see the benefits. As for exactly when you can expect results, that may vary from product to product and person to person. There are many different forms of vitamin A available, which is where a lot of the confusion comes in. Retinoids is the umbrella term used to describe the pure retinoic acid and all of its derivatives, including retinol, retinal and retinyl palmitate. It’s important to note that retinol can make your skin more sensitive to sun exposure. You may burn more easily, which can lead to more skin damage. Although it might sound like a stronger formula with a higher percentage of retinol would be more efficacious, that’s not always the case. “With retinol, we’re always balancing strength, efficacy, with the potential of retinol to irritate the skin,” explains Dr. Mikailov, “In terms of drugstore retinol, we find that retinol can be effective at multiple concentrations.” He says that “while retinol creams with higher concentrations (0.2 percent or more) worked faster, at the end of 6 months, retinol creams at various concentrations, including below 0.2 percent, also had great benefits.” Look for keywords like "gentle" and "non-irritating" on the label.
