When it comes to serums, the Regenacalm Serum S1 Pro is brilliant at reducing the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes and acne scars. This powerful serum contains 3% retinoid, which speeds up the renewal of skin cells, leaving you looking youthful and fresh. Alternatively, the Porebright Serum N10 with niacinamide and azelaic acid is great for balancing out your skin tone and reducing redness. We think that the truth lies somewhere in the middle, and we agree with Dr. Baumann's conclusion: " sufficient evidence to establish a causal link between RP and skin cancer has not been produced. Nor, I’m afraid, are there any good reasons to recommend the use of RP". We would addespeciallyduring the day!

Dr. Leslie Baumann wrote a great review of the debate and summarized the research available about retinyl palmitatehere. It seems that there is a study showing RP being photo protective against UVB rays but there is also a study showingRP causing DNA damage and cytotoxicity in association with UVA.

Ingredients

If you suffer from acne, hyperpigmentation or rosacea, the Lumizela Azelaic Acid Serum A15 might be just the thing you need. This formula has impressive results when it comes to evening out skin tone. Or, if you’re looking for something to hydrate dry skin, the Ceraquench Renewal Cream M6 contains ceramides, stabilised vitamin C, retinol and hyaluronic acid which will help do just that. As for the three magic abilities of Vitamin C, we again mostly haveonly the manufacturer's claims, but at least those are very promising. EAC seems to have both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, and it's claimed to be able to boost the skin's collagen production. The strong point of EACthoughis skin brightening. On top of manufacturer claims, there is also clinical in-vivo (tested on real people) data showing that 2% EAC can improve skin tone and whiten the skin. The Face Theory retinol oil blends 2% retinoid and vitamins C and E with a non-comedogenic base to expedite skin cell shedding and renewal. Perfect for acne scars, stretch marks, and other areas of skin discoloration. Suitable for all skin types.

Retin-C Retinol Oil O9 is recommended for application to discolored and scarred areas that require increased cell turnover. Nourishing yet light and dry, it absorbs completely into skin.RETINOL (RETINYL PALMITATE): Retinol has been proven to speed up skin cell renewal, softening fine lines and tightening pores. This product contains retinyl palmitate, a stabilised ester of retinol. Esters of retinol are associated with less sun sensitivity than retinol. However, for a Vitamin C derivative to workit's not enough just to be stable, they also have to be absorbed into the skin and be converted there to pure Vitamin C. We have good news regarding the absorption: on top of manufacturer claims, there is somedata (animal study) demonstrating in can get into the skin, and it seems to be better at it than Ascorbyl Glucoside, another vitamin C derivative.

As we wrote in our lengthy retinol description the problem is that the conversion is not terriblyeffective. The evidence that RP is still an effective anti-aging ingredient is not very strong, in fact, it's weak. Dr. Leslie Baumann in her fantastic Cosmetic Dermatologybook writes that RP is topically ineffective. This gentle yet highly effective formulation delivers all the benefits of retinol without irritation due to the hydrating properties of oil, making it suitable for use on discoloured and scarred areas of the face and body and suitable for all skin types.

Third, jojoba oil moisturizes the skin through a unique dual action:on the one hand, it mixes with sebum and forms a thin, non-greasy, semi-occlusive layer; on the other hand, it absorbs into the skin through pores and hair follicles thendiffuses into the intercellular spaces of the outer layer of the skin to make it soft and supple. What's more, the anti-aging effectiveness is not the only questionable thing about RP. It also exibits questionable behaviour in the presence of UV light and was the center of a debate between the non-profit group, EWG (whose intentions are no doubt good, but its credibility is often questioned by scientists) and a group of scientists and dermatologists lead bySteven Q. Wang, MD, director of dermatologic surgery at Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre. The Dewy Cacay Oil is suitable for all skin types and is ideal for protecting the skin and giving skin a youthful glow. For a great face oil for more mature or sensitive skin, however, the Hydrating Tamanu Oil O5 will be a more logical choice. This oil is perfect for use on eczema or chapped or dry skin, providing hydration as well as helping treat scars, stretch marks and sun damage.
