Skincare which helps care best for your dry skin, replaces these essential fatty acids plus helps form a new, protective skin barrier, allowing your own to heal up underneath. Retinol– considered THE gold standard in anti-ageing, this active is a kind of vitamin A which has been proven over and over and over again to help reduce wrinkles, boost collagen production and iron out fine lines. Not bad benefits eh. There’s a whole load more fun here. While The Ordinary are ‘clinical’ Revolution Skincare are like what would happen if you crossed a doctor with a TopShop stylist. This means some Revolution Skincare formulas are not for everyone – for example, some Revolution Skincare products use small amounts of fragrance and essential oils, plus colourants. The Ordinary skincare do not. They are 0% here. Aka experience lines my friend. Be loud and proud about them, and also know it’s A-OK to age gracefully with fine line reversing skincare. It is not a contradiction – why wouldn’t you look after yourself eh. Skincare which helps anti-age or age protect your skin is doing one of 2 things;We loved it. So we asked a specially selected panel of skin enthusiasts* to put our Retinol Serum to the test. Here are the results: Your skin starts losing roughly one percent of collagen (the protein that gives skin its structural support) every year from your mid-twenties. So, it’s recommended that we add a retinol serum to our skincare routine from our late twenties onwards. But fear not, the beauty of this ingredient is that it adds bounce at any age. Is there a downside to retinol? Your skin’s trapped in an inflammation cascade (basically like a waterfall that won’t turn off) – this is why you see pimples as red, raised bumps. Over to skincare guru and Harley Street dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto to explain. “Retinol can cause irritation at first, so don’t go straight into using it nightly,” she says. “Try applying retinol a few times weekly to begin with and see how your skin reacts. If it feels sore, give it a rest, but if it’s ok, you can keep going. Just don’t expect an overnight miracle — it may take weeks before you spot any improvements.” How do I know which percentage of retinol is best?

Formulated with hard-working ingredients, this silky, lightweight oil blend helps to smooth skin tone and texture. Retinol works to help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture and reduce congestion and blemish formation. Grape Seed Oil is easily absorbed by the skin, leaving it feeling softer and silky without feeling greasy. Sweet Almond Oil is rich in Vitamins A, B1, B2. B6 and E, and has a light, non-greasy texture.Ideal for those who have already used retinol and are looking to continue their journey, this serum has a 0.3% pure retinol formulation, an increase from our beginner 0.2% retinol serum.

Copper peptides– ever grow blue crystals as a kid? Copper is the reason why they were blue (!) You’ll find copper in basically every cell of your body (but in tiny amounts because 1) you don’t want to look like a smurf and 2) in large amounts copper is toxic) – copper plays a super important part in skin healing and collagen health and renewal. Knowing this makes it super simple to find age protecting skincare which works – that’s because you now know what an age protecting active needs to do i.e. protect or boost collagen and elastin.While Paula’s Choice use a whole host of partnering actives – and their formula is good – that price difference makes active skincare with huge potential to work, a whole lot more accessible/tryable/loveable to a whole lot more people.

Wherever you see cica on the Revolution Skincare range, you can rest safe and easy that it does contain centella asiatica – the soothing herb with history. Vitamin C as sodium ascorbyl phosphate (in Revolution Skincare Dark Spot Corrector)– this active also sometimes has the brand name of STAY-C 50. How covert eh. It’s brightening and gets in the way of your skin making melanin. It’s a protected form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which means it’s a load more stable aka more love/active for your skin.
