There’s a new kind of “retinol” on the scene, which is showing very promising results. It’s called Retinyl Retinoate, and it might be even more effective that pure retinol at keeping the skin plumped up by way of helping it to produce hyaluronic acid. The other great thing about this ingredient is that unlike retinol, it doesn’t have any side effects such as irritation and peeling.
I’ve been a fan of Mad Hippie from the get-go because not only are all their ingredients clean and green, but they are also really good value for money.
This wonderful serum also contains the following anti-aging ingredients:
