A few of you have been asking me to recommend a gentle retinol serum to use at night, which will not irritate your skin. Well, my friends, Marie Veronique’s Gentle Retinol Serum is about as good as it gets. Marie is a master formulator and is so up my alley because her products manage to remain clean & green, while being potent in the anti-aging department. This serum is an amazing anti-aging treatment that I simply swear by.
Marie Veronique’s Gentle Retinol Serum combines a gentle form of retinol with a stable form of Vitamin C, and Vitamin E (which not only nourishes and moisturizes, but enhances the effects of the other active ingredients – recent studies tell us that Vitamins A, C, and E work together to support superior collagen-building and antioxidant effects). It’s an outstanding formula because it is all you really need to use at night after cleansing. You won’t get any of the annoying side effects of some retinol formulations, and you get the added C, which helps to build collagen, and build up your skin’s UV protection for the next day.
I use this serum after my evening double cleanse. I apply to a dry face, and allow to absorb before applying my evening moisurizer/nourishing oil.
As is the case with almost all Marie’s formulations, it is scented with a very delicate blend of anti-aging essential oils. I highly recommend this serum!
