Once in a blue moon, a product will walk into your life, and it’s so good it stays for a lifetime. The Retinol & Lactic Resurfacing Treatment by PureCeuticals is one of those products.
Here’s the deal: The woman behind PureCeuticals is quite simply amazing. Marlene Weber suffered from congested skin in her early 20s, which fueled her passion for skincare. You can read her full bio here, but to make a long story short, Marlene and her products really walk the walk, they’re insanely effective, and feature formulations that can’t be beat.
Big picture: Here’s why I love PureCeuticals:
- No Parabens
- No Sulphates or Phthalates
- No Petrochemicals
- Products not tested on animals – PETA Approved
- 100% Vegetarian
- 98% Certified Vegan – Vegan.org Approved (each product is labeled)
- Fragrance composed with 100% essential oils
- Environmentally Conscience
And it only gets better from there when you talk about specific products. You’ve heard me talk about the power of retinol (and why every skin regimen over 40 needs it), but what sets this product apart is the additional formulations. Cylasphere TM Encapsulated Retinol is paired with 10% Lactic Acid and 5% Glycolic Acid, along with Sea Algae to truly nurture your skin from the cells, out.
Of course, this product won a 2016 Gorgeously Green Beauty Award (Best Retinol Product), and is one that I recommend again and again to clients of all skintypes.
How to use: I apply one or two drops to freshly washed skin every other night (I try not to overly exfoliate before I use the product because your skin may be sensitive afterwards). ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use an SPF the day following treatment, to protect freshly renewed skin.
