How To Break The Ice Between The Skin And Retinol?

Considering how exfoliative a Retinol’s nature can be, it sometimes may not properly gel well with a beginner’s skin, which ultimately results in dryness, redness, flaking and stinging during the initial days of the use. Hence, here are a few tips which can help in getting the skin used to retinol: 

1. Begin by introducing the retinol slowly into your skincare regime: Add a Retinol Serum to your night time routine one or two times per week and increase it gradually from there, depending on how your skin reacts. 

2. Start with a low concentration: A high concentration can actually cause irritation at first, which is why this is imperative. Start with 0.1% retinol and increase the percentage over time.

3. Use the sandwich technique: Ensure that you sandwich a moisturizer or a serum that contains hyaluronic acid between retinol in order to help mitigate the potential drying and irritating effects. 

4. Wear an optimum sunscreen: After the use of retinol, your skin tends to become more sensitive than usual. In order to prevent sun damage, always wear a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF-40 or higher. 

If you’re on the lookout for an effective sunscreen and a retinol in the market, it makes sense to opt for Uniqaya. Uniqaya’s Retinol with encapsulated technology and broad spectrum tinted sunscreen will help you replenish your skin-cell turnover and make your skin baby like!

What Is the Most Effective Form of Retinol?

A retinol is one of the most effective ways to combat the signs of ageing. However, what is the most effective form of retinol? Here is what you need to know to understand the art of using a retinol better: 

1. What is the best percentage of retinol serums to use? While retinol comes in multiple strengths, most common being 0.25%, 0.5%, 1% and 2%. However, if the level of retinol is weaker than 0.25%, it will simply not give you the benefits required. 

What is the strongest form of retinol? 

It usually depends upon where you buy the product from. When we talk about over the counter products, the highest strength is typically 0.5% or 1% in comparison to medical grade products that can reach as high as 2%. The lower levels of retinol usually range around 0.2%. Medium levels of retinol ranges from around 0.5%. High levels of retinol range from 1% retinol. As for deep wrinkles, severe uneven tone and texture can be helped with higher levels of retinol. 

Uniqaya’s Skin Plumping Retinol Face serum is enriched with vitamin E and helps in the reduction of skin wrinkles. It enters the deeper layers of the skin to repair the skin inside out.
