Everyone’s talking about retinol, but with so much information out there it’s hard to separate fact from fiction. So, who better to cut through the noise than London-based dermatologist Dr Emma Wedgeworth? Here, Dr. Wedgeworth answers some of the most common questions surrounding this skincare hero, aka the active ingredient in our bestselling Smart Clinical Repair™ Wrinkle Correcting Serum. Read on for our dermatologist’s guide to retinoids.
‘Once you’ve got the basics right in your skincare routine, then it’s super easy to add in your retinoid serum. A lightweight serum like Smart can be used after cleansing, before moisturiser.’
If you're looking for a more targeted approach, try our new Smart Clinical Repair™ AM/PM Retinoid Balm. In an innovative stick format for targeted application, this concentrated retinoid treatment softens and plumps the look of fine, dry lines and targets deeper wrinkles too. It's formulated with plumping hyaluronic acid and 1% retinoid to gently resurface and reduce the look of wrinkles. Like the original Smart serum, it's safe for sensitive skin, dermatologist tested and gentle enough to use twice a day.
Should I only use retinoids at night?
