![]() ![]() As with Niacinamide, topical retinoids - as all derivatives of Vitamin A are referred to - can even minimize the appearance of pores and defend skin against aging environmental damage. Among them are the smoothing of lines and wrinkles, potent antioxidant defense and visible skin firming. Like Vitamin C and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), the Vitamin A derivative has multiple pro-skin health, anti-aging benefits. It’s commonly accepted that Retinol and retinoids, more specifically, are the gold standard in anti-aging. What Is Retinol and What Does Retinol Do for the Skin? (Psst…I’ve reviewed it on the blog here.) Much like the Paula’s Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster is my OG Niacinamide serum - and perhaps the best anti-aging serum ever. To me, that’s the OG of Retinol products. My first real experience with Retinol was the Paula’s Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment. If you’re curious about each of these, you can catch part one here though the information on the various forms of retinoids, their differences and benefits is the same in parts one and two. ![]() It’s an extraordinary skincare formulation that you don’t want to miss! And, another Retinol-Bakuchiol combo, The Clinical Beauty’s 0.3% Retinol and 3% Bakuchiol Creamserum. For sensitive skin types, there’s First Aid Beauty’s FAB Skin Lab Retinol Serum 0.25% Pure Concentrate. The first five recos included the Wander Beauty Do Not Disturb Overnight Repair Concentrate, the Paula’s Choice 0.3% Retinol + 2% Bakuchiol Treatment and Paula’s Choice Ceramide-Enriched Firming Eye Cream - one of the best Retinol eye creams I’ve come across. In part one, I reviewed the gentler five of my top ten recommendations, including two innovative face creams that combine Retinol with Bakuchiol. ![]() That first piece was titled, Retinol, Retinoids, Retinoic Acid Part One: Best Retinol Serums, Best Retinol Creams From Paula's Choice, Wander Beauty And First Aid Beauty. So, it’s taken me a long time, over an arduous journey, to arrive at a collection of what I truly consider the best retinol face creams, best retinol serums and even the best eye creams with retinol that I felt comfortable enough to recommend. I use “favorite” loosely as I’m not the biggest fan of Retinol to begin with. Two weeks ago, I pushed past my limits to craft the first of two long deliberated upon articles on my favorite Retinol products. You can still catch the full piece here. moment was not paid or sponsored in any way, so do with that information what you will.This review was originally part of my blog article titled, Retinol, Retinoids, Retinoic Acid Part One: Best Retinol Serums, Best Retinol Creams from Paula's Choice, Wander Beauty and First Aid Beauty. This might be a teeny bit aggressive if you’re not used to using retinoids, but this one claims to not cause irritation. Kim clearly knows her stuff because she recommends no fewer than three retinol products on the list, including these Shiseido eye masks ($65). Retinoids (learn about about them here) are almost universally recommended by dermatologists for improving skin texture and fine lines. ![]() The other products on her list, which you can see over at People in case you, uh, let your subscription to her app lapse, include a $360 La Mer serum. Yesterday Kim Kardashian proclaimed the brand’s Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion ($9.80) one of her favorite products for “ slowing the aging process.” Despite the fact that she maybe doesn’t realize that we’re not calling things anti-aging anymore, this is a notable callout if for no other reason than it is affordable. And I think the retailer should brace itself for another sell-out. In fact, it’s currently sold out at Sephora, where The Ordinary launched last month. The Racked team frequently bemoans the unavailability of the brand’s niacinamide and zinc formula, which is its most popular product. ![]()
