In Praise Of...Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum
I have a special category for products, like this, products I’m shamelessly in love with. It’s called ‘ I’d drink it if I could’.
I remember the first time I used Super C -Retinol I thought, ‘Where have you been all my life?’. I’m one of those odd beauty editors who can be quite cynical about beauty so for me to say that, is really saying something. Seriously, I was blown away. And I’ll tell you why.
The one ingredient every skin care specialist will tell you we all should be using is Retinol. And they are right. In skincare terms Retinol is a superhero. It smoothes, minimises fine lines, it exfoliates, it brightens dark spots and discolouration and it even treats breakouts. But here’s the thing. Traditional Retinol has a terrifying reputation. It can leave your skin raw, irritated and shedding like an old snake. Some people are okay with that (who are you anyway?!). They think ‘No pain no gain’. But I’m like, no thanks. Why should I suffer in my quest for decent skin? Thankfully this clever formula agrees . It has combined Retinol with Vitamin C (a powerful brightener) to create one of the best serums I’ve ever used. Basically, you enjoy ALL of the benefits of Retinol without feeling like your face is about to fall off. It's helped by the intense brightening boost (from the Vitamin C) and StriVectin's patented form of Vitamin B3. This strengthens the skin barrier and supercharges the performance of all the other ingredients in the formula. So if you are looking for glowy, firmer skin, this is the dream. Now, when you start using this glow- inducing serum, you’ll understand exactly why I love it so much that ‘I’d drink it if I could’.
But please, resist the urge to do that. Just save it for your skin. It'll thank you for it. strivectin.co.uk
