Beauty Tips For Body Care
There is not a ton of discussion here about OTC retinol products. I think it's probably because people that really care about them end up eventually moving to tret or adapalene. But I'd love to hear some experiences or reviews of different products if people have them. One thing that's frustrating is that a lot of brands don't disclose the percentage of retinol that they use, which makes it tricky to compare them. And yes, of course they work more slowly and have less research behind them than tret or adapalene. But they can also be good options for people with sensitive or dry skin, either to work up to using tret or instead of it entirely.I'm also looking for a product to try myself (mainly for anti aging, but if it stops my occasional acne I won't complain)! Here are some of the more affordable ones that I'm aware of:CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum and Cerave Skin Resurfacing Retinol Serum$17 for 1 fl ozThese are ones I'm interesting in! But not clear on the difference between them. Does anyone know the concentrations? I couldn't find them on their website.Slightly turned off by the Isopropyl Myristate in the Skin Resurfacing INCI? Pretty irritating and comedogenic, although it's low on the ingredient list.The Ordinary Retinol in Squalane 0.2-1%<$10 for 30 mlThis seems to be a good and popular option! I'm scared to try it because my skin seems to react badly to TO's regular squalane (with irritation, for some reason), but I think it should work for most people.The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2-5%<$10 for 30 mlUnder the impression that there's not much of a point in using granactive retinoid rather than retinol, but would be happy to hear if I'm wrong, or personal experiences.Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Retinol Cream$29 for 1.7 fl ozI think maybe a lot of people are familiar with this product because of Dr. Dray? At least that's how I first heard of it.I would be interested in it, but with fatty alcohol and Ceteareth-20 I really think this will clog my pores.Stratia Night Shift$28 for 1.7 fl ozThis is one of the ones I'm most interested in! I love Stratia and I appreciate that they disclose the 0.15% concentration. I know this is quite low, but I've never used retinol and have dry skin so starting low is okay with me, especially if the rest of the formula agrees with my skin. Would love to hear anyones experiences with this!Inkey List Retinol$9.99 for 30mlI read that this has a ridiculously low concentration that makes it not worth using, like 0.05% or something.I know there are some others at higher price points (Sunday Riley, Murad, etc). I won't bother listing them because I can't spend that much right now, but if anyone wants to share experiences with a higher end product I'd love to hear that as well. Thanks everyone!ETA: Apparently the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol is 0.3%. They don’t disclose the amount in the Renewing Retinol, which makes me assume it’s much lower.
