Hand Chemistry Retin-Oil 100 ml

Product Information

But it also benefits from many of the same ingredients - hyaluronic acid, retinol, glycolic acid, clay, salicylic acid, essential oils - as well as those such as shea and cocoa butters, which can cause breakouts on the face but are generally fine for use on the body. Skincare that is made for the body often makes claims such as being fat or cellulite-busting that rarely (if ever) stand up to proper testing. Made with organic oils and botanicals to feed and protect skin of all ages, it's an all natural, ultra-pure product you won't want to miss.

Just so long as you're moisturising your body post-shower, it doesn't really matter if you use a body oil or a body lotion.Guerande mixes exfoliating grains of sea salt with almond, olive, peppermint, basil and rosemary oils to leave skin smooth. For a more effective scrub, use it dry and wash off in the bath or shower; more sensitive skins will find it best applied to wet skin, where the warm water provides a little more slip between scrub and skin.

Regarding anti-aging, there is a pretty recent, Estee Lauder sponsored study that compared the in-vitro (not on real human beings but on skin models) collagen-boosting effectiveness of Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, tretinoin, good old retinol and retinyl palmitate(RP). The results are pretty encouraging showing that" HPR had greater levels of gene transcription than retinol and RP (RP) at the same concentrations ... however, HPR did not achieve gene transcription levels of ATRA (tretinoin)." But, a much higher dose might be tolerated from HPR and the highestdose of HPR out-performed tretinoin. Pretty encouraging, though we are very much waiting for a study to confirm all this on real human beings.However, we then like to go a little deeper to explore more detail about the product by looking at products in the same category as The Chemistry Brand Retin-Oil). That then tells us that there are 2335 products in the Cosmetics & Skincare category at lookfantastic UK. Exotic ingredients include sustainably grown and certified organic jojoba, tamanu, olive, avocado and sunflower oils. Good to know: the trade name of HPRis Granactive Retinoid. The manufacturer produces itas 10% active and 90%solvent called dimethyl isosorbide. When a product claims 2% Granactive Retinoid, it means 0.2%Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (and 1.8% dimethyl isosorbide) on the ingredient list. As HPR is pretty new there isn't that much independent research we could findyet. We found two Italian studies both examining the efficacy of HPR combined with other things (retinol in both cases, and papain in one of them) for the treatment of acne. Both studies found the formulas effectivebut they contained other things too, so it's hard to judge how well HPR did.
