What are the symptoms of retinol intolerance? Recommended super useful retinol skin care products

Women who want to fight against early aging can choose skin care products containing retinol, which can effectively fight wrinkles and tighten the skin. There are thousands of retinol skin care products on the market. Which one is the best? Next, I will recommend you several products that I have personally tested and found to be effective. Let’s take a look.

What are the symptoms of retinol intolerance?

Retinol is an acidic ingredient, so it may cause allergic reactions in some people with intolerant skin. The following intolerance symptoms may occur:

1. Redness and stinging of the skin over a large area

2. Extremely sensitive, any skin care products will cause a burning sensation

3. Dryness and peeling, peeling that cannot be suppressed by any moisturizing products

Recommended super useful retinol skin care products

For sisters with mature skin who want to fight against aging, it is time to start using the super easy-to-use retinol products. The earlier you use them, the earlier you can prevent and fade the fine lines that have already formed. Let’s take a look at what good stuff there is.

1. Elizabeth Arden Elizabeth Arden Time Renewal Night Multi-Effect Capsule Essence

Girls who are afraid of allergic reactions to retinol can try Elizabeth Arden's powder gel, which contains ceramide. While retaining the powerful anti-wrinkle effect of retinol, it also has the effect of moisturizing and repairing the skin's natural barrier, thus preventing dry and sensitive skin.

Capsule packaging can ensure that retinol will not decompose and oxidize to the greatest extent. The texture of the essence is thick and a little greasy. It is absorbed quickly on the face and has a silicone feel but it is within an acceptable range. You can see the effect after using just one pill. When you wake up the next day, your skin will be particularly delicate and smooth, and your pores will have become much smaller.

2. Algenist Firming and Lifting Retinol Serum

This product is also a best-seller at Sephora. It is added with ingredients such as peptides, green algae, and double polysaccharide acid, which can enhance the anti-aging effect of retinol. Its texture is very gentle and can be used even for sensitive skin that does not have tolerance.

The essence has a refreshing lotion texture. It does not feel greasy on the face at all and is absorbed very quickly. It is not a burden to use on oily and acne-prone skin. The moisturizing effect is average. It may cause dryness after use. People with dry skin should pay attention to subsequent hydration and moisturizing.

3. PAULA'S CHOICE Retinol Essence

This product contains 1% retinol, which is a relatively high concentration. It is recommended to add it to other essences or creams for use together. Use it once every three days at the beginning, and increase the frequency of use after tolerance is established.

The essence is a light yellow liquid, spreadable and slightly greasy. When used alone, there will be a noticeable tingling sensation on the face, but the effect is really obvious, and fine lines can basically be smoothed out.

4. CPB Skin Key Firming and Anti-Wrinkle Essence Eye Cream

The CPB 4D series has been well received since its launch, and recently a new eye cream was launched. It also uses the exclusive 4D firming and lifting technology, combined with powerful retinol, to improve fine lines around the eyes, eye bags and sagging.

The texture of the eye cream is close to a paste, it is thick and very moisturizing, and is more suitable for dry skin. After use, the dry lines around the eyes can be smoothed instantly. Persistent use can improve the drooping outer corners of the eyes. This series also has eye masks, and the effect will be better if you use them together.
