#ProtocolLabgiftedme If you’re a retinol geek like me, you know that it’s an incredibly unstable ingredient and that it can be very difficult to get a potent formulation without a prescription. The enzyme-active form of retinol (a.k.a. retinal) is known to be 20x more effective than regular retinol but without the drying and irritating properties the other forms carry. Until now, this potent form of retinol has scared off many skincare companies because of its short shelf life since it’s so sensitive to oxygen and light exposure. Protocol Lab has changed the game by introducing their Enzyme-Active Retinol Serum! With the help of aerospace engineers, they’ve developed a patented packaging that is 100% light-free and oxygen-free in order to keep this potent formulation in its best condition. I can not tell you how much I am IN LOVE with this product! I have never seen faster results from a retinol product before, and it’s gentle enough that I’ve been able to use it every night. My skin appears brighter and more even-toned, feels smoother, and my dark spots have significantly lightened. It helps my skin to feel supple and healthy by promoting cell turnover and collagen production. While I’m still young and am not yet showing many signs of aging, I have noticed that my skin feels firmer and looks younger overall. It should be mentioned that the yellow-orange color of this product does tint the skin a bit during its wear, however since retinol should only be used at night, nobody will see you like this 😂 I found that this tint fades when moisturizer is applied over it and it does wash off when you cleanse the following morning. Overall, I cannot recommend this product more - no matter your skin type! This one is actually worth the price, and a single pump from the bottle is more than enough to cover my whole face and décolleté. Link in bio to purchase.
