One of the most frequently asked questions: mild retinoid serum that is beginner friendly. A word of advice: you don’t always have to start mild. Beginner is not a state of your current skin condition. If you’re used to other active ingredients that are known to cause side effect to skin such as AHA/BHA or Vitamin C, almost safe to say your journey to Retinoid should be smoother. Always patch test you never know whether you have negative reaction toward retinoid or not. Actosome/Encapsulated/Granactive Retinol are all most likely 10% Retinoid and 90% solvent. So in a 1% formulation you will get 0.1% Retinoid hence it’s mild on the skin. The percentage of retinoid doesn’t always make up the result, it’s the whole formulation. That’s why formulation matters! On a skin that has deeper fine lines and start showing visible sagging this concentration might be too small. But it’s a great formulation to start your anti ageing journey for prevention as well for your inbetween more higher concentration retinoid journey. The key is always listen to your skin. #deszellretinol
