Paula’s Choice Resist 1% Retinol Booster

Retinol, also known as vitamin A, is one of those hero skincare ingredients which truly works. Around for years, it has plenty of scientific backing, and possesses a gamut of anti-ageing and skin refining qualities, while also helping to improve a loss of firmness in the skin. There are a number of options when it comes to vitamin A skincare products, but one which is super easy to add to your regime is Paula’s Choice Resist 1% Retinol Booster. It’s a lightweight, water-based fluid which delivers a dose of fresh retinol every time you use it, penetrating the skin fast and yet retaining gentle qualities. It can also be layered with your other skincare products, including any serums or moisturisers. You can use it daily, or a couple of times a week depending on how your skin responds, and the formula also contains a lineup of antioxidants and peptides to help your skin to a more youthful look.

All kinds of skin types can benefit from this great product, especially anyone with oily or combination skins which might be prone to breakouts. The formula contains a stable form of retinol, combined with antioxidants, peptides, and willow herb, which soothes the skin and has anti-inflammatory properties. It is lightweight, easy to apply, sinks into the skin beautifully, and has virtually no aroma. For travellers, if you want to pair back your regime, and pack fewer products in your toiletry bag, this can be used as a standalone product with just sunscreen by day, or before applying a moisturiser at night. You’ll also see results quickly, with improved skin texture and refined pores in a matter of days, improving over the weeks as you continue to use it. If you really want to look great before your next trip, start a few weeks before you head out. Paula’s Choice Resist 1% Retinol Booster costs rrp $73 for 15mls (although it lasts a long time) and is available from www.paulaschoice.com.au.
