RetinART® vs. Retinol - Your Guide

At Apeer, we strive to ensure that your skincare routine is easy and transparent. We do this, among other things, by guaranteeing that our products exclusively contain ingredients that create results for your skin. Therefore, we would like to share some extra tips on how you can add retinol to your skincare routine and achieve optimal benefits for your skin.

Disclaimer: At Apeer, we want to emphasize that we do not recommend the use of Retinol for children and pre-teens. Retinol is an active ingredient designed to treat age-related skin problems in adults. Because children's skin is more sensitive and still developing, the use of Retinol can potentially be harmful or irritating to their skin.  

Retinol – A well-known skincare favorite  

Retinol is known for its proven benefits, but introducing and using it correctly can make a crucial difference for your skin. Here are some tips you might consider:

1. Start Gradually: Begin by using Retinol products a couple of times a week. This gives your skin time to get used to the retinoid without over-stressing it.
2. Adjust to Skin's Reaction: Observe your skin carefully. If you experience any irritation such as redness or dryness, reduce the frequency of Retinol use for a few days until your skin adapts.
3. Use Sun Protection: Since Retinol can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, it is crucial to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning. This protects your skin from sun damage and prevents premature aging.
4. Best in the Evening: For optimal results and less risk of sun damage and skin irritation, it is always recommended to use skincare products containing retinol or vitamin A in your evening routine.
5. Add Moisture: Retinol can be drying to the skin, so include Apeer's nourishing moisturizer in your routine to maintain skin hydration and minimize potential dryness or irritation.

RetinART® – The next generation of retinol

If you've already stepped into the future with our Lift series with RetinART®, then kudos to you! For those exploring RetinART® for the first time, here are some tips:

1. Daily Use: Apeer's Lift series with RetinART® is formulated for daily use, morning and evening. Its advanced composition means you can integrate it effortlessly into your daily skincare routine.
2. Adding to Existing Routine: If you already use Retinol, you can benefit from supplementing with RetinART® for a deeper and more comprehensive rejuvenation. You can, for instance, use your retinol product in the evening and the RetinART® product in the morning.
3. Examine Skin's Reaction: Although RetinART® is designed with a focus on minimal irritation, you should still monitor your skin's reaction and adjust use accordingly. This applies to all new skincare you introduce to your routine.
4. Continue Sun Protection: Despite the fact that RetinART® does not cause UV sensitivity, sun protection is still key to healthy skin. You could use our Lift Day Cream with SPF20, which is both a nourishing and protective day cream.
