Level 03 - Pro Retinol
Vitamine A haal je niet enkel uit voeding!
Characteristics of the skin
You have thinning skin with sensitivities such as red spots, fine lines and reduced discoloration. You are prone to coarse, clogged pores which can cause inflammation and blemishes. As your skin becomes thinner, it is more susceptible to irritation. Therefore, the skin needs softening and brightening.
The skin has reached a level where it is possible to work with other, more intense active ingredients that also stimulate the skin from within.
The Pro Retinol line is specifically designed to reduce wrinkles and blemishes. Retinol (vitamin A) is known for softening fine lines, improving skin texture, reducing discoloration and unclogging pores. Aging skin can also be acne-prone.
Pro Retinol
Retinol is a nice addition in the BITP to work on skin improvement. But be careful. Retinol is a very intense ingredient. It may take your skin some time to get used to it. Notice when using Pro Retinol that your skin reacts irritated? Take a step back and slowly increase the use of Retinol products. Preferably use a cream with at least a factor 30 after a Retinol treatment, such as the SPF 30 cream from our Special Care line.
Contrary to popular belief, Retinol can be combined with AHAs and BHAs. Again with the same side note to always build up carefully. This combination can be a great option when your client's skin is already more accustomed to the Pro Retinol products and you want to build it up further. After all, Retinol is very sensitive to sunlight. Make sure you store the products as much as possible in a cool, dark place.
