Reintroducing retinol was at the top of my list and @elizabethardenanz Retinol + HPR Ceramide Rapid Skin-Renewing Water Cream has been the perfect start. HPR (Hydroxypinacolone retinoate) is a next generation retinoid providing 10x the potency of pure retinol, while being gentle on your skin. Admittedly I was prepared for a very cautious trial over the past few weeks as my skin still has some lingering sensitivities, but it is so gentle I have easily incorporated this cream into my routine every single night in the past two weeks. With ingredients to hydrate and protect your skin barrier like peptides, phytoceramides, and hyaluronic acid, it is designed to soothe and strengthen the skin, while the Retinol and HPR help retexurise, target wrinkles, and pigment. I’m already noticing improvements in my skin, as it effortlessly hydrates and plumps up some of the fine lines I started collecting over the past few months of dry skin. As with all Retinols, SPF is a must during the day (but let’s be real its a must every and any day). AlwaysArden Retinol+HPRCeramide ElizabethArdenanz LTKskincare LTKbeauty LTKaustralia
