Medicube Deep Vita A Retinol Serum

The fine lines show in morning light, at the corner of the eye and across the forehead. You already know retinol is the answer. What stops you is the story everybody tells about three weeks of flaking skin, and that story is exactly where this serum starts.

A thin 30 ml fluid that sinks in under a minute and leaves no film behind. It belongs to the evening, after the toner and before the cream, and nowhere near a morning.

• Fine lines made shallower to look at: retinol speeds up the turnover of the surface. Week by week the small lines at the eye and on the forehead stop catching the light the way they did.
• A surface that evens out: skin renewing faster renews more regularly. Foundation stops gathering in the same two patches and lies flat across the cheek.
• Suppleness kept while it works: squalane is a fat very close to the one skin makes for itself. It fills in behind the retinol, and that is what keeps the cardboard feeling away.
• Redness held off: niacinamide sits seventh on the list, panthenol a few places below. They look after the comfort while the retinol looks after the years, and dark spots come out looking lighter along the way.

Coco-caprylate and 4-t-butylcyclohexanol sit in the middle of the list, the first for slip, the second for calm. The fluid is fragranced.

Recommended for the first fine lines at the eye and on the forehead, an uneven surface, anyone who has never used a retinoid, and anyone who gave up on one that was too strong.

Step 6 · Serum

in the evening, on skin dried off properly after the toner.

• Two or three drops covers a whole face.
• Press it in with flat hands, then leave it to sink.
• Stay off the moving eyelid, the crease of the nostril and the rim of the lip. Those three react first.
• Put a rich cream straight over the top to cushion the active.
• Keep the bottle in a closed cupboard. Retinol dislikes light and warmth in equal measure.

Two evenings a week for the first two weeks, three once the skin stops noticing, and at that pace one bottle sees out a season. Sunscreen the following morning belongs to the course rather than to your preferences. No source we checked publishes the retinol percentage, and our copy of the composition breaks off partway through, so write to us for what the carton says if that figure matters to you. Retinol is off the table during pregnancy and while nursing, and the Deep Lifting Peptide Eye Cream works on the same fine lines with peptides instead.
