HERE YOU WERE WAITING FOR SO LONG

Women ‘at a certain age’ know that there is a cream that works the absolute best against wrinkles. But like all beautiful things in life, there are downsides to this as well. Or should I say: there used to be?

This cream (yep, I'm talking about vitamin A) was only available by prescription (and not every doctor sees the importance of a smooth skin), because the effect of the retinol in the cream was quite intense, causing some women (not me, of course, I slathered it on thick) to experience pain in their skin, develop dry patches, or even, hell on earth, pimples. That's just like having to walk in Birkenstocks on Crocs.

“Just so you know it's really good.”

But there is hope in fearful, wrinkled days, because Medik8 has conducted eight years of scientific research on Retinol Retinoate (just practice); a cream that shows eight times better results than retinol acid. It was developed in a Korean ‘superlab’ and has even made it into the British Journal of Dermatology.

Just so you know it's really good. The texture is also nicely creamy, allowing your skin to absorb it immediately. And you are allowed (because recommended) to apply the cream twice a day. Hooray.
