Experts say: This is the only cream that really works

This works best for you

I strongly believe in a 360-degree approach when it comes to the skin. There is not one holy grail or magic remedy that gives us all peachy cheeks. It is a dance between your genes, your environment (do you live in a busy city or nice in the countryside?), your behavior (do you smoke and spend a lot of time in the sun? By the way, these are the 8 sunniest cities in Europe), eating habits, and of course your skincare and treatments. I personally believe very much in the effect of laser and prp, treatments that stimulate your skin to improve.
Creams also help. But according to experts, there is one ingredient that has been scientifically proven to help improve your skin.

And that is: vitamin A, also known as retinol. Retinol is a form of vitamin A.
What vitamin A can do:
· normalizing your skin functions
· repairing sun damage down to your DNA
· reducing excessive sebum production
· thinning your upper skin layer
· thickening the deeper skin layers
· brightening pigmentation spots
· improving skin texture
· fading wrinkles and fine lines
· firming the skin
· improving skin hydration
· enhancing your skin's immunity
· making your skin more resilient to external influences such as UV radiation

Still a magic remedy, you might think, but unfortunately, it is not that simple. Your skin can react strongly to vitamin A and even become irritated. Therefore, it is wise to first take vitamin A orally and then start applying it in low doses. You can use creams or serums with a low dose of vitamin A and see which product and dosage suits you best. What do I recommend? Go to a skin therapist like Annelijn van Ierland or the people at Doctors at Soap for expert and tailored advice.
