Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0 Review

Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0 is an anti-ageing serum that packs a punch. If you are serious about skin care and looking for an anti-ageing product that really works, this is the one to invest in.

Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0 Review

Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0 supports natural cell regeneration and reduces the appearance of signs of skin ageing. This powerful serum is recommended for the treatment of the loss of skin tone, wrinkles, fine lines and dull complexion.

So, what exactly is in this orange liquid that makes it so effective?

1% Retinol Complex
Improves the appearance of dry, aging or damaged skin.

1% Pure Vitamins C & E
With renowned antioxidant properties, this combination of vitamins combats the signs of photoaging and limits their appearance.

1% Ceramides, Panthenol, Allantoin and Mineral Cocktail
Hydrating and nourishing actives which reinforce the skin barrier and intensely hydrate skin.

Why Retinol?

When retinol and other retinoids come into contact with skin, enzymes in the body convert the retinol into retinoic acid, the active form of the vitamin. This is the unique ingredient that goes to work on skin cells in a variety of helpful ways. Namely, retinoic acid works to increase cell turnover, stimulate collagen and elastin production, fade hyperpigmentation, and help skin stay hydrated and glowing without irritation. Thanks to all this healthy turnover, retinol can treat and prevent everything from stubborn cystic acne and eczema to sun-induced wrinkles and dark spots. Dermaceutic’s Activ Serums have the highest percentage of retinol that is safe to use daily on the skin.

This unique combination of high performance actives makes this a very potent cocktail, and I promise you, it really works.

I must warn you that Retinol can irritate sensitive skin and you should not overdo it when you incorporate it in your skin care routine. It may be better to start off with a lower dose, and Dermaceutic’s Activ Retinol 0.5 is perfect as it is recommended for normal and sensitive skin.

Even though my skin is sensitive, I tend to be a little impatient and I can sometimes go a bit overboard. I started out with 1.0 and I applied it every day when I received it. That caused a bit of redness and a little peeling (nothing major), so I toned it down and used it every second day. My skin got used to it very quickly and I now use it once a day.

Result: smoother, brighter and more even-toned skin. Really. I noticed positive results within the first 10 days of using this serum.

I am running low and I dread the moment this gorgeous bottle runs dry. It really is worth every single cent.

Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0 retails for R924.

Well done on yet another stellar product Dermaceutic.

Lancôme Juicy Shakers

Prepare to fall in love!

Lancôme has recently introduced the much anticipated Juicy Shakers and I am head over heels for these little cocktail shakers.

Fall in love with Lancôme Juicy Shakers

So what exactly are these tubes of juicy goodness?!

Lancôme Juicy Shakers

Lancôme has combined nourishing lip oils with beautiful colour pigment to create a gloss that glides on to your lips, leaving them looking and feeling luscious. The formula is not sticky at all. No, really. I know many glosses claim to be, but this one really isn’t. It feels light and silky on your lips and it’s quite addictive. The colour payoff is sheer, but a lot better than I expected it to be and the shine is simply gorgeous.

Lancôme Juicy Shaker in Good Kara-Mel

The tube is in the shape of a mini cocktail shaker emulating the Shaker that Lancôme created in 1946. You have to give the tube a good shake in order for the oil and pigment to combine, and then you apply it to your lips using the unique cushion applicator.

Everything about this product spells fun; the vibrant shades, the juicy and delectable scents, the shaker and the soft sponge applicator.

Lancôme Juicy Shakers are available in 8 shades, all with their own mouth-watering fragrance. Find them at your nearest Lancôme counter now for R270 each.

SHAKE IT! TWIST IT! LOVE IT!
