SUN CARE
FACIAL CARE
Retinol, known for its powerful regenerating and depigmenting effects, is an essential active ingredient in many facial care routines. However, at this time of year the question arises: can I use retinol in summer, yes or no? The answer is yes, you can use retinol in summer, but with certain precautions. Here are some tips to keep in mind to do it safely.
Retinol belongs to the retinoid family, potent active ingredients derived from Vitamin A that play an essential role in skin cell renewal, making it perfect for combating small sun spots on the skin.
Retinol, such as that included in our innovative Super Serum Midnight Reset, is known to be a key ally against the signs of skin ageing. Recommended primarily for its ability to diminish blemishes, improve skin texture while preventing the appearance of wrinkles, it has become an indispensable component of facial care routines. Gisele Denis Super Serum Midnight Reset has a light texture, smells amazing and is tested on sensitive skin.
However, we have several Retinol products, in different textures, such as the retinol and vegetable collagen creams, which is a night renewal treatment with +94% of ingredients of natural origin and which combines the lightening and regenerating power of Retinol with the repairing and emollient effect of Vegetable Collagen.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a product to combat age spots, which are mainly caused by the sun, in a liquid texture, your ally is Gisele Denis' Super Retinol Concentrate because it has an ultra-light texture.
Any of these products are ideal for radiant, even skin.
Our products have micro-encapsulated retinol, which means it is not aggressive to the skin and penetrates better. However, we recommend using retinol only at night, as during the day, exposure to the sun can minimise the effect of the active ingredient, as contact with sunlight causes the active ingredient to lose its effect. Therefore, the ideal time to apply retinol is in your nighttime routine.
Combine with nourishing and moisturising products: Retinol, even if micro-encapsulated, can be drying, especially in summer. Therefore, using a moisturising product, such as our face creams, that contains soothing ingredients will help keep your skin balanced.
Introduce retinol gradually: If you are new to using retinol, start with applications every 2-3 nights so that your skin can gradually adapt. Although in the case of Gisele Denis retinol products, as it is micro-encapsulated, it is not as aggressive as others on the market.
If you prefer to avoid retinol during the sunnier months, there are alternatives to retinol in summer that can offer similar benefits without increasing sun sensitivity.
Such as:
It is a plant extract that mimics the effects of retinol without the irritation. It is gentler and can be used both day and night.
Perfect for maintaining hydration and reducing the appearance of fine lines on the skin. An ideal product could be the new Super Hyaluronic Acid Concentrate, as it is a highly effective facial treatment that moisturises, smoothes the skin, reduces and fights wrinkles.
A powerful antioxidant that helps to brighten the skin and protect it from environmental damage. An ideal product could be the new Super Vitamin C Concentrate, as it is a highly effective facial treatment that brightens the face and increases skin firmness.
For those looking to use retinol safely in the summer, our nightly renewal treatments are an excellent choice, combining the lightening and regenerating power of retinol with the repairing effect of plant collagen.
