¿Puedo usar mi Retinol en Verano?

Let's see if retinol can be used in summer.

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 and sunlight: Is it a dangerous combination?

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.

how to use retinol in your treatment routine?

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.

But how can we minimise the risks of retinol use?

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.

On the other hand, it is imperative that you apply a sunscreen: Even if you only use retinol at night, it is crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning. This will protect your skin from the damaging effects of UV light.

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.
