A lot of it is pretty much same-old-same-old LOLThis smoothness and softness has been a key observation for me the past week.
I am writing this on Day 8, and there is a smidge left in the bottle which I will endeavour to squeeze out, but it is really otherwise empty.Yup, I’ve heard a lot about Differin, and it’s pretty affordable especially in our part of the world We can also easily get Tretinoin locally without a prescription (another affordable Vitamin A product often touted) I however have chosen not to use these as I feel that it’s too much for my needs.
Shake 15 seconds, and Next! The Alpha-H Beauty Sleep Power Peel is amazing for skin! This releases the Vitamin A liquid concentrate into the serum emulsion.The intention behind this packaging is to ensure that you receive a fresh product each time.
Granted, this makes it more accessible to many in terms of cost, it will not bring the desired results in that period of time. But yes, I do feel a difference between this Clinique and EA retinol, in that this Clinique one feels more “potent”. Like with everything, I’m a bit sceptical that 7 days of use would give you long term results…But I can vouch for brighter, more even-toned, less reactive skin.I must say that I did notice results almost immediately. 4. And, with vitamin C, AHAs and BHAs I’m very much confused as to what skin routine can I follow to minimize the most the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines (I use sunscreen daily, moisturize and a serum from Bobbi brown).From my perspective, I think it was because they wanted consumers to understand that you need both Vitamin C and Vitamin A in your skincare routine. If it did, I’d be worried it was too strong.I’m 27 yo and already’ve been taking measures to prevent fine lines (I’m terrified).
full power of pure, fresh Vitamin C to brighten, even, retexturize—and deliver remarkable.
That said, I do not believe that the percentage of retinol in both brands far exceed each other. I personally feel that Clinique would have retained more credibility (since they say they work with dermatologists) by releasing a full retinol serum. 4. 4.0. Perhaps it’s time to give the Clinique combination a go.
Every day, Vitamin C 10% works on skin's surface to instantly brighten. However, for ‘anti-aging’, I have read that it is not tested for that, and therefore, I fear I may be doing my skin a disservice.
It means I have more choices across the board, and brands have to work harder to impress.
5. Just call me “PB the Guinea Pig” All this time, I had been smearing it directly on my skin.
The first night I used it, I woke up the next morning to noticeably smoother skin. Clinique Fresh Pressed Clinical™ Daily + Overnight Boosters with Pure Vitamins C 10% + A (Retinol) £139.00
Me? Firmly press inner bulb 2x
de-ageing results in just 7 days. It is very nice, except that one tube only lasts you 7 days (14 days at max if you use it on alternate nights) and it is only sold with the Vitamin C serum.
Great review by the way.If you read the instructions, and perhaps have more sensitive skin than I do, you can mix the Retinol serum into your moisturiser and apply it in one single step (Clinique recommends this for their Vitamin C serum too).So why does Clinique sell the Fresh Pressed Retinol serum ONLY with the Vitamin C serum?
I fell off the bandwagon for about 6 months (due to laziness in obtaining any products) and the lines came back with a vengeance. I am no expert, but based on my understanding, Tretinoin reacts more directly on skin, while retinol must first be converted to retinoic acid before it reacts. Remove cap. Together, they may even be better than when used separately.Because Clinique packages the Vitamin A together with the Vitamin C, I used the Vitamin C serum in the morning.That is very clever, especially for the Vitamin C serum, an ingredient which is notoriously unstable. This way, you will end off together with the Vitamin C serum, and for some, this could be less irritating to the skin.
