UNDERSTANDING RETINOL: TIPS AND TRICKS FOR CHOOSING A RETINOL AND OPTIMIZING YOUR RESULTS
My number one tip for fall...RETINOL!🧡 If you are like me and notice your skin looking a little haggard and summer-weary too, don't panic! Revive your glow, smooth skin texture, and remove old skin cells damaged by the sun with our fall favorite, retinol.
Here are a few of our best-selling retinol products, along with my tips and tricks for a smooth retinol experience!
First of all retinoid use is all about repairing and replacing damaged collagen. With this in mind, I recommend starting from the inside with a good collagen supplement that supports skin elasticity and firmness. My daily choice is Humm Collagen Love.

TRETINOIN
The standard form of retinol prescribed by dermatologists is Tretinoin (Retin A). Tretinoin is a synthetic version of vitamin A that is very strong and requires a prescription from a doctor.
TIPS for those using Tretinoin:
1. Wait 20 minutes after washing your face before applying Tretinoin.
2. Apply a fine layer of Rhonda Allison Grape Seed Replenish UNDER your prescription tretinoin. https://www.artofskincare.com/rhonda-allison-grape-seed-replenish/
3. Start slow. While it is ideal to use Tretinoin daily, a gradual approach is often necessary. Week 1 - Use Tretinoin once, Week 2 - Use Tretinoin twice, Week 3 - Use Tretinoin three times, and so forth.
L. RETINOL
L. Retinol is the chirally correct natural form of vitamin A.
TIPS for using L. Retinol:
1. Before applying your retinol serum apply a layer of Rhonda Allison DNAge Reversal. For most people, this biopeptide serum mitigates any adverse side effects that retinol can sometimes cause. https://www.artofskincare.com/rhonda-allison-dnage-reversal/
2. Use a moisturizing balm. https://www.artofskincare.com/sorella-apothecary-the-balm/ or https://www.artofskincare.com/rhonda-allison-vita-age-defy-cream/
3. With L.Retinol, I like a more direct approach than with Tretinoin. I recommend using your serum every night until you notice peeling or dryness. If you experience any peeling, back off and go slower.

RETINALDEHYDE
Touted by some as the most potent natural retinoid. While I like the results with Retinaldehyde, they are often not as fast or dramatic as L. Retinol. However, Retinaldehyde is handled much better than the other forms of retinoid. This is the form that I choose for those new to retinoids and those with very sensitive skin.
Retinaldehyde is at its best when it is combined with an Alpha-or Bet-Hydroxy Acid.
