bareMinerals Ageless 10% Phyto-Retinol Night Concentrate Review
Retinol is probably the best-known ingredient in the beauty industry. It is a miracle regarding anti-ageing, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and boosting collagen production. It has even been proven to work as an acne treatment.
I love retinol, and it is what got me into the skincare world. So, you can imagine how shocked I was to find out that most cosmetic brands’ retinol formulas contain animal-derived ingredients. But fret not. Because bareMinerals has come to the rescue with their Ageless Phyto-Retinol Night Concentrate – a fast-absorbing, vegan, cruelty-free retinol cream.
The Most Important Thing About This Ageless Phyto-Retinol Is…
This clean-formula Night Concentrate has been clinically proven to not only minimise the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines with a plant-based retinol, but also smooth bumpy skin texture and even out the skin tone with moisturising peptides and hydrating hyaluronic acid for a radiant complexion in only 1 week.
What Skin Type Is It For?
BareMinerals’ Night Concentrate has been designed with sensitive skin types in mind. The Phyto-Retinol is formulated to be gentle to the skin. It causes less redness, sensitivity and dryness than regular retinol. It’s suitable for all skin types, tones and ages.
You Will Love This If…
If you have used retinol before and found it to be irritating, I would highly recommend bareMinerals’ Ageless Phyto-Retinol. It combines the exfoliating properties of retinol with the soothing qualities of peptides and hyaluronic acid, which means it is delicate to the skin and not as abrasive as a standard retinol formula.
Hero Ingredients:
I’ve been aiming to declutter my skincare routine, so I love that bareMinerals’ Ageless Phyto-Retinol blends plant-based retinol, protein peptides and hyaluronic acid in one product. The 10% Phyto-Retinol is as effective as standard retinol, while being more delicate to the skin. The protein peptides and hyaluronic acid combined hydrate the skin and improve skin texture for smoother, younger-looking skin.
What Does It Feel Like?
This bareMinerals’ retinol has a thin, milky texture that absorbs effortlessly. Personally, I prefer this type of texture over a serum, as it feels like the product is melting into the skin rather than sitting on top of it.
What Does It Smell Like?
The retinol has a lovely, refreshing scent of lemon and soothing chamomile.
How Do You Use The Product?
In the evening after cleansing your skin, apply a few drops on your whole face, sparing the eye area. Lock in the product with a moisturiser. Avoid using it with AHAs, BHAs and vitamin C, as it can cause irritation.
What’s Special About The Design?
The Ageless Phyto-Retinol comes in an opaque bottle, which is important as the sun can damage retinol. This is why it is also recommended to put on retinol at night.
Values?
BareMinerals’ is committed to use less plastic. The formula uses natural ingredients, is vegan and cruelty-free.
