Why You Need a Daytime Retinol NowThe latest crop of retinol products don't fight wrinkles and discoloration while you sleep -- they do it during the day. Find out how to use retinol, and why you should |
1 of 8
This retinol was developed as the daytime counterpart to Philosophy Help Me Retinol Night Treatment, $45. So if you're looking for non-stop, 24-hour wrinkle fighting, try these two in tandem. The retinol is released gradually though "microsponge" technology, and there's added vitamin E for antioxidant benefits. While the SPF 30 is appealing, Woolery-Lloyd stresses that it's not enough. "Even if there's sunscreen in a product, you should apply more sunscreen on top," she says. "You won't be using enough of the retinol product to get the full SPF benefit." (Remember: You need a teaspoon-size amount of sunscreen to protect your entire face.)

I love the Philosophy night time Help Me. I use glycolic during the day.

Great suggestions for retinol-based products. I am dying to try the Dr. Dennis Gross one!

Having a problem with retinol and acne. Claims to help with acne, I don't see it happening yet.

I use Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair eyecream. I think it has made a difference, but it does not have enough moisturizer in it at all. The skin underneath where I apply the cream looks terrible- really, really lined. (I'm 49.)

I'm not a big retinoid fan. Philosophy products have great scents, finishes, and packaging, but do not seem to work. At all. :(

You CAN'T use retinol during the day. Retinol replaces old skin cells, leaving your face vulnerable to an attack on the new cells, even with sunscreen protection, which can even make the situation worse. Please don't use retinol during the day. Use it at night, as prescribed by dermatologists!
