Retinol Oil is a new player in the vitamin A skincare game, promising the same efficacy as other formulas, just less irritation!
Ella Baché is leading the way, with its newly launched Retinol Nourishing Treatment Oil. Shonagh Walker spoke with National Training Manager, Gina Cook to uncover its secrets.
About Ella Bache Retinol Nourishing Treatment Oil
It’s retinol, but not as you know it. The anti-ageing vitamin-A in this concentrated oil works to visibly improve skin tone and texture and minimise the appearance of age spots, fine lines and wrinkles. However, it’s not as irritating, which is welcome news to those of us who experience retinol sensitivity.
“The oil formulation delivers the active ingredient at a slower pace,” explains Gina. “Therefore, the ingredient absorption is therefore potentially less irritating. It’s a slower and more filtered absorption into the skin. The gentle approach ensures most skins can get Retinol included into their skin solution.
Are there benefits associated with the oil itself?
Yes! Gina says, “it delivers the amazing benefits from Retinol – replenishing and rejuvenating the skin, but it also has a magnificent blend of luxe oils that feed and nurture the skin.”
These include botanical extract sunflower seed oil to boost skin density and Kakadu plum seed oil to protect, strengthen and reinforce the skin barrier. There’s also Argan oil, packed with omega fatty acids and vitamin E and linoleic acids to soften skin. Safflower seed oil helps to reduce inflammation while hemp seed oil hydrates.
How to use Ella Bache Retinol Nourishing Treatment Oil
Start by applying to freshly cleansed skin every second night for a few weeks. “Then, build to using every evening under your moisturiser,” says Gina. “To boost efficacy, use in conjunction with Retinol Night Treatment Serum. It will help to lock in the retinol and optimise its benefits. I also recommend experiencing the Ella Baché Reawaken My Rejuvenation Facial Treatment. It’s an advanced treatment featuring a highly concentrated retinol treatment mask to further rejuvenate skin tone, texture and radiance.”
