The Mum Club21 February 2024 CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CAUDALIE Anyone else’s kids completely aged them and looking for some skincare to repair the damage? Caudalie’s Resveratrol-Lift Firming Cashmere Cream has been clinically proven to make skin 98% firmer in less than 3 weeks*. So could it be an alternative to Retinol? Read on to find out… *Clinical study: % of satisfaction, 44 volunteers, 18 days. What Exactly is Retinol? Retinol (aka Vitamin A) is an antioxidant within your body and an incredible ingredient that can benefit your skin. Because Retinol can cause irritation and redness, one of the biggest misconceptions is that it exfoliates the skin. Instead, it helps to support the skin, and because of its uniquely small molecular structure, it can penetrate the deepest levels of our skin and help boost the production of collagen and elastin. *Which keeps us looking young. What Can I Use Instead of Retinol? While you can’t match the exact power of Retinol (Vitamin A), you can mimic the effects with some incredible gentler alternatives. Highly effective skincare like Caudalie’s Resveratrol-Lift range, contains an exclusive anti-ageing patent, which uses Vine Resveratrol, Hyaluronic Acids and Vegan Collagen Booster, to stimulate all 3 types of collagen, which can visibly help the signs of ageing. 98% Firmer skin in less than 3 weeks* X5 more natural collagen production** X2 more natural hyaluronic acid production** *Clinical study: % of satisfaction, 44 volunteers, 18 days. **Test in vitro on ingredients. Are Retinol Alternatives Any Good? Yes absolutely! They can work wonders to enhance your complexion, and many are safe to use throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. They’re also gentler to use on sensitive complexions that might be more prone to hormonal flare-ups. What We Thought When We Used Them… “I have been a long-term fan of Retinol, so when I found out I was pregnant, I wasn’t sure where to start with an alternative. I was pleasantly surprised by how well other ingredients stood up. During my first (very sickly!) trimester, I felt like my skin became very dull. After introducing a collagen-based cream to my morning routine, I started to see the pregnancy-like glow that I expected to receive naturally!” TMC Contributor, Matilda Stanley Where to Find Retinol Alternatives… Caudalie’s Resveratrol-Lift range encompasses a set of facial products that work to plump and smooth your complexion and contains a mix of unique and hard-working ingredients.
