I’m always looking for a great face cream… and vitamin A (also known as Retinol) is my top must-have ingredient. This powerhouse nutrient helps gently slough off dead skin, repair what’s underneath, and leave a soft and glowing face within a week or two. It’s difficult to find high concentrations of Retinol in drugstore products though, and if you don’t have the budget and time to head to the dermatologist for a prescription of Retin-A (the mega powerful version), getting yourself a bottle of over-the-counter Retinology by Lancaster is a good bet.
The texture is rich and velvety, but doesn’t leave your pores clogged or that oily sheen that everyone hates. It’s ideal for fall and winter use since it’s a little more intense than the serum you probably used all summer. This fabulous little cream leaves a light, silky layer on your skin that double-performs as a makeup primer… just add a dab of foundation and/or powder and your skin is flawless. I’ve been using it day and night for about 2 weeks and noticed that my skin is smoother and more radiant… what more can a girl ask for?
