You need a bio regional - plant based . Much less “harsh” on the skin. And bonus you can use in daytime whereas retinol is dangerous to expose skin to sun with use. Message me and I can give you some info !

I threw the retinol in the trash when I started having the results I’m having with Korean beauty.

Maybe a Bakuchi serum will work for you. It's a Retinol alternative.

Thanks for all the replies! Has anyone tried Dr Sam’s skincare? Or Korean skincare brand Somebymi?

I don’t think our skin needs retinol as much as we’re told it does! I went back to a much simpler skincare routine earlier this year and my skin is so much better. And it’s Korean based skincare too!

Retinol is a form of Vitamin A. It’s the best vitamin for skin. Skin needs it daily to protect against UV/enviroment which is highest cause of ageing, skin damage and concerns. However retinol is highest form. It’s too strong for skin to tolerate so find a lower form of vitamin a you can wear daily and work up to retinol. I’ve switched so many clients over to Environs step up system and their skin is glowing. Let me know if you’d like me to share more on this 🫶🏼

Let’s chat

The skincare I use has a plant based version of retinol called bidens pilosa. No harsh side effects. Much safer on skin.

Ooohh you need Environ’s latest retinol .
