Dermatologistโ Validates “Retinol Sandwich” as Key โto Anti-Aging Success After โฃ50
Paris,France – For those โseeking to maintain youthful โskin without escalating to harsher treatments,a dermatologist-backed method focusing on optimized retinol use is gaining traction. While retinol and retinoids are established anti-aging powerhouses – โproven to accelerate cell renewal, improve skin texture, reduce pigment spots, and stimulate collagenโ – their potential for irritation frequently enough leads to discontinuation, particularly inโค individuals over 50 withโฃ more sensitive skin. โ
Now, experts are advocating for a technique called the “retinol sandwich” toโ maximize benefits while minimizing discomfort. Dermatologist โฃMona Gohara explains the method: “The order of your routine (serum with โhyaluronic acid, then retinol โand barrier โฃcream) is ideal. โขImagine readiness, application, then protection.”โค
The technique involves layering a moisturizing hyaluronic acid serum before and a barrier cream after retinol application. This approach doesn’t diminish the retinoid’sโค potency, but instead creates a protective habitat to prevent dryness, flaking, redness, and โคtingling – common sideโค effects that ofen cause users to abandon the treatment.
“This retinol layering technique allows everyone to develop a tolerance to retinol โฃwithout the discomfortโฆthat frequently enough โprompts people to abandon this product,” Gohara stated.The focus onโข consistent application, facilitated by reduced irritation, is crucial for achieving lasting results. While requiring a more involved routine, dermatologists consider this the most effective anti-aging method, especially for those over 50.
