    I got a Retinol product in a beauty box and found it brill.
    Does anyone recommend a good 'affordable' Retinol product?

    Retinals are useless. They dont go deep enough into the skin to make a difference. They also have to be converted to another substance for them to be effective. But they dont have meaningful results. Here is a video from a dermatologist about it.

    Use a AHA like Glycolic acid. That is actually effective

    I saw on a blog of a girl who went to visit the fancy mulroony skin care clinic that she was recommended one called Prescribed Solutions Starting Up Face. She was told only to use it twice a week and it was essential to use a spf 50 everyday while using it. Not an spf moisturiser note but a proper sunscreen called Hellio or something similar.

    Anyone used that cleanser by any chance?
