Is Retinol Bad for your Skin?🤔

Is retinol bad for you? That's debatable. I wouldn't use it because of the additives, synthetic, often toxic additives added into retinol formulas. What we use is plant derived vitamin A that we source from France. A very high concentrated form of vitamin A that we get from organic alfalfa that's then extracted and it is in our gold serum is one of the five actives, clean actives that I ingest that are incredible for your skin as well, along with copper peptide acid, astaxanthin, marine collagen, CoQ10 and plant derived vitamin A. Those are our five clean actives in the gold serum specifically. But we use the Medicago Sativa alfalfa extract that has similar benefits to retinol and retinoids, but without the unpredictable downtime, sun sensitivity and irritation commonly affiliated with retinol. But it does work. But I would rather chance it and use another natural process through exfoliation and hydrating that area, increasing microcirculation and kind of plumping up those fine lines and wrinkles over time. You stay consistent with that routine, those wrinkles fade away, but it just takes, you know, being consistent with it. But I would rather do that than like a quick fix band aid with that that has little toxin, you know, toxic elements in it, meaning retinol.
