Why My Retinyl Reflecting Serum Is the Best Version of Vitamin A I’ve Ever Used
If you’ve ever dipped your toe into the world of anti-aging skincare, you’ve probably heard of retinol. But here’s something you may not know: not all forms of vitamin A are created equal. Retinyl Reflecting Serum—my newest, most innovative take on vitamin A skincare, designed for real results without the usual irritation.
What Is Retinyl Propionate—and Why Should You Care?
Let’s clear something up first: no, I didn’t spell retinol wrong. Retinyl propionate is a gentler, more stable derivative of vitamin A. It’s incredibly effective, but without the harsh side effects that often come with stronger retinoids.
For anyone looking to ease into retinoid skincare or find a non-irritating vitamin A serum, this is the perfect place to start. And yes, I offer more advanced versions if you're ready for them.
The Benefits of Retinyl Reflecting Serum:
- Reduces the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads
- Improves hyperpigmentation
- Increases cell turnover
- Stimulates collagen production
- Helps reverse signs of sun damage and aging
Retinoids are still the only topical ingredients backed by decades of research proving they can reverse skin aging and repair damaged skin. That’s no small claim.
A Unique Formula: Peptides, Not Vitamin C
You might be wondering why I felt the need to create yet another serum. I’ve worked with countless acne-prone clients, and I noticed a missing link. Many “transition” products between acne and age-management routines included vitamin C, which I don’t love for acne-prone skin (more on that in another post).
So, I formulated a serum with powerful peptides—and without vitamin C.
What’s Inside:
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: Helps relax facial muscles to soften expression lines
- Pentapeptide-18: Shown to reduce the depth of wrinkles and fine lines
These peptides deliver visible anti-aging benefits, making this serum ideal for someone managing both acne and early signs of aging.
Why “Reflecting”?
Nope, there’s no shimmer in this serum. I call it “Reflecting” because when your skin is properly exfoliated, hydrated, and balanced, it reflects light naturally. That’s the glow we’re all chasing, right?
It’s not about covering your skin—it’s about creating the kind of healthy, luminous complexion that gets noticed.
