I Took 10 Years Off My Face & Banished Redness Once And For All With This Retinol Serum

I’ve struggled with an uneven skin tone most of my adult life. I was actually blessed with not one, not two, but three skin tone and texture issues: redness, acne scars AND dark spots. Oh joy! And now that I’m well into my mid-thirties I’ve added sagging skin to that list.

My dermatologist and author of “The Pro-Aging Playbook” Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank says to focus on skin quality before trying Botox or injectables, and so that’s where I’m at in my skin journey. (Psst–I’ve found great success with procedures like Vivace microneedling and Clear + Brilliant). But an at-home product has transformed my skin as well.

La Suite’s Retinol Serum has been a game-changer–especially for my redness. Here’s everything you need to know:

As the brand’s founder and aesthetics guru Rhea Souhleris Grous explains, “This retinol is super efficacious without the typical irritation and redness that we are all used to having when using retinol because of the delivery system.”

It’s paired with Bakuchiol, “a botanical powerhouse acting similarly to retinol.” This ingredient is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. This is how the product delivers a pure and active form of Vitamin A without causing irritation. Genius!

-Licorice root is an antioxidant and also helps with discoloration.-Green Tea is a big antioxidant, plus very calming and soothing.-Caffeine is an antioxidant that reduces redness.

After cleansing nightly (I use oil cleanser–game changer), push down and twist the child-resistant cap. Dispense3-4 drops and massage all over skin with your fingertips. Follow with moisturizer.

I have seen many benefits to using this product nightly. For one, my skin is smoother and younger-looking. I feel like I’m aging in reverse. Girls in your late twenties–start a retinol regime immediately! Secondly–and this is huge–my skin is so much less blotchy and red day-to-day. I have finally achieved the even skin tone. Now to address those sagging areas!
