This video is all about Vitamin A! I'm exploring the different types of Retinoids and sharing the products I've used and loved from each category. My Retinoid journey started years ago and ended quickly in disaster. But the last 3 years I've slowly worked my way back and it's been a far better experience with only a few snafus. This time, I started with the most conservative of the retinoids and worked towards my current favourite! I'm also giving my thoughts on the new age retinoids and the popular retinol alternatives and whether or not I believe they are worthy of being considered in the retinoid category!
This is the first of a series and I will get into more detail about my journey with lots of tips!
