It's pretty simple, really.
to your skincare routine? Or maybe like many, you've found that retinols irritate your skin and cause redness and sensitivity .
‘Retinol sandwiching’ is making the rounds on TikTok as one of the latest skincare trends to try, though it's a tried and tested technique when it comes to using retinoids – essentially, it means buffering your product with a little moisturiser, in order to minimise some of the less-than pleasant side effects of retinol.
ICYMI: retinol is a form of retinoid , loved by dermatologists and skin experts for its skin-smoothing effects as well as treating things like acne and pigmentation. Generally, retinols are a more tolerable form of vitamin A – there are also prescription-strength versions , such as Tretinoin, which are much stronger.The reason that retinols are well known for causing redness, flaking and sensitivity is because, well, they commonly do.
There are many ways you can try to reduce irritation from retinol, from starting with a minimal strength product to building up your tolerance, first by just applying it just once a week – but you could give retinol sandwiching a try, too.The technique involves layering your retinol between your favourite light moisturiser.
She does add, however, that the results may not be as powerful. “If you have sensitive skin, want to focus on barrier protection, or are new to retinol, sandwiching can be a great way to introduce or keep retinol in your routine”, she says. “But if you have resilient skin or want to focus on invigorating your skin, applying retinol directly to clean, exfoliated skin is the way to go.”
