Just in time for summer, here are 8 foolproof retinol serums that will brighten, clear, and smooth skin.
“Just like we change up our wardrobe, skin needs a change, too,” explains Engelman, who recommends that patients switch to lighter moisturizers in the summer, with a hefty dose of SPF, of course, but continue their retinoid usage year-round—in the form of retinol serum.
A lighter alternative to the hardworking prescription product—which helps to control acne, brighten skin tone, and reduce fine lines, but may also cause redness and irritation when the weather heats up—retinol serums deliver the same benefits, as well as a few extra soothing properties. Take, for instance, Clark’s Botanicals’s latest serum, which releases a concentrated amount of retinol while also providing skin with colloidal oatmeal and red algae extract to reduce redness and inflammation.
And while a twice-daily amount of retinoids may work for some in the winter, Engelman encourages applying these serums once to clean skin before other moisturizers at bedtime, since they can increase photosensitivity, she says. At night, however, “retinol increases cell turnover . . . giving us a mini chemical peel” and in turn a “collagen boost,” she adds.
