The September 2023 Beauty Edit – What’s new this month!

Neutrogena Retinol Boost

Neutrogena has launched its brand-new face care range, Retinol Boost, comprising of six products designed to prevent and correct multiple visible signs of ageing. Harnessing the power of pure retinol (a dermatologist-proven form of Vitamin A) for visibly youthful, healthy-looking skin, this comprehensive range is suitable for beginner to expert retinol users. Developed with dermatologists, the new innovative Retinol Boost formulas blend three key ingredients with the aim of achieving maximum efficacy with great tolerability. The powerhouse ingredient – pure retinol – is scientifically proven to stimulate cell renewal at the skin’s surface, it also works to increase collagen production. As cells renew, skin looks rejuvenated and revitalised, and fine lines, dullness, wrinkles, and pigmentation spots are improved. Myrtus plant extract, known for its skin-regenerating benefits, boosts retinol effectiveness by 83%, while hyaluronic acid intensely hydrates and plumps the skin.

For retinol beginners, gradually phase into your skincare routine, start with 2-3 uses per week for the first 3 weeks, working up to daily/nightly use as tolerated. The Retinol Boost range is suitable for both daytime and nighttime use. Always use an SPF during the day when using retinol, as it can increase sun sensitivity. Available now from Lloyds, McCabes, Hickeys and independent pharmacies nationwide starting from RRP €30.99.
