Retinol serum from Nanoil: my at-home facial for flawless skin

The fall is a perfect time for introducing retinol into daily skin-care routine. Is it worth it? Sure, it is! There is just one condition, though. Retinol must be put into a fine-quality product. Today, I share the best retinol-spiked serum with you.

As a matter of fact I’ve already revealed it in the title… Before I move on to discussing the Nanoil Retinol Face Serum, let me tell you about the ingredient alone. Here’s a brief presentation of vitamin A.

Retinol / Vitamin A / Ingredient of youth

You think your skin doesn’t need vitamin A products? It does! Retinol plays an important role in our bodies because it is responsible for the cell renewal. Simply put, vitamin A effectively fights the aging process. Wrinkles? Loss of plumpness? Extremely dry skin and dark spots? You can fix each of these problems with retinol.

See the round-up of the retinol benefits:

  • it exfoliates dead skin cells
  • it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin
  • it thickens the skin making it firmer and elastic
  • it reduces the amount of melanin (pigment) in the skin
  • it strengthens the blood capillaries.

What real effects can you expect then? A good retinol product minimizes wrinkles, brightens dark spots, smoothens and evens the skin, makes dark under-eye circles less noticeable, etc. Each quality of vitamin A translates to real effects in your skin care.

Fun fact! Did you know that vitamin A owes its name to the fact that it was first discovered? It was around 100 years ago and it has been given the first letter of the alphabet because no other vitamin had been identified before that.

Nanoil / The best retinol face serum

It’s high time I presented the hero of today’s post – Nanoil Retinol Face Serum. I chose this one this fall because the vitamin A BasicLab Serum proved to be a flop last year. Thankfully, it looks like I made the right choice this time!

The marvelous bottle was the first thing that caught my eye! I love such slim bottles (Nanoil holds 50 ml of the serum), wooden elements, glass droppers and the overall fancy design. The serum gets another extra point for the light, long-lasting formula.

Still, what’s inside matters the most and the inside is really cool! The Nanoil Retinol Face Serum features a great, stable version of pure vitamin A, plus a plant extract (Boerhavia Diffusa Root Extract) which has antioxidant properties, and propanediol. These are the essential components responsible for the effect the serum has. There are a few extra ingredients and zero colorants, parabens or aromas. It’s heaven for the allergy sufferers. <3

Nanoil Retinol Face Serum / Effects

I’m sure this is what you’re interested in the most. What effect does the Nanoil Retinol Face Serum has on my skin? Am I happy with the results? Of course I am! I wouldn’t recommend it in the first place if it didn’t work wonders on my face.

I started using retinol from Nanoil around 1,5 month ago at the beginning of the fall. I mostly wanted to repair my sun-damaged skin. I had some sun spots, a few freckles (which I don’t like), plus the face looked dull and sallow. I believed that a good serum with retinol was the only remedy.

And it did aid me – the effects took less than a week to appear. My skin felt less tight, better moisturized and nourished. No more peeling skin which used to spoil my make-up!

What I’ve gained thanks to the Nanoil Retinol Face Serum?

  1. Smoother, plumper skin.
  2. Zero pigmentation spots or spider veins.
  3. Skin repair and nourishment.
  4. Perfectly moisturized face without irritations.
  5. Less noticeable dark under-eye circles or puffiness.
  6. Younger-looking, flawless skin.

Retinol treatment in the fall / Guide

Last of all, a piece of advice – it’s a must if you don’t want to treat your skin to irritations!

Pure vitamin A, or retinol, isn’t the most stable vitamin. It may cause irritations, itchiness and burning sensation. Its effect changes particularly due to the sun. This means that it’s best to use retinol in the fall when the sunlight is less intense. I respect that but…

The retinol-based products made nowadays – such as the Nanoil Retinol Face Serum – contain stable versions of vitamin A and additional substances that guarantee safety. Therefore we can use them in the summer, all year round actually, but it’s advised to pair them with a sunscreen – the serum secured by a layer of a cream gives better effects while the skin is protected from the sun.
