‘That’s why we developed the No7 Pure Retinol Post Retinol Soother, a retinol-free formulation that’s been specifically designed for use with high strength retinol products like the No7 Pure Retinol 1% Night Concentrate.

This is because your skin can be prone to dryness and redness due to retinol’s action on the skin, especially at higher more potent strengths.

‘When using retinol, it’s really important to use nourishing products that can help hydrate, calm and support the skin’s barrier as part of your night-time regime. We spoke to Dr Eleanor Bradley, No7’s Science Credentialing Manager, about what you should apply after using retinol. When you first apply only use a pea-sized amount. ‘Even if you can’t build up to anymore than two days per week it’s still effective and worth doing so don’t be put off,’ says Dr Stefanie. So if it’s your first time using it, ease yourself in by applying a low percentage and only use twice per week at intervals, gradually increasing to daily use if your skin can tolerate it well.Īs your skin adapts and, if you don’t suffer from too much sensitivity, you can increase the percentage too. When first using retinol you can experience some irritation such as dryness, redness and even flaky skin. ‘Start, at the latest, when you see the first signs of reduced skin elasticity, fine lines and also irregular pigmentation,’ advises Dr Stefanie Williams.
