Professionally as well as personally I have seen the results of retinol. It has helped time stand still for the skin of millions. But I have also experienced it's common negative side affect, A damaged skin barrier. I spent weeks confused, why were my beloved skincare products now causing irritation and burning sensations? Why was my skin itchy and blotchy looking?
Eventually I realized that with the help of sunlight and pool water chemicals, the actives I was using became to much and my skin was crying out for help. Even taking a break from the actives, I found that the most gentle of products were still causing stinging. I was becoming increasingly concerned but in the 11th hour I found the product that not only fixed the issue, but felt so good on my skin. I have been able to return to my prior active skincare regimen, and my skin feels hydrated and renewed with the help of Elta MD Barrier Renewal Complex. I hope this post helps someone else find the relief I was seeking before adding this product to my arsenal.
