The Magic of Retinoids


When it comes to achieving healthy and youthful looking skin, there is one ingredient that stands out above the rest in the world of skincare and this is Retinoids. This ingredient is a complete game changer. Why, because it has the ability to improve a wide range of skin concerns.

What are retinoids? Retinoids are a class of chemical compounds derived from vitamin A. These ingredients are effective in improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and addressing concerns like acne and hyperpigmentation.

What are the benefits of Retinoids:
1. Reduces the signs of aging. Retinoids are renowned for their ability to stimulate collagen production, which helps to plump the skin, smooth out wrinkles and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

2. Evens out skin tone. By accelerating cell turnover and inhibiting melanin production, retinoids can fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation and sun damage, resulting in a more even and radiant skin tone.

3. Enhances overall skin health. Retinoids strengthen the skin’s barrier function, increase hydration levels and promote a healthier complexion.

4. Fights acne. Retinoids work by unclogging pores, regulating oil production and reducing inflammation, making them an excellent option for treating acne and preventing future breakouts.

Retinoids work by binding to specific receptors in the skin, where they influence cell behaviour. They accelerate the process of cellular turnover, encouraging older, damaged cells to shed more rapidly and be replaced by fresher, healthier ones. This fast turnover process helps to rejuvenate the skin.

When incorporating retinoids into your skincare routine, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase usage to allow your skin to adjust.

What to expect in a Grand Retinoid Therapy treatment

Your skin is gently cleansed with Hydra Cleansing Milk, removing all traces of dirt, grime and make up. A triple action peeling system will see it that all dead skin cells will be removedby the end of the treatment.

AHA Smoothing Cream is applied to the face and neck and massaged for 5 minutes until absorbed, then left for a few minutes, whilst the Exfoliating Enzyme Mask is mixed with the Exfoliating Enzyme Lotion and gently applied with a brush around the eye area. The face and neck are massaged which allows the dead skin cells to come off with the cream.

Glow Peeling, a serum like product (a combination of Mandelic, Phytic, Absorbic acids) is applied to the face and neck and left for a few minutes and then removed. Leaving your skin completely clean and all dead skin cells are gone.

Bioplacenta Serum is applied to the face and neck until absorbed and Repairing Mask is applied with a soft brush to face and neck. Whilst the Eye Shine Mask is applied to the eye area.

A deeply relaxing facial massage for around 10 minutes, and then the mask is removed with warm water.

This serum and mask will stimulate the skin’s regeneration and repairing mechanism to restore oxidative stress and soften wrinkles.

The treatment is completed by Retinoid 3% Serum which is gently applied to the face and neck, followed by Retinoid C Cream which is massaged until absorbed. Skin will feel plumped, smoothed and so clean and youthful.

To speed up the results, it is recommended to use Retinoid 3% Serum and Retinoid C Cream in the mornings, AHA Smoothing Cream and Bioplacenta Serum at night.

It is important to note that Retinoids can increase sun sensitivity, so it is important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays with Sunfilm SunBliss SPF 50.
