Retinu
Unlike creams or moisturisers, Sonya Dakar’s weightless Retinu serum is able to penetrate deep within skin where it ‘irritates’ cells into action. As we grow older, our skin’s production line slows down – cells manufacture essential ‘scaffolding’ such as elastin and collagen more slowly – which is where retinol comes to the fore. Like a parent who insists you ‘GET OUT OF BED!’, the vitamin A-derivative renews cells’ vigour so they behave like much younger versions of themselves. Skin texture is refined and tone becomes more even – and because the retinol is naturally-derived, the skin-renewal process is extremely gentle, so you won’t encounter any all-too common dryness, redness or unsightly flaking.
