Plus, more firming retinol creams that are on sale this weekend.
Taking care of skin can feel like a full-time job. There’s so much time, effort, and money that goes into achieving a glowing complexion. And if you’re dealing with a handful of concerns, there’s one multitasking ingredient that can save you all the hard work: retinol. While you may know it as a wrinkle minimizer, this vitamin-A derivative can also tackle acne, hyperpigmentation, rough texture, as well as dull skin.
Fortunately, it comes in so many different forms, including retinol creams that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine. And right now, you can even score retinol formulas on sale this Labor Day weekend starting at $10. Below, I’ve rounded up eight picks that promise a smoother, radiant complexion.
$10
Nature Well’s Retinol Advanced Moisture Cream is a must-try if you don’t want to spend a fortune. This now-$10 moisturizer softens wrinkles, clears hyperpigmentation and scars, and tightens loose skin thanks to an encapsulated retinol. This prime ingredient is a more stable version of retinol, which is more tolerable for skin, making it ideal for all skin types to use. What’s more? This face and body cream includes nourishing ingredients like coconut oil, glycerin, and grapeseed oil (among others) that drench the skin in moisture. A 50 year-old reviewer shared that this cream makes their skin “smooth and tight,” while a 71 year-old reviewer similarly noted “smoother skin with visibly less wrinkles.”
$30
More than 29,000 Amazon shoppers swear by the Advanced Clinicals Retinol Body Lotion. And for $15 apiece, you can score this creamy moisturizer's two pack version to rejuvenate your complexion all over. It contains retinol to tighten and smooth skin, along with ultra-soothing and moisturizing ingredients like a green tea extract, chamomile, and aloe vera. A 59 year-old shopper said that their “thin and crepey skin” now looks “10 years younger” thanks to this retinol formula, while another reviewer shared that their “skin’s dryness and crepe skin is silky smooth.”
$37
As for undereye wrinkles, Paula’s Choice Ceramide-Enriched Firming Eye Cream is an ideal choice if you want a plump and brighten your complexion. The award-winning formula is infused with retinol, vitamin C, and peptides, which work together to visibly fade deep wrinkles, dark circles, and dryness. Several reviewers raved that it leaves skin “smoother and less saggy” and “plumps skin right away.” Now, you can score the firming lotion for 25 percent off.
$15
Derma E is offering 25 percent off sitewide, including on the Anti-Wrinkle Renewal Cream, which is marked down $15. This face lotion is composed of retinol and bakuchiol (a natural retinol alternative) that smooths creases in skin and reduces blemishes for an even look. It’s incredibly nourishing for dehydrated skin, too. Ingredients like panthenol, vitamin E, safflower seed oil, and avocado oil deeply hydrate skin to keep it soft and supple. A reviewer who’s on their second jar said their “fine lines have noticeably diminished,” while another added that this thick cream offers the “perfect balance of moisture all over.”
$27
Sarah Jessica Parker is a fan of this brand’s retinol collection, which she calls her “holy grail.” Now, you can try its face cream version for $27 while it’s on sale. The RoC Retinol Correxion Cream is powered by retinol and hyaluronic acid to smooth out wrinkles and blemishes, as well as provide long-lasting hydration; in turn, it reveals a plump, clear appearance. Reviewers even dubbed it the “fountain of youth in a jar,” and a “wrinkle eraser” for mature skin.
