Poppy Austin Retinol Cream for Day & Night

Billy Brayshaw
When I decided to take anti-ageing creams seriously by trying out different products and doing some research, time and time again retinol based products were mentioned. As far as I know from my own research, retinol is the only active ingredient that is scientifically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This Poppy Austin moisturiser is great.
Although it says you can use it for both day and night, I only use it at night. The drawback to using retinol-based products is that it does make your skin slightly more sensitive to UV rays, so by using it at night-time and then applying sunscreen during the day, I avoid any of those pesky UV rays.
I’ve used a few retinol moisturisers but always go back to this one, the cream is a nice consistency that hydrates the skin and doesn’t leave it feeling too oily or too dry.
